Hello Jerry,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Actually, for us, the user does not login but we need to know all the groups that a given user belongs to so we use "id username"
So my question is, if the user doesn't login again, how long we cache what we already know and how do I change this cache length if needed.
Thanks so much,
Ephi

User group information is cached at login. Login the
user in again and you should see the new groups.
The specific cache file is netsamlogon_cache.tdb
(login token) and winbindd_cache.tdb (general L1 caching
in Winbindd).
cheers, jerry
