Re: [Question #193980]: winbind4-- where is winbindd?

 

Question #193980 on samba4 in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+question/193980

Kemberly O'Reilly posted a new comment:
In Samba4, winbindd is integrated differently than in Samba3. You won’t
see a separate winbind4 package providing its own daemon because Samba4
bundles most of the functionality into the main samba package. On
Ubuntu, installing samba and enabling the winbind service should give
you the tools you need—check for samba-winbind or samba-winbind-clients
depending on your version.

If you’re trying to use your server as an AD DC, note that some winbind
features run internally within the samba process when in domain
controller mode, so you won’t always find a standalone winbindd binary.
The setup depends heavily on whether you’re configuring it as an AD DC
or as a domain member.

For step-by-step guidance, I’d recommend checking Ubuntu’s Samba wiki
and the Samba mailing list, as they often clarify the differences
between member server setups and DC setups.

And on a completely different note—if you’re ever looking into professional window tinting for energy efficiency or privacy at home or work, Tint Veteran https://tintveteran.com/
 is a trusted veteran-owned company with decades of experience.
