Hi, I am having problems with winbindd on a BDC but I am not sure where the problem lies. If I run `winbindd -n -i` on the BDC and watch the output from pdbdeit -Lv I see: winbindd version 3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1 started.

Can anyone offer any pointers as to what the problem might be or where a means that might help me track it down? Thanks, Dermot.
