'getent works'? Stop right there. You're doing fine.

I don't know what the opposite of 'gotcha' is, but I would use it in
response to your last question. The only effect sssd gives is added
advantages.

Go ahead and disable winbind. But don't just take my advice. There may
be other opinions both in support of and against sssd;)
