FW: [Samba] Secondary Groups and Group Mapping

[Klinger, John (N-CSC)]

Resending to the technical list, as per Developer's Guide.

---------

The problem was in the libnss_winbind.so code for Solaris 8. 
The wrapper function to initialize the secondary groups immediately 
returned without doing any work.

As Jerry mentioned previously, this is already an open bug. 
I've submitted a patch to that bug report that adds the required
functionality.
 
See: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395
 
As I stated in the bug report:
Preliminary tests using this patch were completely successful. However, I'm
going to be performing further tests to ensure there are no 
side effects that I have yet to find.
