In case anyone wonders, updating components in "userland"
(or any of its derivatives like oi-build or whatever) requires
more than just getting the updated code to build.  Someone
has to test it (assuming you want the distro to keep working).

I fully admit I have not had much time to contribute to updating
Samba builds in OI, but I did make sure the updates I proposed
included only versions I knew had good test results.

If there is a problem with winbind or stuck smbd proceses
in specific versions, it would help to reference issue tracker
notes detailing the problem and exact versions affected.
