Samba4 nmbd/smbd/winbindd

[Ricky Nance]

Winbindd is the winbind daemon and libnss_winbind is the client so for
samba 3 to be able to read your user accounts, you will need to have those
symlinked .  Otherwise nsswitch doesn't know where to read from. Sorry for
the brevity but I am ony mobile right now.
