[Samba] Strange groups problem with 2003 AD

[Gary Casterline]

I'm seeing similar issues.

    add a new member to a group in AD using windows "Active Directory
Users and Computers"
    'getent group groupname'  shows the new member

fine.
buuuut (love that spelling), 'groups newmember' doesn't show the
groupname membership.

I'm running on RHEL-6.2, samba 3.5.10.

Has anyone besides Eduardo and I run into this?
