OK
getent passwd works as does wbinfo -u/-g
getent passwd doesn't

My workgroup is ALTEA
I create a group staff2 with posixGroup and gidNumber of 21114
This works:
getent group ALTEA\\staff2
ALTEA\staff2:x:21114:


Back on the Samba4 DC at debug 3 the getent group command gives around 
50 of these:
ldb: ldb: dnAttributes extended match not supported yet

getent group (without specifying a WORKGROUP\\group) returns only local 
groups. Unfortunately the question remains the same. Why does getent 
group return only local users?

Is this just Ubuntu 12.04 with Samba 3.6.3? Can anyone confirm that it 
works on other distros?
