    sorry when I said "login" I should said "login samba file server".

     I think maybe the difference is that you still stay on default
"domain users" group as primary group.
none of our users  use the default "domain users" as primary group. I
don't know if this is something I should not do.
but they work fine before. and there seems no document warning about
we should not change the default primary group.
