Is this option for a PDC, a Samba member server, or should
it apply to both?
If we are only talking a a member server, then the only
domain accounts should be defined by the PDC. In this
case, then the UNIX groups on the Samba member server
should be mapped to the NT domain groups.
If we are talking about a PDC, then I don't see the use
for local groups at all on a Samba box. I'm having deja-vu
here, guys....
SO which situation are we talking about?
