I meant to talk to you earlier about this.  It is quite OK to have a
system that does not use winbind, and you can still use all the
authentication mechanisms.  

You can set 'security=domain' and even 'security=ads' without winbind. 

You can also run winbindd (which helps security=domain's performance)
without winbind in nsswitch.
