I'm not too familiar with HP-UX so you may need to ask on the mailing list.
The first question that comes to mind is whether your nsswitch configuration
is correct. Under Linux you edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, but I don't know about
HP-UX. The relevent lines in mine look like this:
passwd: files winbind nisplus nnis
group: files winbind nisplus nis
The important thing is that 'winbind' be in there.
Secondly, make sure libnss_winbind.so.2 is installed in /lib. 'make
install' does not do this on its own. Also, create a symbolic link to it
named /lib/libnss_winbind.so. You may need to run ldconfig (or whatever the
HP-UX equivalent is) after doing this.
The absence of 'getent' shouldn't be a problem because it's only
used for
testing.
I'm going to CC this to the samba mailing list in case someone with more
HP-UX experience than me has a suggestion.
