Been real busy today preparing for a trip. AFAIK, Winbind is used to authenticate your system to NTLM (i.e. the NT4 domain controller) or Active Directory. If you have it installed, I think Samba will try to look for a domain controller on your network. I'm not really clear on the specifics or details of how the whole authentication process works. I did the whole Linux on NT4 domain thing over a year ago. For your own purposes, which is simple file sharing, I imagine a simple Workgroup setup would suffice. You may want to Google for tutorials or HowTos. I found this URL: http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/sambaserver.shtml You may want to give that a go first and see what happens. Try it with winbind off and the appropriate IP tables rules (iptables can mess with your file sharing).
