I know, I also know of the kernel and glibc patch.

I am using Samba 3 via winbind against a w2k3 AD Domain. The Windows
people want to use nested groups (that would be covered by your patch).
The problem is, that we will have more than 32 groups per User.

So the question is, would it be possible to introduce some kind of
credential cache?
