[Samba] Missing Groups (from LDAP?)

[Ade Fewings]

Hi all,

We have a working 3.0.9 installation here, but I am unable to build any 
version now that will correctly. 

The problem seems to be that samba is unable to pickup the groups of a 
user.  We are using an LDAP backend.  It all works fine on 3.0.9, but 
not on 3.0.14a2 or 3.0.20p1.  Here's the test/example data:

The OS knows the groups from NIS:

jurassic:42>id -a iss03c
uid=13460(iss03c) gid=201(is) 
groups=682(sudo),1195(cisco),815(dhcp),1233(issysnet)

Samba can't see them:

jurassic:43>./net user info iss03c
Password:

<no output>

In nsswitch.conf:

group:      files nis

smb.conf is the same as that for a working configuration, except for 
being a different workgroup.


I have a verbose log.smbd output for the duration of the 'net user 
info', if that would help. 

At the moment, I'm principally thinking of what the 'gotchas' can be 
that are causing me this problem, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ade
