Only if you are using the winbind 'ad' idmap backend, which Gregory
isn't.

There is.

Also, the 'enum' lines are only required for troubleshooting purposes
(such as this) and shouldn't be in a production smb.conf.

It was my belief this was required for the users and groups to show up; but
that one method for IDs being assigned were the other, non-AD storage, local
ID storage configurations.

How _should_ the unix IDs for users and groups that are part of the domain
be exposed to the host system outside of Samba?  My understanding is that
this was the only way; so I've clearly misunderstood the documentation.
