Hello all,
I found a cause and a fix for this issue, and - he said shamefacedly -
it's something I should have found much earlier: through some quirk of
the process whereby we exported existing LDAP data from the old PDC and
reformatted it to fit the new one, the sambaGroupMapping object class
was deleted from the affected groups, and so they couldn't be used by
Samba for checking access. Used smbldap-groupmod to add the correct
object class, and since then, it's all been fine.
Moral of the story: don't ever assume that, just because a dozen groups
were imported properly, the thirteenth one will work too - verify that
it worked.
