Authenticating groups of users...

[Don Werve]

I'm trying to configure individual shares to have access lists conterolled by
the '@' method of group specificiation.  We're running Samba 2.2 and NIS, 
and here's what the problem is:

I know that NIS is functioning properly, and I can access shares if I add my 
username into 'valid user' for that share.  If I set 'valid user = @group' 
and attempt to access the share (as I'm in the group 'group'), I get an auth
error.  Server is having its user authentication handled by a Samba 2.2 PDC.

Any ideas?

Here's the [global] section of smb.conf:

[global]
    workgroup = EXAMEN
    log level = 1
    netbios name = fileserv
    netbios aliases = yosemite2
    server string = Yosemite (Samba)
    security = user
    encrypt passwords = yes
    allow trusted domains = no
    kernel oplocks = no
    oplocks = no
    max log size = 10000
    wins support = no
    wins server = 158.222.64.239
    name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
    dns proxy = no
    preserve case = yes
    short preserve case = yes
    unix password sync = false
    invalid users = root
    load printers = no
    os level = 65
    domain logons = yes
    domain master = no
