Hi. We have a configuration and audit application called Tripwire Enterprise (7.5) that is running on a Red Enterprise Linux 5.2 server. On this server, we are using winbind (samba version 3.0.33) for authentication (against Windows AD). When we try to run a configuration check on users and permissions we get an error that there is a problematic frame : C [libnss_winbind.so.2+0x129f] . I talked to the software vendor (Tripwire) and they are saying that the winbind must be multithreaded for this to run. My question to you.. Is there a samba release more current than the version we are on (3.0.33 most currently supported Red Hat version) that we can upgrade to to give us multithreading functionality ? or is there a suggested workaround for this ? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chuck Noga The David J. Joseph Company Sys. Infra. Engineer.

Not 100 percent sure. Is there a way to determine whether our current libnss_winbind is thread-safe ? If not, is there a way to make it .
