[Samba] Interdomain Trust, wbinfo works on both servers, getent doesn't work on one server

Hi

I have a problem with an interdomain trust where on the PDC for DomainA,
everything works perfectly.  getent returns local and DomainB usernames.

On the PDC for DomainB, it's DomainB works fine, but getent only returns
local usernames and groups, it doesn't return the usernames or groups for
DomainA.  wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work fine and return all DomainA's
usernames and groups.

This means that I can set permissions for DomainB staff on DomainA, and they
can successfully map shares and access files on DomainA.

I can't set permissions for DomainA staff on DomainB, and DomainA staff
cannot access DomainB using their own username and password :-(

I initially tried with a single WINS server on PDCA, then local WINS servers
with static pointers to the other Domain and PDC.  The behaviour was the
same as above for both configurations of WINS.

Given that wbinfo is working, is there a misconfiguration or a corrupted
database somewhere that is stopping getent working?

There are quite a few of these as I suppose individual DomainA users try to
access ServerB:

I can supply any other logs if required

Thanks for any help or pointers.
