Hi list.
I'm using Samba 3.05's winbind and nss_wins to authenticate against the company's Active Directory Windows Domain. It works perfectly while I'm on the company's network, but as soon as I'm diconnected (or connected to a foreign network) I can no longer log in. I've noticed that the unix pwdb doesn't even have my login information anymore, while in with previous versions I remember that loging in with winbind caused a passwordless pwdb entry to be created - or that could have been a configuration change: I'm not sure.
My laptop dual boots to Windows XP where I can login even when disconnected - I guess that windows somehow caches login credentials for use when the active directory server cannot be contacted. Is there some way to get the same behavior in Linux ?
