Hi,
winbindd is irealy called 2 times, and that is normal,
once it is called to verify the user has a correct lpassword,
second to verify he has a vallid account.
and pam_mkhomedir is complaining about the space-caracter between the 
strings "skel=" and "/etc/skel/".
this should read "skel=/etc/skel/"
