Re: Winbinds
From a text screen, type in "man winbindd". This is the title line from the man (manual) file for winbindd. This appears to be part of Samba. On my Fedora Core 8 machine this appears to have been installed by default (but I haven't turned it on, though I run a samba server).
winbindd - Name Service Switch daemon for resolving names from NT servers
At the bottom of the "man winbindds" is a SEE ALSO. Look at those other programs It looks like windbindd maps Windows security into Linux/Unix security and visa-versa. In the "/etc/init.d" directory, there is a winbind SYS5 script to start the daemon. The Core 8 scripts reads the samba config files (smb.conf).
Good luck
