ps -eaf | grep winbind
root     20085     1  0 14:03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/winbindd -D
root     20086 20085  0 14:03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/winbindd -D
root     20089 20085  0 14:03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/winbindd -D

Cleared /var/log/samba/winbindd.log just before issueing
command getcifsacl which could not resolve the group SID

winbindd.log attached.
