Package: winbind Version: 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4 Severity: wishlist As I understand, winbind is a package to help integrate a machine into a Windows network. Documentation in "Integrating MS Windows Networks with Samba" http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/integrate-ms-networks.html is a good resource for novice like me. It seems we need to add wins to nsswitch.conf.
Then I realize, libnss-mdns does put its entries into nsswitch.conf via package script. I thought it may be nice for winbind to do the similar. $ grep nsswitch.conf * ... libnss-mdns.postinst:# try to insert mdns entries to the "hosts" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to libnss-mdns.postinst: # abort if /etc/nsswitch.conf does not exist libnss-mdns.postinst: if ! [ -e /etc/nsswitch.conf ]; then libnss-mdns.postinst: log "Could not find /etc/nsswitch.conf." libnss-mdns.postinst: ' /etc/nsswitch.conf libnss-mdns.postinst: # nsswitch.conf already contains mdns entries) libnss-mdns.postinst: if [ -e /etc/nsswitch.conf ]; then libnss-mdns.postinst: /etc/nsswitch.conf libnss-mdns.postinst: /etc/nsswitch.conf libnss-mdns.postrm: # abort if /etc/nsswitch.conf does not exist libnss-mdns.postrm: if ! [ -e /etc/nsswitch.conf ]; then libnss-mdns.postrm: log "Could not find /etc/nsswitch.conf." libnss-mdns.postrm: ' /etc/nsswitch.conf Regards, Osamu -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages winbind depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 ii libcomerr2 1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libk5crypto3 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libkrb5-3 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.25-4+b1 ii libpopt0 1.16-1 ii libtalloc2 2.0.7-3 ii libtdb1 1.2.9-4+b1 ii libwbclient0 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4 ii lsb-base 3.2-28 ii samba-common 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages winbind recommends: ii libpam-winbind 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4 winbind suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
