OPTIONS

-F

If specified, this parameter causes + the main winbindd process to not daemonize, + i.e. double-fork and disassociate with the terminal. + Child processes are still created as normal to service + each connection request, but the main process does not + exit. This operation mode is suitable for running + winbindd under process supervisors such + as supervise and svscan + from Daniel J. Bernstein's daemontools + package, or the AIX process monitor. +

-S

If specified, this parameter causes + winbindd to log to standard output rather + than a file.

-d debuglevel

winbindd is required.

is required. + winbindd also logs to standard output, + as if the -S parameter had been given. +

-n

Disable caching. This means winbindd will + always have to wait for a response from the domain controller + before it can respond to a client and this thus makes things + slower. The results will however be more accurate, since + results from the cache might not be up-to-date. This + might also temporarily hang winbindd if the DC doesn't respond. +

-B

Dual daemon mode. This means winbindd will run + as 2 threads. The first will answer all requests from the cache, + thus making responses to clients faster. The other will + update the cache for the query that the first has just responded. + Advantage of this is that responses are accurate and fast. +

-s|--conf=smb.conf

Specifies the location of the all-important + smb.conf file.
