Hi,
today I have experienced some odd behavior of samba 2.2.5 on Solaris 8, SPARC.
the machine is an FSC Primepower 400, running solaris 8 with system locale to
english (us)
1.
My first problem is with german special charachters within nt user names
Let's assume I have an account named 'h?nig' (haenig)
# wbinfo -u
shows domain and account names of all configured domain users (inc. mine).
# getent passwd
looks good to:
...
COSIFAN+H?nig:x:10007:10000:Thomas H?nig:/nt_ressourcen/users/h?nig:/bin/bash
...
I was able to create a (home) directoy with this name.
But if I tried to modify the directories owner ('chown') it does not
work.
(the current locale settings are all for German).
excerpt from /usr/local/samba/var/log.winbindd:
[2002/07/25 12:54:51, 3] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(104)
[ 557]: getpwnam COSIFAN+H?nig/
[2002/07/25 12:55:01, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(120)
user 'COSIFAN+H?nig' does not exist
If logged on to a nt machine I am unable to mount my homedir:
log.nmbd:
[2002/07/25 13:10:58, 3]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_registration_request(237)
process_name_registration_request: Name registration for name H?NIG<03>
IP
194.173.236.63 on subnet 194.173.236.33
whereas I see a weird character between 'H' and 'NIG' instead of
my (the
german) special character for 'ae'
log.winbindd
[2002/07/25 13:11:52, 3] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(104)
[ 557]: getpwnam COSIFAN+h
[2002/07/25 13:11:52, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(120)
user 'h' does not exist
[2002/07/25 13:11:52, 3] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(104)
[ 557]: getpwnam h
[2002/07/25 13:11:52, 3] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(104)
[ 557]: getpwnam H
... inclusive the character everything is cut off from my name, so it won't
work.
excerpt from smb.conf:
...
template homedir = /nt_ressourcen/users/%U
[homes]
comment = Heimatverzeichnis
path=/nt_ressourcen/users/%U
...
2.
the second one has directly to do with 'winbind'
if I add winbind to the passwd entry in nsswitch.conf, I am no longer able to
modify a local users password via 'passwd'.
I haven't touched PAM (need only NT-shares).
bash-2.03# passwd thomas
Supported configurations for passwd management are as follows:
passwd: files
passwd: files ldap
passwd: files nis
passwd: files nisplus
passwd: compat
passwd: compat AND
passwd_compat: ldap OR
passwd_compat: nisplus
Please check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file
Permission denied
Is there any idea (besides 'files [!NOTFOUND=return] winbind'),
Thanks a lot
Thomas
