Is winbind necessary for Windows machines to connect to this server via SMB as this machine is also a samba server, or does winbind just allow *nix machines to join a windows domain? I've tried googling but it's not immediately obvious to me, pro'lly because I'm knackered!
Thanks for the help :-)
No you only need it if you are going to authenticate Domain Users on your *nix machine (so for example if the *nix machine is going to be a file server in a Windows Domain)
