Gerald,
No worries.
This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want
everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within
ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+
users...
I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers.
I was hoping it could be applied to the main tree so I could just tell them
to get the latest version of Samba, and it would then have the added benefit
of being vetted by the experts.
There is a long standing comment within the source that something like this
would be nice to have as an option.
Thank you for your time and consideration :)
-Stephen

Winbind set's the primary group to whatever is specified by the PDC.
Why should we override it? I think I understand what your problem is
but I'm not convinvced that this patch should be applied to the main
tree.
cheers, jerry
