Some other tool was used to mangle the smb.conf file and that tool had the courtesy \
of writing some comments so you know it was modified.  The fact that another tool is \
changing /etc/nsswitch.conf is mentioned in passing if you read the fine manual, but \
it does not offer specifics.  I am making my way through the smb.conf file that I \
inherited so that it no longer has duplicates parameters, conflicting entries, \
settings below the shares that should really be up in the global section, etc.

I added that comment to the wiki, but I couldn't remember just why, so I looked at \
the wiki history and traced it to this series of posts on the samba mailing list:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2016-April/198934.ht \
ml__;!!JaK5sLE!RDnMd693KwYSlCdqpNAsUHjBwD-eRnsA7uj7NGahX8ncREejxapJ8AYglpv5a4jR06Yt2SkoRMpi122mFJefbJUiNwI$ \

At that time adding 'winbind' to the shadow line in /etc/nsswitch.conf was causing \
panics and everything worked without it. It may be different now, the code has \
changed over time, so it may now work (for a given take on 'work', Samba does not use \
'shadow'), but why add something that is not required.

Would you like to post the smb.conf you use, if they are adding that useless \
modification, they are also probably adding other unneeded things.
