Yes, I really need winbind.  I'm trying to create a single sign-on system that will allow both Linux and Windows clients to authenticate to a samba domain controller.  It's my understanding that winbind is necessary for getting Linux clients to work with an NT-style domain controller.
Your system apparently does not incorporate Linux clients and so you don't need to set up winbind.

Do you really need winbind?

My LANs (Linux Samba server 3.0.3x, Windows clients) run without it.
