Winbind is used if you want to authentificate unix account with a other PDC.
I don't know if on the same server you can use winbind for unix auth and ldap for Samba ...


Loc Nguyen a �crit :

Is this means we can use winbind rather setting up nss,PAM with ldap to authenticate ? I'll try this to understand more Thanks!

The howto from idealx explain a PDC with "unix auth" in LDAP.
Your Linux (RedHat I suppose) use nss_ldap and nsswitch.conf for find
UNIX user and groups.

Samba don't have a support for NUA, if the linux layer don't find user,
samba don't work.
I don't know howto set unix user is passwd and samba part in LDAP.
