This may be too late, but I found another way to do this that dose not
require adding entries to the /etc/passwd file. If you use primarily
one domain then add the "winbind use default domain = yes" to the
smb.conf file. This will allow using just the username and not the
DOMAIN+user to login. With that option set gdm will allow the user to
login jut fine.
Hope this helps.
