libnss-winbind for Multiple Winbinds on One Ubuntu Installation.

[Andrew van Tilburg]

Dear libnss_winbind maintainers.

I am using Ubuntu 15.10 and Samba 4.1.17-Ubuntu with libnss-winbind.

I have a question re libnss_winbind, I was wondering if you could help me. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I want to run two 'instances' of smbd and winbindd on the same machine so that I can authenticate users from two separate Windows AD domains and share a common set of files out to both. I cannot trust the two domains to each other as one is SBS.

I am doing this by making symbolic links to the smbd, nmbd and winbindd daemons and using separate config files for each. One of the smb.conf directives is winbindd:socket directory = . To run two winbindd daemons at once, a separate socket directory must be configured for each. When I do this winbind stops working. I think this is because  nss switch must be told about the two new winbind services with different socket locations.


 *   How can I create a new nss switch service which references the two new winbind services with the new socket directories ?

Regards.
