Bug Description
When you install wine that installs winbindd too. winbindd is then run as a system-wide daemon even if wine isn't used at all. That is not how it should be. winbindd should, by default, only be run when wine actually is in use.

Wine needs the winbind package for its ntlm-auth functions. Ideally, these would be provided by a minimalistic version of the samba package that had no such daemon. So, I am retargetting this bug towards samba (which provides winbind). Thank you for reporting!
