Bug Description
Binary package hint: winbind
With winbind installed, one could previously usually add 'wins' to the 'hosts' line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow ubuntu to resolve wins names in a decentralized manner. This seems to be broken in feisty.

I am not sure if this is related but I have been having problems with my samba installation and have traced it to winbind for now.
When winbind is installed I can browse samba shares on a feisty machine (fresh install). When I remove winbind, I can browse the said shares. If I install winbind again ... cannot browse shares, when I remove it ... shares are again browseable.
