As long as the set of windows users == set of NIS users,
that will work as well.

New behavior introduced in 3.0.6 is that you can start
winbindd without a uid or gid range and winbindd will
only to the name/SID mapping.  All users (in your own domain
and in all trusted domains must have an existings UNIX account).
