And there is also the case where winbindd is not even running...

While I agree that the right fix for a whole set of problems
is on different layer, I think this patch does not make the
situation worse: Its only change is that on a member server
the netbios host name (as domain prefix) is not mapped to the
domain. This is correct and the change is imho OK at this level.
A band aid but still OK. Let's fix the bigger picture later on
