No.  I have a samba server 3.033 joined to a windows 2003 AD with a mix 
of clients.  All works fine.  I installed a 3.6.9 that works for all 
users except those with unix id's >11k and win7 clients.  I have all 
unix users/groups in /etc/passwd and /etc/group on the samba server.  
With 3.033 and earlier just passing to AD for authentication and then 
using the local /etc/pass/group for all other attributes (uid, gid, home 
directory) always worked.  This group (and you especially) made me aware 
this doesn't work anymore with the newer samba's and I need the unix uid 
in AD through some schema extention I have links to (but to date no real 
understanding of what it means).  I got confused and couldn't determine 
for myself through reading whether I was going to have to import all of 
my unix groups into AD and if this schema extension then added a unix 
attribute to all of the groups that I then put the unix gid into or 
not.  My plan was to somehow try to install an AD somewhere (yeah, that 
should be interesting seeing as the last time I even installed windows 
on a desktop was probably windows 2000)  so I could test and if I could 
get it working I would have some backup plan in case a client upgrade to 
win 7 causes my existing samba to fail.
