[OmniOS-discuss] Silly very-long-term question

[Nathan R Huff]

You can run a 64bit version of the winbind daemon.  You do however need
the 32bit nss_winbind library installed.  You may also need the 32bit
pam library.  I run all 64bit samba daemons and the 32bit binaries talk
to them just fine as long as the 32 bit libraries are installed.

That being said I would be totally fine with everything going 64bit so I
wouldn't need to build both the 32 and 64 bit versions.

> This brings up an interesting issue I've ran into. I've found that compiling and using samba with winbind on OmniOS must be 32 bit in order for winbind to resolve user ids. After some digging it appears some of the core system utilities are only available as 32 bit versions and can't look up ids with 64 bit libs. For instance the built in "id" command is 32-bit only, hence, can't use a 64 bit version of winbind :(
