Well, I finally found out what whas wrong: there was an old +::: entry
in /etc/group. After removing that entry and logging in again, the
problem was solved. After some fiddling I noticed that permissions
worked ok with the +::: entry for some groups but not for other groups.

So, if using nis && a bogus +::: entry is in /etc/group && kernel is
2.6.x, then group permissions don't work as expected for *some* groups
in directories that are on an nfs-mounted filesystem.
