DOM\user supported?

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

andrej,

does the account "user" exist on the samba unix server?  it is a
requirement of the "security = domain" system that a local account with
the same name as the nt domain exists on the samba server.

But if he tries to now "connect as" DOMAIN\user (this account *does* exists on our domain), SAMBA reports exactly the same!! That is, DOMAIN part seems to be silently ignored?
