I have a Mandrake 10.0 Official server running Samba3, Shorewall, Squid 2.5, Postfix and Courier-IMAP. Samba uses winbind to authenticate mail and proxy users against a windows 2000 ADS server. I get corruption happening in the user's home directories and elsewhere. The directory ownership changes all the time. One moment a dir belongs to roland:Domain Users and the next moment it's marjou:elahyl. The group and userid change, causing absolute havoc with mail delivery as wrong mail lands in people's mailboxes and users cannot be authenticated. My senior support technician is on honeymoon so I'm stuck. Restarting services makes no difference. If I run "getent passwd username" the results are 100% correct. Also for "getend group groupname". Has anynone expereinced this or know of a fix. I'm somewhat clueless on some aspects, like I cannot check the version of Samba, since the doesn't appear to be a command switch for this. thanks Roland

For you, this results in a change of the owner/group of the files. Christoph
I run a network for a school as part of my duties and cannot resolve this problem. If I haven't given enough technical detail, please let me know, but I really need help with this.
