3.0.25pre2 winbind woes

Hi,

Not sure if this is for samba-technical or samba, but it pertains to a
problem in 3.0.25preX that works in 3.0.24, so I hope I'm correct in
sending it here.
I'm using RID backend for a winbind deployment on a Solaris 10 server.

Since .25, I'm having trouble resolving the 'group' nss database, and
am getting:
[2007/03/26 17:36:24, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_group.c:winbindd_getgrnam(563)
  error converting unix gid to sid
In my winbind log file. Resolving 'passwd' works OK. wbinfo -g works OK.

I read the new winbind documentation and modified my smb.conf to
include the following lines:
[global]
workgroup = AMBER
netbios name = gandalf
realm = AMBER
security = ADS
allow trusted domains = no
idmap domains = AMBER
idmap config AMBER: default = yes
idmap config AMBER: backend = rid
idmap config AMBER: range = 100000-999999
idmap alloc config: range = 100000-999999

My old 3.0.24 smb.conf had the following lines, and worked correctly:
[global]
workgroup = AMBER
netbios name = gandalf
realm = AMBER
security = ADS
allow trusted domains = no
idmap backend = rid:AMBER=100000-999999
idmap uid = 100000-999999
idmap gid = 100000-999999

On a hunch, I tried adding the 'idmap uid' and 'idmap gid' lines to
the 3.0.25 configuration, it didn't work.

Tips? Bug against for 3.0.25?
