A few technical questions about winbindd I didn't find answers for:
 
does the nss_winbind library connect over a unix domain socket to the
winbindd running as part of the nmbd ? 
 
what is the communication, if any, between winbindd and nmbd, and why
does nmbd have to be running on a machine with winbind enabled for
passwd.
