Hi,

we use samba 3.5.6 on debian stable. Linux machines
SAMBA1 , SAMBA2 and SAMBA3 joined to W2K3 domain W2K3-DOM
by "net rpc join" and handle linux users with nis ( YP ).

On all samba machines smb.conf includes:

	idmap domains = W2K3-DOM
    idmap backend = tdb
    idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
    idmap gid = 1000000-1999999

    idmap config W2K3-DOM : backend  = nss
    idmap config W2K3-DOM : range = 10000-999999
    winbind enum users = Yes
    winbind enum groups = Yes


But now we have troubles to access files on some samba pc.
For instance  user1 has group software on nis and W2K3.

You see ownership different on these samba pc.

SAMBA1 : user  = Unix User\user1
         group = software

SAMBA2 : user  = SAMBA2\user1
	     group = software

SAMBA3 : user  = SAMBA3\user1
	     group = software

So Windows user1 has only group access on SAMBA2 and SAMBA3.
When looking for users by pdbedit and wbinfo I got the
follwing output:

SAMBA1:
       wbinfo -u :  W2K3-DOM\user1
       pdbedit -L outputs only local and no yp users

SAMBA2:
	   wbinfo -u : W2K3-DOM\user1
	               no output of SAMBA2 users
       pdbedit -L outputs user1

SAMBA3:
	   wbinfo -u : W2K3-DOM\user1
	               output of local SAMBA3 users but no yp-users
       pdbedit -L outputs user1
                  ( but there are only some yp users and all local users )


How and where can I change the behaviour on SAMBA2 and SAMBA3 so that
yp users have access by there username ?

Thanx in advance.
