libnss_wins allows you to resolve netbios names via
gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr().

Does Samba3 utilize these function calls in the packaged RPM builds and if so, 
is there any reason to utilize the libnss_wins libs / conf if currently 
implementing an nss-ldap configuration with Samba3 operating as a wins
