samba - Sep 2006 - Mapping all members of an AD group to a single unix username?

Hello all

I've tried various permutations in the smbusers file ( referenced by
username map ), to get all members of a Windows AD group to be able to
authenticate to a Samba Share, mainly along the lines of DOMAIN\GroupName,
but I can't figure out a way to get this to work.

What I need is for any member of the DOMAIN\SambaGroup to authenticate to
the Samba server as the unix user winuser.

Any tips or pointers on this? I've exausted all perumtations I could think
of in google, and various pages seem to suggest that this can be done, but
don't say how.

	So, let just me clear a few things:

1) Do you want your users to give the password of winuser? Or do
   you want that the owner of files and directory be 'winuser'?

	I'm asking that, because you could allow the access to
the group and force the user to be 'winuser'.
