[Samba] auto_private_groups analogue?

Maybe a workaround?  We use winbind and default domain.  Therefore there 
are two records from getent if there's a local user with the same name 
(and different uid).  However, I just did a test creating a local user 
with the uid from winbind and created the associated group.  So, for my 
cjcox test user when logged into a shell I get:

$ id
uid=16777219(cjcox) gid=16777219(cjcox) 
groups=16777219(cjcox),16777217(BUILTIN\users), etc...

and I only get one entry back from gentent passwd.

Is there any option in Winbind that could help achieve a similar result? Say, I have a user 'alexey' with uidNumber 1174235, when I run `id alexey` I want to get 'uid=1174235(alexey) gid=1174235(alexey)' instead of 'uid=1174235(alexey) gid=1174235' and a '/usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 1174235' message when opening terminal.
