[Samba] Altered behavior in 3.0.25 and 3.0.24-gc-1

[Jean-Jacques Moulis]

By mistake or by design membership in a Windows Primary Group seems to be mandatory!

We are using printservers configured as member servers of Samba domains.

with the following configuration
    
        security = DOMAIN
        password server = PDC
        encrypt passwords = yes
        map to guest = Bad Password

The Samba PDCs use plain smbpasswd files.

Since upgrading to 3.0.25 and regressing to 3.0.24-gc-1 some users couldn't
print (strange considering map to guest = Bad Password)

they got an  NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL in log files and were refused printing.

The common denominator for users with print problems was the lack of mapping
from their GID to a SID

net groupmap add ntgroup="A new group" unixgroup=gidgroupname
solved the problem but it took a while to find out :-)

Regards!
