I think I wasn't clear enough. The problem is that winbind itself is not 
authenticating to the W2K server. Per default winbind uses empty
fields for user and password to connect to the W2K server. You need to
change this sometimes to get user and group lists.
Therefore one needs "wbinfo -A user%password" to store user and password in 
the secrets tdb.
