winbind has no function without a domain controller, since it only works
with users and groups, not hosts.

You are looking for nss_wins, you need to add "wins" to your hosts
line
of nsswitch.conf, assuming the rest (getting the libs in the right
place) is done. Set a wins server in your smb.conf, and it should all
work. Of course, you need a WINS server.
