While winbind should work fine under FreeBSD, the bit you probably want
(that actually gives you the functionality) is winbind_nss and relies on
FreeBSD supporting nsswitch.

My understanding is that currently it doesn't.  They have a
nsswitch.conf, but you can only select from the libc backends - not an
aribitary .so.

So, you are free to use it for PAM, NTLM-and-apache/squid, but not for
the normal 'get my unix users' stuff.
