[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#652679: Winbind authentication and wbinfo -i user no longer work after uprading to 3.6.1

[Dale Schroeder]

Robert,

Same problem here, and I have not seen anyone mention this on the Samba 
list.  Systems are fully updated and testparm does not return any 
errors.  idmap backend is rid notated in the new format.  All deprecated 
parameters have been removed.

On my systems, I have found that full functionality returns after a 
reboot; however, if samba/winbind processes are restarted for any 
reason, AD authentication again no longer works.  As with you, wbinfo 
-u/-g continues to work, as does getent passwd.  getent group only 
returns linux groups.  Another reboot will return winbind once again to 
full functionality.

Even at log level 10, error messages have been hard to find among the 
many winbind logs.  At the time of failure, the one I consistently find 
is in syslog:
     winbindd[4186]:  ads_ranged_search failed with: Time limit exceeded.
