For hosts that should retrieve domain user and group information via Winbindd, two symbolic links need to exist in one of the operating systems library paths. It's not recommended to copy the file to the library path, because after a Samba update it will always have to be replaced.
To enable hosts to receive user and group information from a domain using Winbind, you must create two symbolic links in a directory of the operating system's library path.

Introduction

To enable hosts to receive user and group information from a domain using Winbind, you must create two symbolic links in a directory of the operating system's library path.



Determining the Platform

To determine the operating system's platform:

# uname -i



Locating the libnss_winbind.so.2 library

The libnss_winbind.so.2 library is installed in the Samba library directory set at compile time. To locate the folder:

# smbd -B | grep LIBDIR
   LIBDIR: /usr/local/samba/lib/

Link the library from this directory in your operating system's library directory.
