Please help with winbind setup

You can use the regular UNIX permission commands; they'll happily treat
winbind user and group names like any others, though you may have to quote
them if they contain spaces. For example, if I'm sharing a folder called
/export/stuff, and want only members of the domain administrators group to
be able to write it, but anyone to read it, I can do something like this:
chmod 775 /export/stuff
chown :"DOMAIN+Domain Admins" /export/stuff
The only difficulty with this is that the column widths for the ls -l
command are just too narrow to read the ownership information when using
this notation. I haven't found a good way around that yet. (Though in my
case I'm using ACLs, so I can always go a 'getfacl' on the file or directory
and find out that way.)

Done. I removed the samba server from the domain using
Server manager (is there a way to remove the machine
using smbpasswd?) and re-added it to the domain using
smbpasswd. Now i can see all my shares and access the
ones that have no particular permissions set!!! Thanks
a million.
My only question left is how do i set permissions for
the shares i create when using winbind? I used to use
the valid users command and smbpasswd to create
encrypted passwords. A fairly simple system but one
that worked well for me. But that method doesn't
appear to work when using winbind. How do i grant or
deny access to my shares on a user or group basis now?
Thanks again,
