Spaces in groupname and winbind

Don-

Thanks for the clarification.  That seems to work.  My only problem now
is that only a few groups are being returned w/ 'getent group'.  I can
get a full list of groups by doing a wbinfo -g, but not through the name
service.  Anything that does a group ID -> group Name mapping, like
"ls", etc, are severely slowed down, and remote authentication isn't
working in some cases.  Presumably due to the inability to map 'valid
users = @GROUPNAME' b/c the groupname isn't coming through getgrp().

Anyone else see this on Solaris 8?
