[Samba] interest of winbind

Hello

I plan to make unification between unix and windows accounts
I have configured a samba pdc with local linux accounts
I will create ldap accounts

So my understanding of the interest of windbind in my situation is the 
following:
- it will avoid me to create an account for linux and for windows in the 
ldap server and to synchronise passwd by only creating one windows 
account in the ldap and an idmap table.
Thus I will have to configure pam and libnss to use windbind on each client.

Am I right ?

Can someone give me a short advice

Thanks
