 From looking at your smb.conf files below, this is what I would expect 
on a DC, unless you added uidNumber & gidNumer attributes.

It is not really a good idea to use a Samba DC (or any DC for that 
matter) for anything other than authentication.

Which server ?

I keep telling people this, but nobody seems to listen, you only need 
the 'winbind enum' lines for testing purposes, Samba works perfectly 
well without them.

ARGGGGHHHH!

If you are going to use the 'autorid' idmap backend, you only use the 
'autorid' idmap backend, the other 'rid' lines should be removed (I take 
it you have set up a two trust to BALEWAN), also, you only use 'unix nss 
info' with the 'ad' idmap backend. To put it bluntly, you couldn't have 
got it more wrong.

I take that you you used to compile Samba yourself.
