samba - Jul 2004 - Problems with Samba 3.0.5 - Domain Groups acting funny

Ok, seems to be a problem with the groups, and its not relly limited to 
3.0.5, it happened with 3.0.2a as well.

Here are the deets...

Mandrake 10
Samba 3.0.5

Add Machine Script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d 
/dev/null -s /bin/false -M %u

Symtoms and background

Username: mkoster
Machine name: matt-idc
Domain Groups: Sales, Finance, Marketing, Service
Login script using ifmember statements to map drives depending on group 
membership
Domain name: INTLDATA

WHen I add my computer to the domain, it adds a samba user called matt-idc$
When I log on as mkoster from matt-idc$ I get the following groups relevant 
to the situation

\INTLDATA\mkoster
\INTLDATA\Sales
\INTLDATA\Finance
\INTLDATA\Marketing
\INTLDATA\matt-idc$

Now I get the relevance mappings, I get the Sales, Finance, and Marketing 
folders mapped, however the Service folder is not being mapped because for 
some reaon my computer name became a Group, but neither the Samba Group 
list, not the machin group list have matt-idc listed as a group.

I originaly though this was caused by uid and gid, since both Service and 
matt-idc had the number 502 (matt-idc had uid 502, Service had gid 502)  
However I changed all the special groupd to gid 1000+ and I am still getting 
this problem.  Now it it not directly pertaining to Service either, basicaly 
when I switch things around, matt-idc$ will replace one of the 4 groups, if 
I only become a member of one group, it replaces it, if I become a member of 
2 it replaces one of them.  I can;t seem to fix ti at all.  Anyone ever had 
this problem?

Hi Matt-

I have a bit different script specified to add the machine, and from what I can
tell it is working as needed. My machines end up in the passwd file, not the
group file in /etc.

add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
