[Samba] Documentation discrepancies

In my continued attempt to get winbindd working on a simple domain, I
decided to go through the documentation in more detail, searching for
some possibly hidden clues. In doing so I came across some
instruction that left me a little confused...
Fast Start: Cure for Impatience - Domain Member Server
http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/FastStart.html#id2512775
The first point is in the example smb.conf you're instructed to use
'winbind use default domain = yes' in the global parameters. Later
on, in step 8, the output from wbinfo -u shows the DOMAIN+user
output. Having recently learned from my experiences with this, this
output is not correct. If 'winbind use default domain = yes' is
declared, then you won't see the DOMAIN preceeding the username.
You'll just get a list of usernames. This originally confused me
before Jerry explained it to me.
The next issue is with step 6, where you're asked to configure
/etc/nsswitch.conf. Here, the example entries are slightly different
than in section 20 of the main documentation - Winbind: Use of Domain
Accounts.
Step 6 for the impatient suggests:
passwd: files winbind
group: files winbind
hosts: files dns winbind
While the instructions in Section 20 suggests:
http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/winbind.html#id2574730
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files
group: files winbind
Is this a potential problem? Which is correct?
