You need getent to work. This is really how Unix actually does the
authenticating - winbind is just the conduit to the M$ database.
Have you edited your /etc/nsswitch.conf correctly? You need:
passwd: files winbind nisplus
shadow: files winbind nisplus
group: files winbind nisplus
This will make Unix call winbind when looking for users/groups (this the
mechanism that getent passwd/group runs).

Subject: [Samba] getent not working correctly
Hello again!
Ok, I've gotten wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g working great
Now I try to run getent passwd and getent group I get my local users/groups
but not the ones on the Windows 2k Server Domain Controller and it just
hangs after listing the local ones.
I also tried authenticating a user and it worked I'm assuming
wbinfo -a DOMAIN+ingless@DOMAIN%"password" (The usernames here have
user@domain due to some M$ Active-Directory thing...) plaintext password
authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication failed
Could not authenticate user DOMAIN+ingless@DOMAIN%"password" with
challenge/response
Do I need getent working, or is it safe to assume everything is functioning
normally now?
Thanks!
