Comment 16 for bug 282287

I think you might be on to something there. I am trying the likewise-open package to authenticate my Ubuntu with our AD domain. (It doesn't work very well, but I don't have time to remove it right now.)

The name server is a bog standard Windows SBS 2003 R2. I don't think it's providing WINS (although I could be wrong there, I'm not particularly up on WINS). We're definitely not using IPv6 though.

Some files that might be of interest:
arichardson@vostro-1:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain .
search .
nameserver 10.22.5.2
arichardson@vostro-1:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files winbind lwidentity
shadow: files
group: files winbind lwidentity
hosts: files wins dns
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis

Hmm, that nsswitch.conf file doesn't look right... might explain why lwo gives me double password prompts. (In my defence, lwo itself sets up the file.)
