OK.

Do you mean that you have other samba server (as file server) running and
uses LDAP as its backend? When you change the group(s), the changing doesn't
affect this file server immediately? If this is the case, I used to reload
nscd to refresh its cache, since start-stop or restart nscd brings no effect
at all.

Hope it can help - and pardon my language.
