I've managed to avoid this message using:
"net rpc getsid", but then I get the following error when I try to
authenticate
through mod_auth_winbind:

(this is the output of winbindd)
...
process_request: request fn AUTH_CRAP
[11189]: pam auth crap domain: <mydomain> user: <myuser>
is_myname("<mydomain>") returns 0
secrets_fetch failed!
get_trust_pw: could not fetch trust account password for domain <mydomain>
could not open handle to NETLOGON pipe (error:
NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO)
....
