Winbind and Active Directory

Hi all,
I have some questions about Winbind and Active Directory.
I'm migrating a box off of it's current NT Domain dependency to an Active 
Directory.  Since I have all the SSH and SAMBA stuff configured for Winbind, 
I'd like to keep the same setup.  Unfortunately, simply joining the active 
directory domain with "net rpc join" doesn't seem to give the desired 
results.  

Although I can list all the domain users in "getent passwd"  I can't login 
with SSH and I can't chown a file to any domain user:

Nov  7 10:22:05 lngz19 sshd[15707]: Postponed keyboard-interactive for illegal 
user DOMAIN+myid from ::ffff:172.16.33.163 port 53949 ssh2
Nov  7 10:22:06 lngz19 sshd[15707]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for 
illegal user DOMAIN+myid from ::ffff:172.16.33.163 port 53949 ssh2

lngz19:~ # chown DOMAIN+myid vdir
chown: `DOMAIN+myid': invalid user


Any ideas of what might have changed between NT Domain and AD Domain 
Emulation?  Any security settings which might be enabled in AD that might 
stop this type of activity?
Anyone with AD integration experience?  Should I be joining the AD using "net 
join" instead of "net rpc join"?  Does that still allow me to use winbind for 
PAM integration?

Thanks,
Matt
