[Samba] wbinfo --ping can't find winbind?

[James Chase]

I have compiled 3.5.12 from source on CentOS 5.7. I am using krb5.conf,
smb.conf files that have worked with other 3.5.x installs of Samba (at
least in terms of wbinfo working) but now I am not able to get any data
from winbind. The server is running and the logs don't report any
errors. I had done several 'make uninstall' while compiling/recompiling
with different options. Could the problem somehow be related?

[root@sambatest samba]# bin/wbinfo -u
Error looking up domain users

[root@sambatest samba]# bin/wbinfo --ping
Ping to winbindd failed
could not ping winbindd!

[root@sambatest samba]# ps -ef | grep winbin
root 3743 1 0 10:19 ? 00:00:00 sbin/winbindd -D
root 3744 3743 0 10:19 ? 00:00:00 sbin/winbindd -D

After compiling, libnss_winbind.so needs to be copied to
/lib/libnss_winbind.so and linked to /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2
(i.e. cp ../nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so /lib/ && \
ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2)

You may have to copy other library files as well

I asume that wbinfo tries another pidfile then winbindd generates :-( .
