Firstly, I am running beta2 as AD member. Auth through Winbind. Upgrading from beta1 to beta2 using RPM on RH 9 I noticed that Winbind will not start and smb will not stop using Init scripts. Seems to me RH9 /etc/init.d/winbind need the "winbind uid" parameter ? Here is the /var/log/samba/log.winbind output.
