samba - May 2002 - WinBind does not work well with Rational ClearCase (bug fix atta ched :)

Hello Samba,

We tried to use samba-2.2.4-1 with Rational ClearCase and had a problem
using WinBind.

ClearCase requires the primary group id to be set to the clearcase users
group.  WinBind sets the primary group to something like
DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS.

I am including the patch we made to samba-2.2.4 to get things working.

I have added two new smb.conf options:

winbind primary group	// defaults to "0" and sets user primary group
to
the domain's primary group
winbind force primary	// defaults to "no", non-members of
"primary group"
will get the domain's primary group.
				// If set to "yes", all users will get
"primary group" even if they are not listed as members.

Winbind set's the primary group to whatever is specified by the PDC.
Why should we override it?  I think I understand what your problem is
but I'm not convinvced that this patch should be applied to the main 
tree.
