Bug Description

Windows name-resolution does not work out-of-the-box on kubuntu and ubuntu desktop images.

Therefore I'd like to propose that libnss-winbind should be installed per default on desktop images. I will make WINS name resolution work out of the box which is something that you would expect as a normal user.
