On second thought: looking over the current description of the winbind package, I am already happy with it. I guess libpam-winbind should just say . This package provides PAM modules and NSS plugins to integrate winbind into the system's authentication and user/group/hostname lookup mechanisms. and leave the talk of NetBIOS and detailed use cases to the "winbind" package description. For reference, here's that description, in case someone has ideas for improvements. Description: Samba nameservice integration server Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol [...] . This package provides winbindd, a daemon which integrates authentication and directory service (user/group lookup) mechanisms from a Windows domain on a Linux system. User/group lookups are configured via /etc/nsswitch.conf, and authentication is integrated using the winbind module for PAM. Context: [1]. Sorry for the unnecessary noise.
