> On a member server, the ldap backend should not be needed for user and group look up. You do need some sort of idmapping for the unix level to see the UID's and GID's assigned to the samba users, and use those uid's and gid's to set file permissions. I need to do idmapping via winbind or something else?

In theory, this should let you use a local backend to store the idmap entries, and the idmap system should use map the SID's to the existing unix uid and gid. Never worked for me in practice.
