[Samba] share mapping issue related to GID

[ravi channavajhala]

I’ve setup a brand new Samba server – 3.0.33 on RHEL 5.  The access to
shares is a bit erratic, specifically users who belong to a group which 
is different from their primary group.  Using LDAP, Kerberos, AD.  The
/etc/nsswitch.conf is set to files ldap.  Not using winbind at all.

The below two users cant map the shares (GID is not primary GID)

[root at samba]# getent passwd jane
jane:*:3057:1108:jane:/home/jane:/bin/bash 
[root at samba]# getent passwd jim
jim:*:3426:1108:jim:/home/jim:/bin/bash

This user can map the share (the GID is the primary GID)

[root at samba]# getent passwd danny 
danny:*:3041:3041:danny:/home/danny:/bin/bash 


[gusreedh at samba]# getent group 3041
danny:*:3041:

[gusreedh at samba]# getent group 1108
core_dev::1108:jane,jim,eric,steven,core_dev2,core_dev3,elias,chip,douglas

Also saving the files especially MS-office ones such as xls/doc are taking
really long time > 30-40 seconds.  Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,

Ravi
