for 2.0.x,
if you have an NT PDC, you have to have users and groups allocated both
on the PDC and in /etc/passwd and /etc/group on the samba file server.
samba knows which unix groups equal which NT groups using the <samba
dir>/lib/domaingroup.map  file.

yes, this is a maintainence pain. although samba can auto-magically add
non existent users to /etc/passwd via the Password Chat option (and
thereby giving them a primary group), you have to manually add them to
secondary groups in /etc/group.

i can't speak for TNG...
