[Samba] Supplementary Group Issues

I have the same problem using samba 3.0.2a SUN Solaris-9 SUN One 
Directory Server 5.2

Supplementary groups are recognized quite correct under unix shell
environment, but samba can recognize them only from /etc/group file
ignoring content of /etc/nsswithch.conf

Is it bug or samba-3.* feature?
