You have to rfc2307-ify the group too. e.g.:
samba-tool group add suseusers
samba-tool group addmembers suseusers steve6

wbinfo --group-info=suseusers
suseusers:*:3000016:

kinit Administrator

ldapmodify -h 192.168.1.3 -D cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=hh3,dc=site -Y 
GSSAPI
dn: cn=suseusers,sn=Users,dc=hh3,dc=site
changetype: modify
add: objectClass
objectClass: posixAccount
-
add: objectClass
objectClass: posixGroup
<hit enter + ctrl C. . .bug in os 12.1??>
Then,
Use nslcd to map uid:gid from LDAP:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:    files ldap
group: files ldap

and then:
hh3:/home/steve # getent passwd steve6
steve6:*:3000015:3000016:steve6:/home/CACTUS/steve6:/bin/bash
hh3:/home/steve # getent group suseusers
suseusers:*:3000016:
hh3:/home/steve # wbinfo -i steve6
CACTUS\steve6:*:3000015:3000016::/home/CACTUS/steve6:/bin/false

Linux= nfs4/idmapd. w7= out of the box.

Server:
hh3:/tmp # id steve6
uid=3000015(steve6) gid=3000016(suseusers) groups=3000016(suseusers)

Client:
steve6 at hh6:~> id
uid=3000015(steve6) gid=3000016(suseusers) groups=3000016(suseusers)
steve6 at hh6:~> echo "Hola" > file
steve6 at hh6:~> ls -l file
-rw-r--r-- 1 steve6 suseusers 5 Feb  9 13:52 file

Maybe I should add this to the bug report.
Cheers,
Steve
