Have you copied libnss_winbind.so from the nsswitch directory to /lib ?
Also make a soft link to /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 and then run 'ldconfig -v
| grep winbind' to make sure the libraries are picked up.
Restart winbind and watch your log.winbindd for messages as you run getent.

Here is my /etc/nsswitch.conf (abbreviated):
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files winbind
group: files winbind
I first start smbd -D and nmbd -D
Then I start winbindd
Then I join the domain (smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r DOMAINCONTROLLER -U
Administrator) It works
Then I check my Secret (wbinfo -t) and it's good
Then I list users and groups (wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g) and it works fine
However I still cannot get "getent passwd" and "getent group" working.
I am 100% stumped

Did you reboot after starting winbindd?
Either do that, or try looking for the nameserver cache daemons (nscd), and
kill them all. (Don't worry, they'll restart.)
I had the same problem with nss_ldap, and it drove me NUTS till I found out
about the cache mechanism.
