Whilst I would agree that using a Unix domain member is better as a
fileserver, this isn't because the fileserver functions are different on
a DC, they are exactly the same. A DC and a Unix domain member both use
the same fileserver daemon 'smbd', what is different is the idmap
backend and the one that a DC uses is configured towards Windows and
hence you have to set the permissions on a Windows machine.
