[Samba] Groups and LDAP

[Robert Rati]

I'm a little weak on how the groups assignments work with Samba and 
LDAP.  The Samba HOWTO collection says to map each Domain Group to a 
UNIX system group, but if all authentication is done via LDAP (Unix and 
Windows) then do the groups still have to exist on the Samba Unix 
machine?  Where do the RIDs fit into all this?  I don't see a schema in 
LDAP for sambaGroup.  Do I create the domain groups with the posixGroup 
schema and set their gid to a RID that will exist on the Windows machine 
(like 512 for Domain Admins)?  Or do I just bypass the group mapping 
altogether and set a Domain Admins sambaPrimaryGroupSID to <SID>-512? 
Any help on this would be very helpful, as I think I'm confusing myself.
