But I'm not quite sure... ---- I think that the goal of samba developers is to deliver a product that integrates with the expectations of current Windows servers and clients and would emulate their functionality and you are asking to allow you to configure samba in a way that the developers have already suggested would break configuration and normal operations. That doesn't seem to be something that they are likely to spend at just to satisfy your concept of security. If there was a security model within Windows that they could emulate, they probably would - which is why I asked how one could accomplish your task solely within Windows environment.
In essence, the list of users is returned to the local machine which is trusted because it was joined to the domain and the user will see this list enumerated at necessary times (i.e. setting privileges for a file or folder). If you require a higher level of security, then perhaps the Windows domain model (including Samba) is not suitable.
