[Samba] Fwd: getent group fails - fixed

[Dermot]

Found it.

It turns out that the config file for libnss-ldap is
/etc/libnss-ldap.conf on my distro (Debian). So NSS was ignoring the
config that I had been in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and taking it from
/etc/libnss-ldap.conf. The former had this "nss_base_group
ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?sub" and the latter this
nss_base_group ou=group,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?one. Once I edited
group to Groups, it started working.

Hope that saves someone the (huge) amount of time it's taken me to
figure out where this problem was.
Thanks,
