Hi All,

I have encountered following issue after everything worked fine for a year:


        I have a unix directory /proj/admin  which group ownership is UNIX group of 
"engadm". In samba, I configured as following

        # This one is /proj/admin
        [admin]
                 comment = project admin
                 path = /proj/admin
                writable = yes
                valid users = @engadm
                create mode = 0664
                directory mode = 1775
                case sensitive = yes
                mangle case = yes
                strict locking = yes
The "admin" share only works when I have a UNIX account with primary group ID is 
"engadm". If I have an unix acccount with "engadm" as secondly UNIX group(which means 
the primary group is something else), it will keep prompting me usrname/passwd when I 
try to mount the share on my PCs. Then no matter what username/passwd I try, it always 
fails. 

If I do $ ./smbclient //js1/kitsdev -U username%passwd 
added interface ip=10.13.46.29 bcast=10.13.46.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[LOCERD01] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

If I change my unix account primary group to be "engadm", I'll have no issue:
 ./smbclient //js1/pdt2 -U username/passwd
added interface ip=10.13.46.29 bcast=10.13.46.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[LOCERD01] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a]
smb: \> 

I have to stresss again that this configuration worked fine until suddenly one day 
issue came out. All samba configuration has not been changed before and after the 
problem came along. Since I am a UNIX administrator, I do not have much idea  what 
happened to Windows environment. Please advise what could causes this failure.

Thanks
