What he is describing is a bug. It does not matter for what weird and obscure 
reason he wants two users.

It really looks like winbindd is useful thing but it's buggy at the moment.
I also observed two more bugs:

1. Inability to connect to shares on server which have winbindd running
2. Memory leaks (winbindd grows, was OOM killed on a box wit 32m ram+96m swap)

Who's maintaining it? I'd like to help with debugging.
