[Samba] Group resolution with Samba 2.2.5

[Henry, Brad ERM]

> Hello, I am using Samba 2.2.5 and OpenLDAP on RedHat 7.2 to provide
> Windows clients with distributed file and print functionality. We are
> using the standard Samba 2.2.5 RPM available from RedHat.
> 
> Everything is working perfectly, except for a problem with our Samba and
> groups. We are performing pass-through password authentication to our
> existing NT4 domain, so all we store in the LDAP tree is our posixUser and
> posixGroup entry data for NSS resolution, and PAM authentication to Linux.
> We believe that we have the  NSS operations setup properly, as user and
> group resolution work fine at the console, however group membership
> resolution does not seem to be occuring through samba for authenticated
> users at windows clients.
> 
> Can anyone else confirm or deny this behavior? Is there anything that I
> could provide to shed more light on the situation? Locally created groups
> (within the /etc/groups file) work fine in Samba and at the console, and
> NSS-LDAP resolved groups work fine at the console, but NSS-LDAP resolved
> groups do not work in Samba.
> 
> Thanks for any help you can offer,
> Brad
