I understand where you're coming and tried to mention that mindset in what I 
wrote.   You're assumption is that there is a "single controller", and for you 
it's Samba with RFC2307 attributes, but a lot of what I said still applies to
that exact scenario.  Unless you're ready to take nsswitch.conf to only having 
winbind (and search nothing else) and you're prepared to own the PAM stack.
True?  But I will tell you, that even with those extremes, the battle isn't 
easily won.
