Samba 2.0.21rc1 changelog: --cut-- * Re-add the netsamlogon_cache tdb and ensure that user entries are updated from the PAC data during kerberos ticket validation. --cut-- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba with winbindd 2. 3. Additional info:
