AW: [Samba] samba and BUILTIN groups

Curious - I found the problem: 

Our old server runs with 'valid users = @<GROUP>' for all shares. This
syntax works. 

I ran smb with log level 10 on the new server and saw that it tries to
find the group 'Unix Group\<GROUP>'. After changing the parameter to
'valid users = @<DOMAIN>\<GROUP>' in our smb.conf it works!

Is this a new behaviour?

The group "sysop" itself is member of the group "admin" which has the unix gid 500 in our Active Directory. When I type "id -a jhorchle" then I can see that I'm in the group 'admin'. This is the correct behaviour isn't it?)
