[Samba] wbinfo -u works, getent passwd doesn't, not nsswitch.conf

[Henrik Zagerholm]

Hello,

I had a similar problem and the solution was to make sure that the  
libnss_winbind.so was linked correctly.

More details here => http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO- 
Collection/winbind.html

Cheers,
Henrik
