I have now managed to get winbind working fine without any problems. I am using 'winbind separator = + in a RH7.1 computer, but I am getting this error when a user logs into the server: [: too many arguments Ive checked the pam files, and commented eachline out untill I cannot login, and also tried to alter the .bashrc and .bash_profile files, but its not helping. If I login as a local user then its fine. Has anyone come across this before? Ive also tried altering the + to a \ and its still the same.
