samba - Feb 2012 - samba 4 how to enable winbindd

Hello,
	I configured a domain controller on a ubuntu server using samba 4
alpha 15 using ubuntu's distribution packages and followed this howto:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind to have unix account for
domain users but winbindd is not running; these two commands from the howto
does not work:

Wbinfo -p
Wbinfo -u

I configured debug logging for pam as well as samba (log level 5) and all I
am getting is these log entries (among a few others):

Feb 27 07:38:07 shitbox dovecot-auth: pam_winbind(dovecot): getting password
(0x00000000)
Feb 27 07:38:07 shitbox dovecot-auth: pam_winbind(dovecot): internal module
error (retval = PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL(9), user = 'alain')
Feb 27 07:38:07 shitbox dovecot-auth: pam_winbind(dovecot): valid_user:
wbcGetpwnam gave WBC_ERR_WINBIND_NOT_AVAILABLE

I have tried to look up the smb.conf manpage but ubuntu install the manpage
for samba 3's winbindd, not samba 4 so I couldn't find the setting
needed to
enable winbindd in samba 4.

Are you running a version of wbinfo that was compiled with your Samba4
install, or is this one your package manager installed at some point?
The winbind named pipe wbinfo uses for communication changed location at
some point, and your wbinfo might be looking at the wrong place.

HTH,
