What are the clients you use ? If Win9X, there was a bug in Samba3 
before 3.0.1rc? where groups where compared in uppercase to the posix 
ones (mostly lowercase). It has been corrected in latests Samba 3.0.2 
and 3.0.2a.
Also, remember that all the secondary groups you need to see in Samba 
have to be defined in LDAP, and groupmapped.
