Thank you Rowland for looking at it.
I did read the wiki here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Idmap_config_ad
 that is how I got as far as I did; that and the idmap_ad man page. I could
not find how to use the loginShell is there a variable I can use for it in
the template or an option to set to use it? loginShell and unixHomedir are
not mentioned on the wiki that I could find. I'm good with the templated
homedir but curious how to use the unixHomedir. It seems that the schema_mode
= rfc2307 is the default as it works fine except for the default shells
which I have the workaround for. I think I will move them out of their home
directories and set them else ware, where users will need to ask to change
the shell. I purposefully set rid as the default backend if one does not
exist explicit for the domain as it worked better for me. What I did with
the default backend should stop the login if the domain isn't explicitly
defined.
