[Samba] unix_primary_group not used when writing files

[L. van Belle]

I did a small test.. 

What the default is.. 
id username
uid=10002(username) gid=10000(domain users) groups=10000(domain users)
so I change my "primay group name/GID"  in ADUC, 

id username
uid=10002(username) gid=10034(marketing-sales) groups=10034(marketing-sales)

touched a file in /tmp and... domain users.. 

I reverted the change.. tested to be sure.. same. 
now I changed gidNumber .. ans same. 

So now it looks like it’s a bug.. 
*( tested on 4.16.2 ) 

I do know this did work.. 
Rowland can you verify it? 


Greetz, 

Louis
