The problem isn't that the DC returns 'DOMAIN\username' , it is that 
adding 'winbind use default domain = yes' to smb.conf on the DC doesn't 
work. Without this line on a domain member, winbind returns the same 
result as on a DC i.e. DOMAIN\username. The further problem is that 
whilst the Samba devs are aware of this, they have other things to 
fix/make work and this comes low down on the scale.

If you can program in 'C', I am sure a Patch to fix your problem would 
be welcomed.
