PAM is the least of your problems...

This is what the various bits of winbind require:

Winbindd requires unix domain sockets
	(includes wbinfo, and the challange-response authentication if
selected)

nss_winbind requires nsswitch - currently known functional on linux,
solaris, HPUX, IRIX

pam_winbind requires PAM

So, what does this mean?

If you want winbind to put users into your system getpwnam() it must be
nsswitch capable.  I don't think Unixware is.

You need PAM if you want PAM applications (typically /bin/login, sshd)
to use winbind for authentication.
