Ah yes, there was some discussion along these lines a while back.  It
seems that Samba doesn't always honour secondary groups, depending on
where they're entered.

What happens if you list the secondary group in the "valid users"
option?  Presumably that does the same as "admin users" minus the extra
access.

Cheers,
Adam.
