As shown below: %D and %U are not substituted while creatng a local account with wbinfo. mango:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./wbinfo -c wbinfou0 New RID is 9000 mango:/usr/local/samba/bin# getent passwd mango\\wbinfou0 wbinfou0:x:4000:4000:wbinfou0:/home/%D/%U:/bin/bash I checked this on Samba 3.0.7 and Samba 3.0.10... It seemed that no one uses local accounts... "template homedir" is not set.
winbind local accounts are going to die.
