Looks OK.

Also looks OK.

Could you verify with "getent passwd" and "getent group" if the winbind
nss link is really working. And with the getent commands you can also see
the exact names that winbind has given to the users and groups.

If you domain contains a large number of users and/or groups you could try
setting the winbind enumerate options to no. But I don't think that it
would help it this case.
