So, as I understand, I should try 'wbinfo -a username%password' ? Is 
this just for test, or should this be done for every username to refresh 
the groups the user is in ? Anyway, I tried id both ways and this 
doesn't change group list for the user.

Should I report the bug ?

P.S. Also, what can be possible reason of 'wbinfo -a' working in 
challenge/response only under the root account on some machines ? 
Plaintext authentication doesn't have this problem.

Thanks.
