[Samba] getent anomaly with samba 3.0.0 - please help!

[Wild, Phil]

Hi Samba users
 
I have just compiled Samba 3.0.0 for Solaris 8 and am having a similar
problem that I saw when compiling samba 2.2.8a last week.
 
I set up winbindd as per instructions on samba.org including linking the
libnns_winbind.so file as documented.
 
I configure passwd and group entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf as per
documentation.
 
Winbindd appears to run correctly and connects to the domain.
 
A wbinfo -g returns all groups
 
Wbinfo -g | wc -l returns 456 entries
 
Getent group returns only a subset of all Domain groups
 
Getent group shows lots of Domain groups but a 
 
Getent group | wc -l returns 230 entries
 
I am missing half the groups, any idea why?
 
Has anyone seen this?
 
Many thanks
 
Phil
