Upgraded to samba-3.0.20b and it's working fine now.

I've noticed that, when I add / remove someone to / from the group
"internet", which in my case is the one I give internet access, it is
taking a while for the user appear / be removed in the group, when I do
getent group the user only appears after a while, more or less 10
minutes. Is there a setting or something in which it updates quicker??

Thanks in advance,

André
