Define what you mean by 'really root' ?

The root user is a Unix user and, as such, has nothing to do with AD (or 
NFS).

If you can login into a Unix domain member, you should be able to use 
root and if you login into a Windows domain member, then try to use 
root, it should go 'root ? who is that ?'

So, when you log into a Unix domain member, what isn't working ?
