Well, the same as here. Just for ONE user, the "gid of user doesn't 
exist" error remains. This user is part of /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and 
member of the "Advanced Users" group (or whaterver it's called in 
English) and it was mapped at least twice with net groupmap add, and 
smbpasswd {-a -e} $USER.
This error is driving him crazy 'cause he can't logoff from that host in 
no less than 15 minutes!
