samba - Aug 2004 - winbind upgrade causes core dump

Hello all,
	Just a quick note to other Solaris users that upgrading to
samba-3.0.5 seems to cause cron to core dump into /var/spool/cron/atjobs.
After investigating this for a few days, it appears to be due to the winbind
entry in /etc/nsswith.conf. Of course, once I restart the cron daemon, and
it picks up the new libnss_winbind and pam_winbind.so files, everything is
fine. However, this has left me wondering if there could be any other
daemons or processes that depend on these files that could be waiting to
core dump on me? 
	I should also note that once a server has been upgraded, I can cause
the core dump by downgrading to samba-3.0.2a as well. I'm guessing this has
something to due with the winbind changes in 3.0.4...	
	I've been able to reproduce this on Solaris 9 Generic 112233-11 and
Solaris 7 Generic 106541-29.

Thanks,
Nate

I recommend restarting all service daemons after replacing
/lib/libnss_winbind.so.  This is not solaris specific.
