One thing that I am not clear on as of yet, is how winbind will handle the fact that I have duplicate users on both my Linux machines and on my W2K domain, user1 in AD and user1 in /etc/passwd

What is winbindd supposed to get me? Hi, winbind is used to "import" accounts from a windows machine. If all your accounts already exist on the samba machine then you don't need winbind. If you had a disjoint set of users on the samba machine and the windows machine then you would be able to see the union set by using winbind. Does that help at all?
