Two things seemed to affect this for us:
1. Set the winbind use default domain parameter to yes
winbind use default domain = yes
2. The winbind separator
The docs show / and + as sample separators,
but + is special in NIS, and / is special in
UNIX. I used _ (underscore) as my winbind separator.
Buchan Milne passed on the use default domain tip (thanks!).
I found a NIS Reference buried in the smb.conf man page.
It only refers to the NIS group definitions, but the light went
off that NIS was probably being adversely affected by the
"+" winbind separator we were using. Changing it
to underscore fixed us up. Let me know if this does the job
for you as well.

How exactly do you do that? I've only managed to get winbind users when
using winbind. smbd would refer to the users in winbind regardless of the
users existance in other NSS databases.
