Just replying to myself ...

Seems the problem was my root user was not enabled / did not have a 
password set.  So PAM had a lookup failure and moved on to pam_winbind 
which confused me.

I could have swore I had a root password, but maybe it was removed at 
some point. Anyway, setting a root password and console login works.
