[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#1012240: winbind does not return AD groups a user is a member of AT ALL, or only one

[Matt Grant]

Hi Michael!

OK, see what you are thinking.

Was planning to do just what you did.  Bins into samba-common-bin, libs
into samba-libs.

My bad about samba-dcerpcd.8 man page.

Maybe ksmbd support should be started with all needed bins in
samba-common-bin, and systemctl disabled ksmbd/samba-dcercpd service
file(s) in samba package or elsewhere.  Some smb.conf settings are
specially needed for ksmbd apparently (samba-dcerpcd.8 manpage)

Regards,

Matt Grant
