- is the winbind team willing to standardize the protocol, or at least
ensure backward compatibility in future versions?
There is a LGPL client library (well library is probably doing it more
justice than it deserves) called wb_client.c which is used in the
NSS modules that talk to winbindd. I would think that would be a
preferable way of talking to winbindd rather then rewriting code
to talk the winbindd protocol.
- is the winbind team willing to add more RPC calls
to the interface?
Not unless they are related to authentication or user/group enumeration.
"winebind" would be linked against Samba
libraries, and therefore be GPL
from the start.
Heh - cute name. (-:
