[Samba] Can anyone get winbind to update group membership?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for giving this a go - now that I know it should be working, I
delved deeper into the problem and it turns out that there's something
funny happening with the smbd processes.  When I update group
membership any *new* smbd processes pick this up, however the existing
ones don't.

This also goes for shares too - I can delete a share from smb.conf and
do a "killall -HUP smbd" however any XP boxes already connected to the
share still have full access to it, even though it no longer exists in
smb.conf.  I have to actually kill the smbd process to cause the XP
machine to disconnect, and then when I reconnect the shares and group
memberships have updated.

I take it you didn't have to do any of this?  I wonder why I can't get
Samba to update its config without terminating it first?

Cheers,
Adam.
