Description David Sonenberg 2005-11-11 08:23:59 UTC

Rather than using /etc/conf.d/samba to specify if winbind an init.d script should be created.  This 
would allow winbind to be restarted seperately from smbd and nmbd.  I have run into situations where 
the winbind daemon is hung but I can't restart samba because a user is transfering files.  I have spoken 
to John Terpstra on the phone regarding this and he agree it would be a good idea.

Solved with the latest version bump.
It is now possible to symlink /etc/init.d/samba.winbind -> /etc/init.d/samba and then do "/etc/init.d/samba.winbind" which will start winbind seperately.
