Hello,

Samba apparently does not recognize Linux secondary groups.

Samba _will_ let a Windows user (who has a corresponding Linux user account)
look into a directory that is accessible only by the user's primary group (as
you'd expect), but it will _not_ let them look into a directory that is
accessible only by the same user's secondary group, even though the same user
can access the directory from within a Linux shell (i.e., they can 'cd' to
it).

Thanks 

Regards,

Komal
