Winbind has had the ability to cache credentials at login time for ages. The only user of this facility so far has been ntlm_auth. It would be good if all the client utils shipped by default and libsmbclient would make use of this facility as well.
Created attachment 5221 [details] Patch Patchset that implements this, already in master.
Too much trouble on the day of release. It's in master, 3.6 will come some day. Volker
Re-opening for inclusion into rc2.
Pushed. Will be included in Samba 3.5.0rc2. Closing out bug report. Thanks!
