The other thing we noticed while testing in this area is that the winbind 
parent will follow the log file parm in the smb.conf, but the children do 
not.

If you set log file = /tmp/log.%m, log.winbind will go into /tmp and (on a 
SLES build) the wb-files are still in /var/log/samba. 

If you use winbindd -l /tmp, lsof shows all the processes are writing to 
/tmp/log.winbindd. There are no wb-files.
