OK, another wikipage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/RFC2307_backend

The only way to ensure that your users have consistent uidNumbers & 
gidNumbers on **any**  Unix machine, is to use the RFC2307 attributes. 
The attributes are all available out of the box with Samba4, you just 
have to give your users and groups the required attributes.

Once you have given your users & groups these attributes, you then have 
to use something to pull these attributes. Winbind is available from 
Samba, but winbind on the DC is different from the winbind that is used 
on a member server or client. The winbind that is available on the DC 
will not pull any RFC2307 attributes other than 'uidNumber' & 
'gidNumber'. What this means is, if you want to use different 
unixHomeDirectories & loginShell's, you need to use sssd or nlscd.
