YES.  And it has been discussed many times.  The archives should provide you 
with a variety of answers.

It never was true.  This is an issue relating to the NSS search base for POSIX 
accounts.  NSS *MUST* resolve all posixAccounts used by the samba server, so if 
the machine posixAccounts are not subordinate to your search base for POSIX 
accounts......
