Hi Marc

We also use nslcd. Great piece of kit.

It's strange that winbind does not start for you when you call the samba 
binary. Here, it starts whether you like it or not. Agreed, smbd shows 
in a d3 log but winbind doesn't figure. It is however fully functional, 
as far as Samba4 winbind allows.
