That did not work. But on the bright side, it looks like it is doing that only 
for one user and only via smb. 

Other services which use the same winbind authentication seem to work fine for 
that user such ftp and afp. I am going to recreate the user and see if it 
resolves the issue.

Thanks for your help.
