This isn't possible, AFAIK there are issues both with samba's groups
handling (you should notice you can't use domain groups on ACLs on
client machines) and winbind's group support (even against Windows DCs)
in 2.2.x.
It could be possible with samba3, but samba3 is not recommended for
production yet. I have RPMs of samba-3alpha20 that will parallel install
with samba-2.2.x (well, currently built for 9.0, but I can build on 8.2
if necessary).
The problem though (with any samba->winbind solution) is that you won't
have consistent uid's between machines, so you won't be able to use
things like NFS.
The better solution is probably to setup LDAP. This will allow you to
use group permissions on samba servers, and NFS between machines.
You can find a tutorial for setting up LDAP on Mandrake at
http://www.mandrakesecure.net
You can then also setup samba to store it's passwords in LDAP, and there
are LDAP-enabled RPMs of samba-2.2.6 at
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba (soon to be on ftp.samba.org).
Shout if you want some pointers on setting up samba for LDAP on
Mandrake, most work is done for you, you can take a look at the
/etc/samba/smbldap_conf.pm (I think) and the import script in
/usr/share/samba/scripts. Also be sure to look at the new configuration
options in the default smb.conf (will be installed as smb.conf.rpmnew).

Buchan
P.S. The samba-ntdom list doesn't exist any more.
