"groups testuser" *does* returns the groups testuser is member of. And
yes, I do use winbind authenticating against a Win2k Server PDC. And my
system does know my user :
gentent passwd | grep testuser
testuser:x:10000:10000:testuser:/home/DOMAIN/testuser:/bin/false
I'm going to look deeper into the samba doc, but I don't think that's
the problem. I really think it's on the rsync/cygwin side which probably
sends the numeric id instead of the name, or simply doesn't send the
name/uid map (although my user is known on this side, too).
