[SOLVED] Re: very slow logoff for clients authenticating via winbind

[john]

Hi all,

Just a follow up in case anyone else runs into this problem. I figured
out that I had somehow goofed up the permissions on my
/etc/nsswitch.conf file. It was set to 640. I changed it to be 644 and
my log-offs worked promptly as expected.
