My nsswitch.conf looks like this (this is Solaris 8, btw):
passwd: files winbind [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return]
group: files winbind [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return]
Actually, only the TRYAGAIN=return was necessary to prevent the "hang till
timeout" in my scenario, but I put in the rest just in case.
