OK - I guess I now have to clarify one final thought. Apparently Linux
stores 'groups' in a named called 'group' and Samba pictures things as
'groups'

Thinking that my target is a single structure in LDAP for authentication
for both Samba and other posix services it doesn't make sense to have
both. 

My initial foray had me changing everything (samba smbldap_conf.pm,
nsswitch/ldap.conf, smb.conf into Group ou and it seemed to work but
since I need to have a domain_trust relationship with another WindowsNT
driven domain, it seemed that the ou Groups would provide symmetry and
user in the 'Accounting' Groups on the LinDomain would be accepted by
the WinDomain as also Accounting (perhaps the RID needed to match -
which brings up a whole 'nother security issue right?)
