first: winbindd offers the ability to authenticate users and map sids to
uid/gids
if you have a working ldap tree and serve (nss) your clients (members,
dcs, clients) with ldap (uid, gid, sid) you don't need winbindd. all
information is in the ldap tree and authentication is done bei smbd if
you connect to a smb/cifs share (passdb backend).
if you want to login on the commandline with your dc-password you need
winbindd (pam_winbind) or you can use unixPassword in ldap (pam_ldap).
if you work with foreign domains and "non-domain" members you must use
idmap...more can be found in the documentation.
hope that helps
