Problem with winbind and AD - AD groups not being displayed with getent group

Tags: Public Domain, AD and Winbind, Centos Linux 5.2 and AD 2003
Hi, I have an AD domain to which I want to attach a samba file server. I am setting up common auth using winbind and samba. So far I have been able to join the domain with the samba server and I can see users with wbinfo -u.

My problem is that when I look for AD groups using getent group I see only local linux groups listed. I have modified the nsswitch.conf file as recommended and krb5 seems to be running OK. Time sync between the two machines is OK.
