[Samba] Primary and secondary group issues with Vintela VAS and
Samba

I'm wondering if anyone on the Samba mailing list has seen this problem
with Vintela VAS and Samba.
----------
The problem I am having is that Vintela VAS knows about the groups in
AD but Samba only seems to recognize a user's primary group in AD. So,
if I chgrp a file or directory in Solaris to anything other than a
user's primary group and share it out via samba, a user is not able to
access the file or directory even though they are a member of the group
I used.
We're able to view the groups via "/opt/vas/bin/vastool list groups"
without a problem.
system specs:
Solaris 10
VAS 2.6SP4
Samba 3.0.21b
heimdal kerberos libraries 0.7.1
/etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files vas
group: files vas
We followed the following instructions for installation:
http://rc.vintela.com/topics/samba/howto-heimdal.php
so in short
vas + solaris = works great!
vas + solaris + samba = doesn't work except for the primary group.
It's a longshot to post this to the Samba mailing list, but any
suggestions would greatly help!
