[Samba] winbind idmap backend = ad : repeated error 'could not read attribute mssfu30gidnumber'
Hello, I have several servers running winbind v3.0.22 with 'idmap backend = ad' and 'winbind nss info = sfu' with no noticable problems except that /var/log/samba/log.winbindd-idmap repeatedly has lines the read like this: [2007/04/30 11:20:19, 1] sam/idmap_ad.c:ad_idmap_get_id_from_sid(329) ad_idmap_get_id_from_sid: ads_pull_uint32: could not read attribute 'msSFU30GidNumber' This mailing list thread: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-October/126484.html found the cause of this symptom to be that the msad domain 'authenticated user' didn't have read permission on the attribute. I don't think that's the problem in my case (but am not sure my test is valid): Using openldap's ldapsearch, I authenticated as a unprivileged domain user, and was able to read the msSFU30GidNumber attribute. Any idea what the problem is, what it affects, and how to resolve it? Thanks, Jon
