+<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Richard Couture at 14/12/12 01:24 did gyre and gimble:
+&gt;<i> While teaching a class in admin of GNU &amp; Linux I noted that
+</I>&gt;<i> systemctl reload smbd.service does NOT reread the /etc/group file.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> When adding a new user to a group which in smb.conf grants them access
+</I>&gt;<i> to a share, it was necessary to restart the service in order to grant
+</I>&gt;<i> the new group members access.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> It seems odd that samba is caching /etc/group and if so, odder that it
+</I>&gt;<i> can't reread it during a reload...
+</I>
+It would be very strange if samba were reading /etc/group directly
+anyway I think. Shouldn't it delicate to the nsswitch/getent() system?
+
+Does kill -HUP make the problem go away? If so then there is a problem
+in the systemd unit file or initscript (depending what smb has). Also if
+the initscript does something different on reload than the native
+systemd unit then, again, that is a bug.
+
+Failing that, perhaps (assuming it's running) samba is using nscd (name
+service cashing daemon) in which case you may need to do a &quot;nscd -i
+group&quot; to invalidate the group cache.
