Here is mine:

     [*] Kerberos authentication
     [*] Unix authentication
     [*] Winbind NT/Active Directory authentication
     [*] Register user sessions in the systemd control group ...
     [*] Create home directory on login

My backend is "ad".

So, mine is here: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_winbind.so.2" and 
yours is here:  "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_winbind.so.2". Do I need 
to create a symbolic link between the two? Or are your saying that the 
distro does not incorporate symlinks like those needed on built from 
source installations?
