[Samba] Winbind: limiting groups that can log-in

Hi,

I am currently trying to configure AD (Windows 2003) + Linux (CentOS
4.4) to allow user logins for certain users, namely, developers.

The winbind authentication part of it is working correctly, but every
user in AD can login to the servers via ssh.

I have tried to limit users by adding 

valid_users = @"domain+developers" (+ is the separator) 

on /etc/samba/smb.conf, but this does not seem to work for
authentication.

As a workaround, I can limit access to groups by adding 

account required pam_listfile.so file=/etc/samba/allowed_groups
item=group sense=allow onerr=fail

to pam.d/sshd (/etc/samba/allowed_groups contains "developers"), but it
does not seem to get the group from AD, so no remote users can login.

Is there any way to map windows groups to unix groups without
installing SFU? I only want to map one group, so getting the data
directly from AD shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks

Gabriel
