Please note that the result of the "id" command (or the "groups" command as well) is different if it is run by root or by the user.

As root :
# id david  : gives only the primary groups membership

As regular user :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] id : gives the full membership of all "groups in groups" managed by winbind and A.D.

at least under Debian (Etch + Sarge).

But it seems that winbind on some occasions doesn't use the right credentials to resolve nested groups. I have to tweak security in Active Directory to gi ve additionnal "Read Permission" rights in Active Directory in order to make it work, otherwise I only get primary groups. Or it may be our active directory that is broken.

of these combinations produce all groups on the CentOS server.

        winbind use default domain = Yes

May not be much help but out of curiosity I tried the same test on a Samba server that is also a member of an NT4 domain. It is running 3.0.24 plus the 6 Vista patches on a Gentoo server.

I don't use the "winbind use default domain = Yes" in smb.conf, but I did test that way as well. Also I didn't change the default seperator.

With the "normal" setup (winbind use default domain = No):
--------------------------------------
id DOMAINNAME\\username - shows all groups

id DOMAINNAME\\USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - only primary group

id username - returns "No such user"

id USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - returns "No such user"
--------------------------------------

If I set "winbind use default domain = Yes" then:
--------------------------------------
id DOMAINNAME\\username - only primary group

id DOMAINNAME\\USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - only primary group

id username - shows all groups

id USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - only primary group
--------------------------------------

EDITED to add the other cases (id USERNAME).
