Hi

thank you, for your fast replay.
I have a user sporer
[root at server root]# id -a sporer
uid=1000(sporer) gid=1000(sensodrivegroup) 
Gruppen=1000(sensodrivegroup),1001(managementgroup)

The user and the group is in ldap and nss_ldap seems to work..
[root at server root]# getent group
root:x:0:root
....
Domain Admins:x:912:
Domain Users:x:913:
Domain Guests:x:914:
Administrators:x:944:
Users:x:945:
Guests:x:946:
Power Users:x:947:
Account Operators:x:948:
Server Operators:x:949:
Print Operators:x:950:Administrator
Backup Operators:x:951:
Replicator:x:952:
Domain Computers:x:953:
sensodrivegroup:x:1000:sporer,haehnle,sporers,unterholzner,geist,bertleff,hauschild,sensodrive,root
managementgroup:x:1001:management,root,haehnle,sporer,sporers

I am using
[root at server root]# rpm -q nss_ldap
nss_ldap-207-3

on RH9

Within samba I have to shares
[Projekte]
   comment = Sensodrive-Projekte
   path = /home/sensodrive
   force group = sensodrivegroup
   force user = sensodrive
   valid users = @sensodrivegroup,root

[Management]
   comment = Sensodrive-Management
   path = /home/management
   force group = managementgroup
   force user = management
   valid users = @managementgroup,root

Every user can access the Projekte share, because the primary  group of 
every user is sensodrivegroup.
When user sporer tries to acess the Management share, he gets
 user 'sporer' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share 
(Management)

If I add the user sporer by his username to valid users it works
   valid users = @managementgroup,root,sporer,haehnle,sporers

Maybe this helps to solve the problem
If you need more information, or further testing give me a note

Thank you very much

Greetings

Hansjörg
