            Bug ID: 198064
           Summary: net/samba41: 4.1.17 seems to change necessary rc.conf
                    option for winbindd
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

I just updated from samba41-4.1.16 to samba41-4.1.17 and immediately noticed
that winbindd no longer loaded with the rest of the samba services.

One of the features with samba41 (compared to samba36, for example) is less
stuff needed in /etc/rc.conf (http://www.freshports.org/net/samba41). You just
need 'samba_server_enable="YES"' to enable the nmbd/smbd/winbindd services.

With 4.1.17, I now need to add 'winbindd_enable="YES"' again (just like I did
with net/samba36).

Some of the changes in the samba41-4.1.17 package were with how the
winbindd_enable option was used:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/samba41/files/samba_server.in?r1=379838&r2=379837&pathrev=379838

The original port says that the samba startup script "tries it's[sic] best to
guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd daemons have to be started"

Does the 4.1.17 startup script no longer determine I needed winbindd? Based off
of what? Was this change intentional? Could this be something that is just
impacting me somehow? 

I did not see any mention of changes with samba41 or winbindd in
/usr/ports/UPDATING.
