Mmm... interesting...

Effectively winbind have, by default, 'user and group enumeration' disabled
by default, eg, as yoiu sayed, a 'getenet passwd' return nothing (apart
/etc/passwd) but 'getent passwd gaio' return... me. ;)

But still is strange: if this is the case, i will have users delivery
trouble *ever*, and not only in domain controller connection trouble.


So, still seeking feedback...
