No... just tested it :(

if you have time : does you output of wbinfo resembles this :

[root at client root]# wbinfo -u
root
jo
[root at client root]# wbinfo -g
Domain Admins
Domain Users


I REALLY wonder where these groups are stored on the pdc... I find
no trace of them in /etc/samba/smbpasswd or anywhere...
