[Samba] winbind and unix/nt login match use unix uid

This should be the default behaviour if you have configured the passwd line in nsswitch.conf as follows

passwd	files winbind

If a user exists in files with the same user name then Samba should use that first because of the order in
which files and winbind are listed. I think this will be case sensitive and may also be affected by the
domain prefix created by winbind if you are not using "winbind use default domain = yes" in smb.conf. I think
this will work best with winbind use default domain, but I guess should work wihout if you play around with
the user names.

thanks Andy.
