No you only need it if you are going to authenticate Domain Users on your *nix machine (so for example if the *nix machine is going to be a file server in a Windows Domain)
Ah, well it is going to be a file server in a Windows domain, but the only server, and it controls the domain via Samba.
So I've uninstalled Winbind. My login problems went. My Windows machines can still connect and authenticate to the server.
Ahh the only problem with that might be I am not sure if winbind is involved if Samba is providing the domain authentication services and Windows users want to change their domain password.
It's been a while since I did this but I am sure winbindd plays some part in that.
