[Bug 553142] [NEW] gdm does not obey NIS settings for user groups

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: gdm

if I login through gdm, I only belong to the following groups:

$ groups
kotowicz adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare vboxusers

If I login into the same machine through ssh, I belong to the following
groups:

$ groups
kotowicz adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare vboxusers Rich Nsc

as you can see, the groups 'Rich' and 'Nsc' have been added. 
In previous ubuntu versions (9.10), logging through gdm was adding me to the correct groups.
