samba - Apr 2005 - Disable winbindd authentication while keep winbindd running

Hello

I have samba 3.0.13 running in ADS mode. For some specific reason I want
to disable winbindd authentication while I want winbindd keep running.
If I understood right - option "auth methods" would help to do that.
But
I am not sure if this will not break existing services :

auth methods = guest sam

All users that authenticate are created locally in /etc/passwd file.

Can anybody give me advice how to keep winbindd running but for disable
it usage ? (don't ask why - just give information  ....)

Thank you in advance !

is it a domain member or controller? i guess it's the last thing, so you 
should be fine with "passdb backend ="

that should do the authentication
