Greetings,

We are having some rights issues on Samba 3.6.18 running on Slackware64 14.0 (the official Slackware Package). One of our users is having access issues and I believe I have traced the problem to the following entry in the log.smbd:

 Primary group is 0 and contains 0 supplementary groups

Issuing the groups command for this user returns the 8 Linux groups in which the user has membership.

In researching this, I found another reference to this log entry for which the solution had to do with Windows groups and their relationship to local groups.

Since we are using Samba stand-alone, we do not create any Windows groups and use local Linux groups for privileges. (I'm assuming Samba can still be used this way.)

My question is: How does Samba calculate these group memberships?

I'll look through the source code and see what I can see, but I am no programming wizard, so I doubt I'll find what I need there.

Thanks!
Stu...
