Hi,

The FreeBSD nsswitch cannot be used for WinBind (yet, hopefully). To quote
the nsswitch.conf man pages:

   Sources
     The following sources are implemented:

     Source  Description
     files   Local files, such as /etc/hosts, and /etc/passwd.
     dns     Internet Domain Name System.  `hosts'' and networks' use IN
         class entries, all other databases use HS class (Hesiod) entries.
     nis     NIS (formerly YP)
     compat  support +/-' in the `passwd'' and `group'' databases.  If this
         is present, it must be the only source for that entry. 

Perhaps you would want to help extend it?
