My expierience is different. I do this for round about 10 years in NT 
and AD style samba domains and have had no problems.

Sure "authenticated users", "local system" and all "groups" which are 
managed by the Windows OS will never work on an unix like OS. But groups 
which simply contain other groups like Administrators or Users works for 
me. I use nslcd as nss daemon, mostly, but I know it works also with 
other nss provider like winbindd.
