Yes, I really need winbind. I'm trying to create a single sign-on system that will allow both Linux and Windows clients to authenticate to a samba domain controller. It's my understanding that winbind is necessary for getting Linux clients to work with an NT-style domain controller. Your system apparently does not incorporate Linux clients and so you don't need to set up winbind.
A more important question is why should you turn off winbind? I've receive suggestions to turn it off, but why shouldn't it work? Is it broken in Samba (some version)?
