Secondary groups not being honoured

Hi,
I have noticed a wierd behaviour in the recent(3.0rc2+) releases
This ONLY applies when using winbind to propogate user information.
(in a Win2k domain, using rpc not ads)
If I set a directory to "rwx" access for a secondary group they are unable to
write to these directories via samba (they can read it, and the permissions
look correct under windows). If they log in via other means (using
pam_winbind etc) they can do as permissions allow.
If a particular directory is set to "rwx" for their primary group all is well
in both windows and unix..
If a local group is created in /etc/group and the winbind enumerated user
added to it, write access works for both access methods.
With or without ACL support in the O/S has no effect.
Can someone point me in the right direction of the source? I'll have a poke
around and try to track it down. I guess the code must be only checking the
primary group and not any secondary(winbind generated) ones.
Matt
