Do you have a working LDAP client configuration? Winbind *needs* a
working LDAP configuration in order to contact the AD server; absent
that, you'll get 60-90-second delays while the LDAP queries timeout.
(The timeouts happen with anything that queries the passwd/group
database, not just ls. You just notice it with ls -l because ls has to
query both passwd and group to map uid/gid to names.)
Take winbind out of your nsswitch.conf so you can use your system, get
LDAP queries working to where you can fetch user information from your
AD server, then reconfigure Winbind and put it back in.
