I'd just go and delete that whole part of the howto, as it also recommends the 
use of the deprecated and deactivated swat interface to set up things. 
However, I'm not sure what the best way to add users to S4 currently is. So 
maybe one of the S4 devs should have a look at that.

S4 winbind does not correctly handle groups yet, which is likely to be the 
actual cause of your troubles. I seem to remember that allocating gids for 
groups works just fine, but so far listing group members is not supported. If 
the "permissions are not working" part you're seeing could be explained by a 
failure to figure out if a user is member of a specific group, the lack of 
winbind functionality sounds like a safe bet.

Cheers,
Kai
