Ah, I see.

winbind_wbclient should be working. There's still a few calls in the vfs code 
that still relies on being able to talk to winbind via messaging, but for the 
auth code, winbind_wbclient was working for me with a samba 3 winbindd. I was 
not able to get winbind_samba3 to work. And I have not tested either against 
the samba4 winbind server. IIRC bug 6652 is stopping wbcAuthenticateUserEx 
from working in challenge/response mode.

Makes sense.
