+Internal Winbind passdb changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
+local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
+reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
+using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.

-Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
-untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
-domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
-using that DOMAIN\user name.  This differed from how a Windows member server
-would behave.  Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name.  In
-the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user.  In the case
-where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
-Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
-with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
+   log writeable files on exit        New             No
+   ctdb locktime warn threshold               New             0

+   smb2 max write                     New             1048576
+   smb2 max trans                     New             1048576

+   async smb echo handler             New             No
 
-While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
-on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification.  A new
-parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
-behavior.
