[Samba] RE: Smbd 3.0.13 dies when smb.conf has winbind separator = \

It occurred to me that "\" character is also a linux line continuation
character. This realization spawned some experiments:
These variations:
Domain separator =\
Domain separator= \
Domain separator=\
Domain separator = "\"
All gave the same result:
[root at infra-fw lib]# /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm
Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[gregshare]"
Loaded services file OK.
ERROR: the 'winbind separator' parameter must be a single character.

But I noticed there was a blank line after this line. So I tried this:
Domain separator = \
#
That got rid of the syntax error - but the testparm dump said the
separator character was a # (hash sign). It needs to be a backslash.
All kinds of other tests yielded similar goofy results. In my O'reilly
book, "Using Samba", page 317 says the backslash character is the
default, so maybe I don't need that line anyway. So I got rid of it.
This means example 22.5.1 in section 22.5.3.3 of Samba-HOWTO-Collection
must be wrong.
What's really making me nuts is, why won't smbd call winbindd to go look
up stuff in my AD domain?
I can run ntlm_auth by hand. If I pass it a valid domain\username
password, it returns OK. And if I pass it a bogus one, it returns ERR.
When I run
/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u
it returns all my AD usernames like this: DOMAIN\user.
So it looks like winbindd is working. But when I run getent passwd, all
that comes back are the entries from my local passwd file. If I'm
reading the documentation correctly, it's supposed to also return my A/D
entries, right? (nsswitch.conf and libraries noted below.) So winbindd
seems to be doing its job, smbd is just not calling it. Could this be
related to the backslash character issue or is this a dead-end?
Here is some more strange behavior, trying to follow the instructions in
22.5.3.1 of the HOWTO-Collection:
[root at infra-fw lib]#
[root at infra-fw lib]# ln --symbolic libnss_windbind.so
libnss_winbind.so.2
[root at infra-fw lib]# ls -la /lib | grep winbind
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 305094 Apr 2 20:21
libnss_winbind.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Apr 3 00:45
libnss_winbind.so.2 -> libnss_windbind.so
[root at infra-fw lib]#
[root at infra-fw lib]# /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep winbind
/sbin/ldconfig: Cannot stat /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2: No such file or
directory
libnss_winbind.so -> libnss_winbind.so
[root at infra-fw lib]#
[root at infra-fw lib]# ls -la /lib | grep winbind
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 305094 Apr 2 20:21
libnss_winbind.so
[root at infra-fw lib]#
Note that ldconfig got rid of that symbolic link the HOWTO suggested
putting in. I have to believe the messed up linkage between smbd and
winbindd are related somehow to this.
Here is the dump of my current smb.conf, without all the ugly comments:
