Hello, I'm trying to get a Samba to work on a Sun Solaris10 SPARC. The Samba has to be a Domain member in order to use the NT-Users and Groups. So I need winbind. The preinstalled Samba, winbind is not compiled in and the precompiled Samba on sunfreeware.com is nether delivered with the libnss_winbind.so. So I compiled my own one. I tried with 3.0.20a, 3.0.22 and 3.0.24. ./configure --with-acl-support --with-winbind --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.0.24 Any of them works fine except the important thing that non of the nested Groups are recognized for the NT-Users. My domain was migrated from NT4 to ADS before I start trying to get a Samba to work. ADS is configured with backward compatibility to NT4. Wbinfo and (with "winbind enum groups = yes" and "winbind enum users = yes") also getent gifs me any of the NT-Users and -Groups. But if I do an id <NT-USER> or if I do a simple id as an NT-User, I only get the UID and the GID no entry in groups. root@mars /etc/samba # id sbzvzgdom+bm uid=15015(SBZVZGDOM+bm) gid=15000(SBZVZGDOM+domain users) root@mars /etc/samba # su sbzvzgdom+bm SBZVZGDOM+bm@mars /etc/samba $ id uid=15015(SBZVZGDOM+bm) gid=15000(SBZVZGDOM+domain users) In order that this do not work, I don't have permission from Windows on a directory or File witch I had gif the permission for a NT-Group, witch the user are member of. root@mars /etc/samba # getent group sbzvzgdom+abt_edv SBZVZGDOM+abt_edv:x:15008:SBZVZGDOM+dp,SBZVZGDOM+aa,SBZVZGDOM+tv,SBZVZGDOM+hb,SBZVZGDOM+lc,SBZVZGDOM+mr,SBZVZGDOM+rr,SBZVZGDOM+alpha,SBZVZGDOM+musterx,SBZVZGDOM+bta,SBZVZGDOM+orasaturn,SBZVZGDOM+orapluto,SBZVZGDOM+rn,SBZVZGDOM+sm,SBZVZGDOM+bm,SBZVZGDOM+mn root@mars /etc/samba # getfacl /u02/windows_home_dirs # file: /u02/windows_home_dirs # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x #effective:r-x group:SBZVZGDOM+abt_edv:rwx #effective:rwx mask:rwx other:--- default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:group:SBZVZGDOM+abt_edv:rwx default:mask:rwx default:other:--- I know that there is a Bug report at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3990 and fundamentally that describes exactly the Problem I'm fighting with. But one of the comment says that this Problem begins wit Version 3.0.23 and didn't occur with 3.0.22. In my case none of the Versions works, so maybe my Problem is an other one. That's the output of testparm: root@mars /etc/samba # /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba-3.0.24/lib/smb.conf Can't find include file /etc/samba/smb.conf.0.0.0.0 Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[windows_home_dirs]" Processing section "[windows_profiles]" Loaded services file OK.
