samba - Sep 2004 - curious behavior

Howdy People,

I have a small problem with my redhat9-samba3.05 setup.
I have various shares which have access to them by

valid user = @unixgroup

Some of the users in any particular group can get access whilst others cant.
The curious thing is that this setup worked happily for some months and
then, suddenly, it doesn't.

I am now forced to list the users indivdually .

I am open to ideas .

Any and all help appreciated.

Check to see if the affected ID is affected on all workstations...

If so -> Check for syntax errors in /etc/group
If not -> Then...

Are all ID's affected on the one computer?

If so and you are doing PDC -> Consider the possability that your PDC machine
account stuff is unhappy. Remove the machine entry from /etc/passwd and
/etc/samba/smbpasswd and rejoin the domain
(assuming you have a vaild add computer script)

Just some random thoughts...
