That will not make 'getent passwd' show a Unix group as the users 
primary group, not unless you set the required 'idmap config' line in 
smb.conf on the Unix domain member, but the users primary group on 
Windows would still be Domain Users and I do not think it is a good idea 
to have different primary groups depending on the OS.
