I had similar problems with getent on one of my servers. After some investigation, I had forgotten to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to add winbind to the users and groups there. Wbinfo worked great, nothing from getent. After the change, and a restart of winbind (don't know if that was necessary or not) all was well.

Maybe I'll rephrase it shorter : 1) eventhough 'wbinfo -g' gives me the correct groups, they do not show up when I go 'getent group'. Can it be the spaces in the Samba groups 'Domain Admins' and 'Domain Users'? Where is the information about these groups stored on the Samba pdc? 2) I only get winbind to do it's job (which is connecting to a local share on the domain member with a winbind user) when I a) set the parameter 'winbind cache timeout = 0' OR b) create the user locally on the domain member, which is of course what we try to avoid by using winbind... any idea's why playing with the cache timeout causes a difference?
