I'm using Samba 3.0.2a & win2K clients.
All secondary groups are in LDAP and groupmapped i.e.
Each secondary group has
...
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-...
...


The point is the secondary groups are not even requested
during login process according to the LDAP server log-file.
