[Samba] unixHomeDirectory, loginShell, etc. on Samba4 AD DC

[Jim Seymour]

Hi All,

There having been no further comment in the other thread: I'm looking
for a confirmation, being as I've misinterpreted or misunderstood things
before.

In a post in the thread ''Wither "uidNumber" and "gidNumber"?'', the
ever-helpful Rowland Penny and I had the following exchange:

Before I issue a series of "apt-get purge"s and start all over, again,
this time aiming for a plain ol' vanilla Samba workgroup server: I
understand, by Rowland's comment, there is no way for a given network
user to have both an AD and Unix login, on the same host, having the
same username, UID, etc., when 

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,
Jim
