I have given up on this, yes the wiki could be better, but it isn't that 
wrong. Gary seems to have picked disparate parts of the wiki and 
combined them incorrectly.

The last I heard was he was trying to use local Unix users (that is, 
users in /etc/passwd and not in AD) with groups from AD on a domain 
joined machine. This isn't a good idea and isn't required. Trying to 
follow Gary's posts is like trying to wade through treacle, I have now 
noticed that he is using the autorid idmap backend (which I would only 
recommend if you have multiple domains), his smb.conf has a sysvol share 
and he is using posix shares.
To be honest, in my opinion, if he could do it wrong, he has.

I will have a look at the Unix domain part of the wiki and remove the 
autorid from such prominence.
