1.) Yes you definitly need the winbind/nss stuff, as it is the part of samba that does what you want: ask an ADS server to verify the credentials a user supplys when logging in to samba.
2.) no, it is not sufficient. But you need a working Kerberos library
to get winbind to work.

Hi,
We are in the process of evaluating the possibility of porting Samba 3.0.4 to VxWorks.
Features wise we don't see any problems. But our main concern is on the security. Since we do not have the concept of Users and Groups on VxWorks, we cannot have any authentications as such.
So, the other possibility is to pass on the authentication to another Server on the network, typically a AD server (since Samba is required to be a part of a domain)
All the documents that we have seen so far, regarding the ADS membership, talk about winbind and NSS.
My question here is,
1. Do I really need winbind or NSS since I am not maintaining any Users or Groups locally ?!
2. Is it sufficient if I get the Kerberos and sasl support to work on VxWorks ?!
