Ok, "auth_wbc" looks a hell lot like "auth_winbind". Looking
at the code the only difference between both is the fact
that the current onefs module handles plain text. Is that
really used? Don't we handle plain text at a higher level??
If yes, why not use auth_winbind without fallback?

And, thinking about it a bit more -- what problem do you
want to solve by passdb_onefs (or passdb_wbc...)? Passdb is
supposed to be the local sam of the system. Why do you want
to redirect this to winbind at all?
