I still don't know how Samba could act as that "Windows NT" server that 
the documentation references with regards to using winbindd. I mean, my 
NAS has users, but how would Samba export them? I am currently using 
LDAP for it. And LDAP (nss_ldap.so) doesn't really cache I think.

If I could export the local users Samba knows about directly, then maybe 
that would work better. But then, I would need IDmapping for that.

LDAP is a bit of an alien thing for me. It also doesn't integrate that 
amazingly on the NAS, but that aside.
