[Samba] Samba 4.2 domain member fails to access files

Achim,

Thanks a big bUnch! Indeed, I forgot about the cache. I looked at the 
contents of "net cache list" which also showed some of the wrong GIDs 
and UIDs that I had seen before when trying various settings. Then I 
ran "net cache flush" and users were immediately able to access data 
again.

I didn't know the cache could create such a big confusion, though. 
Also, it still puzzles me why this did not show up in the logs.

BTW, /var/lib/samba/private/idmap.ldb does not exist. But I guess 
that's how it's supposed to be since we are not running winbind and we 
don't do mappings other than what are the defaults.

Thanks again for your help and taking the time to read my longish 
message!
