samba - Jun 2002 - How are people managing startup/shutdown of winbindd?

Greetings,

I realize many people will never use winbindd, and thus it will likely not
get included in /etc/init.d/samba (on my Debian system; your file may vary)
by default, so another solution seems in order.  

It's not as important to be able to start and stop winbindd now that
it's
getting more robust, but I'd still like something.

How are y'all out there in Samba land handling this?

I include it in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb startup script:

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting SMB services: "
        daemon smbd -D
        daemon nmbd -D
        echo
        touch /var/lock/subsys/smb

        echo Starting Winbind Daemon
        /usr/sbin/winbindd
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down SMB services: "
        killproc smbd
        killproc nmbd
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/smb
        killproc winbindd
        echo ""
        ;;
  status)
        status smbd
        status nmbd
        status winbindd
        ;;
  restart)
        echo -n "Restarting SMB services: "
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        echo "done."
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: smb {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 1

See packaging/RedHat/smb.init in the latest SAMBA_2_2 cvs tree.

This assumes that people must use samba if they want to use winbind?
There are applications of winbind (for example, I am putting in a
linux/winbind mail server to replace Mercury mail running on the win2k
dc, but have no need for sharing files) where smbd is not needed.

For an alternative implementation, see packaging/Mandrake/winbind.init
(in 2.2.2, 2.2.3a or 2.2.4, seems it's disappeared from cvs).

This starts up and shuts down nmbd with winbindd if smbd is not running.

(Jerry, it seems this file is in the Attic in current samba_2_2 cvs, any
good reason? I haven't gotten around to testing packaging of samba cvs
for Mandrake yet ...):
