OK, I should have posted that as well:

adminuser at lmde5:~$ id unixuser
uid=1001(unixuser) gid=1001(unixuser) 
groups=1001(unixuser),13105(unixuser),10513(domain 
users),3001(BUILTIN\users)

adminuser at lmde5:~$ id SAMDOM\\unixuser
uid=13105(unixuser) gid=10513(domain users) groups=10513(domain 
users),13105(unixuser),3001(BUILTIN\users)

Still think they are the same user ?
