In order to make logins seamless across our network I **MUST** use NT logins which means I need winbind functionality to work. Winbind requires nsswitch to work properly and I know that FreeBSD does not support it currently but why is this not a top priority at the moment? I would much rather have nsswitch working than some of the minor features introduced in 5.0. At least, this is my humble opinion and I might be asking too much. Is there a dedicated resource working on nsswitch at the current moment or is the project dead? Thanks!
