0001838: valid users = @group doesn\'t work?!?
Hi. I recently upgraded to the CSW samba 3.0.23b, but after installation and converting of our smb.conf I found that some shares are not accessible anymore. After a short investigation it seems that all the shares with \"valid users\" setting to an NIS group doesn\'t work anymore.

Is you samba version compiled with NIS support, because that\'s what is suggested in the samba manual if problem accur with that open. However, it works if I just enter usernames. but Groupnames either with @group or &group or even +group doesn\'t work unfortunatly :(

Can you reproduce that?

I can also confirm that this problem exists.
From the release notes on samba.org regarding 3.0.23c, it appears to be a common problem with 3.0.23b. Upgrading the code to 3.0.23c should fix it.
I am running Solaris 10, current with patches as of 9/29/2006, with all csw packages installed current as of same date.
I had to create AD groups that contained the same users as the local groups, in order to keep connectivity.
