[Samba] getent passwd & wbinfo -u not working

[Christoph Scheeder]

Hi,
remeber, after compiling and installing samba you have to copy the files
nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so and nsswitch/libnss_wins.so to /lib/ and

ln -sf /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2
ln -sf /lib/libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2

then copy nsswitch/pam_winbind.so to /lib/security/ and finally do a
ldconfig.

you'll have to do these steps manually after each compile and install,
as these files are omitted by "make install"
