I tried this and all the responses seem in line.  Here is what I got:

[jj AT HERMES jj]$ cd /tmp
[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ id -a
uid=1189(jj) gid=512(Domain Admins) groups=512(Domain Admins)
This is straight from the /etc/passwd file

[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ touch /tmp/myfile
[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ ls -ln /tmp/myfile
-rw-r--r--   1 544      512             0 Nov 12 08:05 /tmp/myfile
The reason the owner of the file is 544 not 1189 is because I am a
member of the HERMES\Administrators group.  When I create a file that
file is owned by HERMES\Administrators _not_ me.  (HERMES\Administrators
denotes the group Administrators on the server HERMES)

[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ mkpasswd -d |grep jj:
jj::1189:512:JJ Streicher-Bremer::/bin/sh
I am using my domain account for authentication.  One very nice thing
about Sergey's code is that if there is no local user to authenticate to
the system looks to the domain (assuming the system is a member of a
domain) for authentication.

[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ ntls -l
-rwx---r-x    1 Administ Domain A        0 Nov 12 08:05 myfile
This is the ls.exe app that comes with the NT Resourse Kit renamed.  You
can see that this app maps the owner to Administrat(ors) correctly.

[jj AT HERMES /tmp]$ ntls -l /tmp/myfile
ls: /tmp/myfile: No such file or directory
This is the problem with the ls.exe from the NT Resource Kit.  It
doesn't use the CYGWIN path nomenclature :-(
