Yes it is, but writing patches for Samba over two years ago doesn't make me an expert on it. As I said before, I would strace ntlm_auth and winbindd, then you can easily tell what pipes they are opening. I think if you build Samba with a different --prefix then it will start to look at different locations for these files. Otherwise there might be a configuration option to set the pipe location. Building and then stracing it will tell you what it's doing, if you can't figure it out from the source. I found the Samba guys are all friendly, I'm sure they can advise on this. But I imagine you might get the answer "don't do that". Otherwise do it the normal way and proxy to another machine. It will be a lot more standard and other people will find it easier to understand what you've done. And it will just work. -- Matthew
