okay, im far from a pam expert, but i don't see any mention of winbind there?

It's my weekend at the moment so i can't get to my test box at work to
show you my pam module using winbind, but maybe you should check out this
page on my website, it's using ldap try and use this and replace any
mention of ldap with winbind

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/35/9/

or

i have a how-to for authenticating against Active directories using LDAP

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/34/9/

check it out, i'm sure that that wont need a local users as well, i'll be
back at work on monday and can probably help you more, but give those two
a go, see if anything comes from them
