The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
files to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients, as well as
run as a domain controller for Active Directory.
.
These packages contain snapshot versions of Samba 4, the next-generation
version of Samba.
.
This package provides the winbindd daemon, which provides a
service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present
in most modern C libraries (like the GNU C Library - glibc.). Please
note that the functionality of this version of winbind is behind on that
of the winbind package.
.
The service provided by winbindd is called `winbind' and
can be used to resolve user and group information from a
Windows NT server. The service can also provide authentication
services via an associated PAM module.
