Bug Description

Binary package hint: likewise-open

I had this problem since version 5 (stable version 5.3 manually installed, 5.4 from lucid repositories, 5.4 from ppa) and now also with the recent version 6.

I can reproduce the problem easily: Likewise open works without problem until i install wine : wine install also winbind as dependency.

When i reboot, then i cannot login with local users, but only with AD users.
So i suppose likewise and winbind conflicts somehow.

If i try then to purge winbind from the system, the situation does not change.

If there is some more log i can add, just let me know.
Regards

IMPACT STATEMENT
================
Installation of windbind disruptions system configuration for likewise-open, causing it to stop functioning. De-installation and purging windbind does not the situation.

TEST CASE
=========

1. Install and configure likewise-open
2. test likewise-open successfully
3. install winbind
4. re-test likewise-open => Fails.

Winbind may be modifying /etc/nsswitch.conf or some of the pam stack (common-auth) and messing with it. When you remove winbind, it doesn't fix what it tweaked in common-auth most likely.

The question is: is there a good reason why likewise-open conflict with winbind? Scott Salley's branch fix this bug, so I presume not. But still, the question is worth investigating.

Going further: is there a good reason why wine recommend winbind at all? I just don't see the connection. Merely using Windows software on Ubuntu does not mean you want to participate in a Windows domain. This is being discussed in bug #302148, hopefully it can get fixed there.

likewise-open and winbind both edit configuration files that are present on the system. Most of these files have no defined method for automatically updating them and the algorithms that likewise-open and winbind use come into conflict. The problem is resolved in my branch by having the likewise-open package declare a conflict with the winbind package so that users don't try to use both.
