But did you give Domain Users a gid? If you don’t do that, winbind  and getent will not find any UNIX users (doesn’t matter if the users have a uid and gid within the range you’ve specified in smb.conf). It’s been a while since I had this problem - my memory is it’s not clearly mentioned in the wiki at all.
