samba - May 2017 - Specify Custom Winbindd pipe for ntlm_auth

Hi ,

Is it possible to specify the directory location of the Winbind pipe for
ntlm_auth , it looks like it ignores the winbindd socket directory option
from smb.conf when run with the --configfile option ?

Any chance I can get ntlm_auth to look at a specific winbind pipe.

Thanks in advance.

Many Thanks
Arnab

I have scouring through the source code of ntlm auth cannot find any
reference to where it obtains the socket directory ...

I am happy to edit the source and re-compile ntlm auth as that will allow
me to achieve what I want..

TIA
Arnab
