If you have winbindd problems, post bug reports not FUD. Thanks, Jeremy.

Once I twigged what I was doing wrong and set up winbind correctly, it all fell into place and I stopped using sssd, for normal use you do not need it, the same goes for nslcd. Rowland

If you have > winbindd problems, post bug reportsI did, months ago, the last bug report is still unanswered by the Samba team and I can still reproducibly crash winbindd (and all depending services) trivially. Hence, no, it's not "extremely reliable", and "full support" is not reassuring. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / Best Regards, Sven Schwedas Systemadministrator TAO Beratungs- und Management GmbH | Lendplatz 45 | A - 8020 Graz Mail/XMPP: sven.schwedas at tao.at | +43 (0)680 301 7167 http://software.tao.at -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is this something that only happens on your system, or is it reproducible elsewhere ?
