Solaris NSS problem, only seeing few winbind groups

[ww m-pubsyssamba]

I have discovered the following additional detail on the behaviour being exhibited by Solaris,

When I run "getent group" many groups which are visable from "wbinfo -g" are not displayed.
But if I run "getent group groupname" against a groupname which is not displayed by "getent group"
I can see the group, and all group members!
But if I do "logins -m -l username" or "id -a username" for a user in a problem group, the user is
not listed as having the problem group as a secondary group?!?
And the user has no access to files or folders permissioned rwx to the problem group.

Perhaps not the same as your bug Luke?

	thanks Andy.

Hi Luke,

	thanks for your interest, yes this problem only seems to occur with Solaris and
does look like the same issue on your bug.
I've tested this on RedHat Linux and the problem is not present. But I see this problem
on Solaris 8 & 9. I've logged a support call with Sun but I need help pointing them to
and diagnosing the problem. If anyone can provide any assistance, or give me any
ammunition to get Sun to recognise a problem then I'd be very grateful,

	thanks Andy.
