[Samba] Primary and secondary group issues with Vintela VAS and Samba
I'm wondering if anyone on the Samba mailing list has seen this problem with Vintela VAS and Samba. ---------- The problem I am having is that Vintela VAS knows about the groups in AD but Samba only seems to recognize a user's primary group in AD. So, if I chgrp a file or directory in Solaris to anything other than a user's primary group and share it out via samba, a user is not able to access the file or directory even though they are a member of the group I used. We're able to view the groups via "/opt/vas/bin/vastool list groups" without a problem. system specs: Solaris 10 VAS 2.6SP4 Samba 3.0.21b heimdal kerberos libraries 0.7.1 /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files vas group: files vas We followed the following instructions for installation: http://rc.vintela.com/topics/samba/howto-heimdal.php so in short vas + solaris = works great! vas + solaris + samba = doesn't work except for the primary group. It's a longshot to post this to the Samba mailing list, but any suggestions would greatly help! -marc
