Well, true, BUT - winbind eventually use Kerberos anyway to authenticate 
the user with AD, right? So samba should be able to configure the 
Kerberos library (possibly at the "net ads join" stage).
Moreover, if you want to use common things like single sign on via ssh, 
pam_winbind won't help you a single bit - with a working Kerberos 
library and valid TGT ticket (provided by pam_krb5) this is no problem 
at all.....
