[Samba] Samba 4 to replicate my samba3.6 config

We are running Arch Linux as a new sever and only has samba4 available officially
I am trying to migrate my samba 3 config to work with samba 4


I currently use samba to authenticate windows users to use our Linux shares. Then using the Unix groups setup in NIS to validate the users access to a particular share.

Here is the problem.

I can see the shares using samba 4 but it uses the "Domain users" group to read and write to the shares and not any of the Unix groups.

Any Suggestions?
