Default [Samba] Group names matching user names

We're configuring Windows Server 2003 against Samba with an LDAP
backend. Things are mostly working. On the UNIX end, all users have,
as their primary group, a groupname matching their login id. So,
username "china" has groupname "china" as the primary group. I tried
creating a local user on the Windows Server 2003 box and a groupname
equivalent to the username but it wouldn't let me ("The account
already exists" is the error returned). Is the way we're doing things
on UNIX going to cause a problem for Windows? One Windows application
we tested wouldn't allow us to login because of this issue.
