update docs for "password server" and regenerate
also fixed a number of syntax errors in the SGML source for several man pages (people really need to start validating docs before checking them in). (This used to be commit 91a21782e09562644ab4938cb0170b8fb94f0ccf)

+.TP
+\fB-n\fR
+Disable caching. This means winbindd will
+always have to wait for a response from the domain controller
+before it can respond to a client and this thus makes things
+slower. The results will however be more accurate, since
+results from the cache might not be up-to-date. This
+might also temporarily hang winbindd if the DC doesn't respond.
+.TP
+\fB-B\fR
+Dual daemon mode. This means winbindd will run
+as 2 threads. The first will answer all requests from the cache,
+thus making responses to clients faster. The other will
+update the cache for the query that the first has just responded.
+Advantage of this is that responses are accurate and fast.
