** Description changed:

  I´m using LDAP for groups and NFS for home dirs. My problem is as
  follows:
  
  I only have a few groups, so it's not the problem everyone else had.
  When I've mounted a disk over NFS, I need to have my primary group in
  order to read in the groups I'm a member of. Secondary groups is not
  working.
  
  Code:
  
  r...@machine:/home/user# smbldap-groupshow secret
  ...
  gidNumber: 1504
  displayName: secret
  memberUid: user,anotheruser
  
  r...@machine:/home/user# su - user
  
  u...@machine:~$ groups
  users secret
  
  u...@machine:~$ ls -ald ../secret/
  drwxr-x--- 12 anotheruser secret 4096 2009-07-27 15:39 ../secret/
  
  u...@machine:~$ cd ../secret/
  bash: cd: ../secret/: Permission denied
  
  u...@machine:~$ ls ../secret/
  ls: cannot open directory ../secret/: Permission denied
  
  But it works if I change the group to primary by hand with newgrp:
  
  Code:
  
  u...@machine:~$ newgrp secret
  u...@machine:~$ cd ../secret/
  u...@machine:/home/secret$ ls
  Nice secrets.txt
  
  But my users cannot be expected to do this!
  
  The server where the real files are held (the NFS server) do not know
  anything about users. And it shouldn´t, it´s only job is to export files
  via NFS and do backups.
  
- Description:  Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
- Release:      9.10
+ I've tested this on clients: 9.10 Karmic, 9.04 Jaunty, 8.10 Intrepid
  
- I'm truly brushed off my feet, I didn't know our server ran karmic
- (!!!), I don't know what the other sysadmin was thinking. Anyway, it may
- very well be related to that.
+ The NFS server is running: 9.04 Jaunty.
