I didn't see anybody pick this up, so I just figured I would let you
know that I've at least seen it. It's interesting that AD allows such
a situation to occur at all, with its 'all groups are equal' stuff.
I'll see if I can get a test environment for this - but I'm pretty busy
at the moment (the patch looks fine, so if somebody else wants to commit
it go right ahead).
Finally, it's good to see a few more companies in the Samba 3.0 game -
feel free to join the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
A number of the samba team as well as folk from other Samba-3.0 NAS
vendors can be found there from time to time. And don't be afraid to
repost a patch if it seems to have been ignored.
