When I go into SWAT, and click on the Status button, it shows smbd and nmbd running, but winbind says 'not running'. But when I do the following, it shows it's running just fine.. I'm running the latest stable release of samba 3.0. I have noticed this behavior since the first RC of samba 3, and I assumed it would be fixed on the way to final release.. Is this a bug in SWAT, or maybe a hint that something isn't configured with my winbind properly, hinting to a problem that I submitted in another email to this list recently, with subject "Using WINBIND and the latest samba 3". [root@frodo root]# ps -ax | grep winbind 2456 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/winbindd 2457 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/winbindd [root@frodo root]# /etc/init.d/winbind status winbindd (pid 2457 2456) is running...
