That is the default setting, so you do not need to explicitly set it.

Yes, but are they actually the same users, i.e. is local Unix user
'fred' the same user as AD user 'fred' ?

If they are, then the AD user 'fred' will be denied access to files
owned by the local Unix user 'fred'.

You will also have two points of administration of users and groups.

This is not a good idea, especially if you consider that because you
are using the 'rid' backend, ALL your users are now Unix users.
