The main problem is peformance.  Basically whan you need to do is to
get the group membership and then resolve any SIDs that are users.
Look in winbindd_getgrnam() and winbindd_getgrent() 
(nsswitch/winbindd_group.c).  All of this should then be cached
somehow so you don't take the performance hit everytime.

It is not particularly hard I don't think.  Just needs to be done.



cheers, jerry
