OK, do you have 'libnss_winbind.so' on your system ? it would normal be 
in /usr/lib or similar. If you have, then it probably just needs 
'winbind' adding to the 'passwd' & 'groups' lines in /etc/nsswitch.conf. 
If you cannot find it then it needs to be installed, anybody know which 
Sernet package provides it ??
