This is the 'winbind default domain' patch from Alexander Bokovoy
<a.bokovoy@sam-solutions.net>. The idea is the domain\username is rather harsh for unix systems - people don't expect to have to FTP, SSH and (in particular) e-mail with a username like that. This 'corrects' that - but is not without its own problems. As you can see from the changes to files like username.c and wb_client.c (smbd's winbind client code) a lot of assumptions are made in a lot of places about lp_winbind_seperator determining a users's status as a domain or local user. The main change I will shortly be making is to investigate and kill off winbind_initgroups() - as far as I know it was a workaround for an old bug in winbind itself (and a bug in RH 5.2) and should no longer be relevent. I am also going to move to using the 'winbind uid' and 'winbind gid' paramaters to determine a user/groups's 'local' status, rather than the presence of the seperator. As such, this functionality is recommended for servers providing unix services, but is currently less than optimal for windows clients. (TODO: remove all references to lp_winbind_seperator() and lp_winbind_use_default_domain() from smbd) Andrew Bartlett (This used to be commit 07a21fcd2311d2d9b430b99303e3532a8c1159e4)
