Thanks for your reply Craig.
Yes, getent DOES show the group and users correctly and yes, I have
tried switching the nsswitch.conf file to:
group: ldap files nis
but that does not work either.
What DOES work, I found this out a little while ago, is setting the
directory to the GID within LDAP like:
chown :5011 /home/test
5011 is the name of the group with the number of users above 60 or 70.
Samba will authenticate correctly like this.
Any group with the total user count below that number, (60 or 70), will
allow me to use the actual name of the group but
if you go above that number in the secondary groups, it does not
recognize the name on ANY Redhat machine that I have in production.
As I stated earlier, I have no problem on Mandrake 8.2

This isn't a Red Hat problem - I do this all the time. This is a
configuration problem.
getent group #does it list the groups in /etc/group first and then
#the groups in LDAP?
chmod problems? are you trying to change the mount? The mount is owned
by whomever made the mount
just to show you that it works on samba...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# mkdir test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# chown "Craig White"."Domain Users" test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# ls -l
total 14
