Finally I would ask some clarification about "option compat" in
nsswich.conf, 'cause I've not find in doc and man a clear explanation.

From Manpage from nsswitch.conf:
** Interaction with +/- syntax (compat mode)
Linux libc5 without NYS does not have the name service switch but does
allow the user some policy control. In /etc/passwd you could have
entries of the form +user or +@netgroup (include the specified user
from the NIS passwd map), -user or -@netgroup (exclude the specified
user), and + (include every user, except the excluded ones, from the
NIS passwd map). Since most people only put a + at the end of
/etc/passwd to include everything from NIS, the switch provides a
faster alternative for this case (`passwd: files nis') which doesn't
require the single + entry in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow.
If this is not sufficient, the NSS `compat' service provides full +/-
semantics. By default, the source is `nis', but this may be overridden
by specifying `nisplus' as source for the pseudo-databases passwd_com‐
pat, group_compat and shadow_compat. These pseudo-databases are only
available in GNU C Library.

That's as much as I know...i.e. will likely use your /etc/passwd/group
unless you have NIS....and GNU provides some GNU specific extensions to
support similar features.
As to the other prob -- random info returned...you are running samba
right? Random results are a key feature! ;-)
Seriously...do you have something like nscd running or some other
directory service (ldap/yp/nis) that might be returning it's "opinion"
on the information rather than it always going to wb?
(I have lots of probs with wb, so anything I say should be considered with
a full salt container in hand...just in case)...
