Winbind, security = domain, and Active Directory
================================================
-Recent security updates for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003
-have changed the fashion in which user and group list can
-be obtained from domain controllers. In short, the rpc
-mechanisms used by "security = domain" to retrieve users
-and groups is not compatible with these changes. The
-"security = ads" configuration is not affected by the
-Windows protocol changes.

-Samba developers are actively working to correct this
-problem in the version 3.0.21. Administrators who are
-unable to migrate to "security = ads", can define credentials
-to be used by winbindd when enumerating users by executing
-"wbinfo --set-auth-user='DOMAIN\username%password'"
