'security = user' means an NT4-style PDC or a standalone server, so you 
might be able to make this work, but it would mean using the same 
usernames etc everywhere. To make the share use Windows ACLs, you would 
have to add 'vfs objects = acl_xattr' to the share config.

Whether this is a good idea, I am not sure, I mean, what is the user 
case ? Why would you want to do this, you would probably be better off 
joining the machine to an AD domain and using Windows ACLs.
