I'm trying to get my machine to logon to My NT Domain. I've got winbind running. But the problem is that having joined the domain, I try to get the group of the domain but it says that there's an error with the domain. What does this mean?

It could be any number of things. First off, you do not need winbindd to login to the domain. You can use something like pam_smb or pam_ntdom. The only thing you need winbindd for is to use NT users/groups as if they were local UNIX users/groups.

If you need this functionality, and it's not working, try starting winbindd with debug level 10 (winbindd -d 10) and look at the log file. If you can't figure out the problem from that, try asking on the Samba or Samba-Technical list.
