We recently tried 2.2.4 in our environment (Solaris 8), with all users
and groups in LDAP, with local smbpasswd files. Samba did not seem to be
able to map gid to group name. Here's the share I was trying to mount:

path = /home/student/%g/%u

However, this is what the log file says:

The group name should be 'p00' and not '-1' :).
This works fine in samba 2.0.10, so something must have happened in
2.2....
