Supplemental groups in samba

[Jim Lawson]

Hi,

We're running samba-1.9.18p8 on a few different platforms (mostly IRIX and
AIX.)

I have noticed that we don't seem to have supplemental group support.  We
have a group file shared by NIS, and some directories are controlled by
group. 

For example:

We have a share here called cs whose path is /home/cs/common.  Under that
directory we have /home/cs/common/ta.  The "ta" directory has owner and
group privs, and nothing for world.

drwxrws---    2 douglas  cs21ta       512 Jun 30 16:59 ta/

Along comes a user, mgibbs.  His primary group is csugrads, but he is also
listed under the "cs21ta" group in the NIS group file.

Under UNIX, he can look at files in the "ta" directory and create files
there.  But when mapping the "cs" share, he can't see any files in the
directory, nor can he create any files there.

This is not specific to the user - I've set the same privs on my account
and it does not work.  For *primary* groups it works correctly: when I
set his group id in the NIS passwd file.  But samba seems to be ignoring
the NIS group file.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
