alert: primary groups must be domain groups

[Michael S. Hulet]

Same smb.conf, domain.map, domainuser.map, local.map, /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, smbpasswd.  The only thing that changed was the compiler
(gcc 2.8.1 to gcc 2.7.2.3) and the platform (DEC Alpha 4.0d to Linux 5.0).
Then my runaway smbd didn't occur and I was able to log in.
