Hi, I've got a file server running Ubuntu / hoary, with Samba/Winbind version 3.0.14a. We moved to this new(er) version because we recently upgraded to Windows Server 2003 SP1, and so anything older than this was horribly broken.
Unfortunately, our group problems don't appear to be completely gone. I've got the PAM and NSS winbind stuff setup so that domain users appear to be local users, but group membership seems to be still weirdly broken: "getent group network-group-name" shows that certain users are in a group. "id username" shows that the user belongs to that group. But if I "su - username && id", the group is mysteriously missing. As a result, certain users cannot get into certain directories whose access is controlled via group, whether it's on the commandline, through a Samba share, or whatever else. It's not all network groups that are affected, just a few ones at random. However, it is consistent in that if a user is having problems with a certain group, you can add and remove them from that group any number of times, and they will always have problems with that group. Any suggestions on how to fix / debug / workaround this problem would be *greatly* appreciated.
