Subject: Re: WinBind in a new version of Samba
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 19:30:07 +0100	[thread overview]

Hi, Janina!
that was my mistake: I missed the second d in "winbindd". I read the paper
on WinBind, but not the actual doc.
Yes, I definitely understand what I am doing. I am setting up a Linux server
for the WinXp-based network. It used to be a hastle to create an account for
every XP user on a Linux machine. Now with WinBind, it became much easier.
Thanks for the advice.
Vic
