[Bug 612958] Re: Please convert winbind init script to upstart.

[Betibeteka Beranduetxea]

Yeah, I will be happy if something like this makes in precise.

On my systems winbind tries to connect before there is any connection
up. This is specially true if connection is via wlan, even if network
manager's sets connection as system-wide and available to all users.

On a 11.04 system, winbind puts a message in /var/log/syslog 4 seconds
before wlan0 is connected. Solved by adding "sleep 10" at first lines of
/etc/init.d/winbind

And I think the long delay before you can log in is caused by gdm's
starting too fast, as this blog explains:
http://davidmburke.com/2010/09/16/linux-and-active-directory-round-2/

Both problems will be solved by making winbind an upstart job, and I
think it's a shame that  it still remains untouched.

It's true that ligthdm.conf has solved this problem at least in 12.04,
(I have not tested 11.10) but still we need some way to make sure there
is a network connection up and running before winbind's start.
