Thus the sssd question.Yes, if you run winbindd, you shouldn't run nscd. sssd does a lot more than what nscd does and the only place that sssd does a better job than winbindd, is on a DC.>> It might help if you could post your smb.conf file. > [snip] > > Very well.

I spent too much time last time.I don't blame you. Trust me: I really don't want to be approaching this, again, either :/ I actually had domain logins & roaming profiles working, at one point. But that was before I ripped-out everything that wasn't necessary for straight workgroup serving. Now I'm wondering just how much I'd have to put back, essentially.
