You may have already known this, but when I set this up I found that 
it was absolutely mandatory that the name of the libnss_winbind module 
be (exactly):

libnss_winbind.so.2

In my case, I have a symbolic link in /lib with this name pointing to 
where I have Samba installed (which is under /opt). After running 
ldconfig with this link in place, everything began working properly. 
Without the ".2" suffix on the link name (or on the library name), 
libnss_winbind never got called no matter what I did.
