I have posted with this error/bug before, so now i am back at it again. I am having a problem with samba, winbindd and groups. If a users is in a large number of groups i get the following error when they try to connect to the samba server Oct 31 18:00:44 localhost smbd[11086]: [2002/10/31 18:00:44, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244) Oct 31 18:00:44 localhost smbd[11086]: Unable to initgroups. Error was Operation not permitted Oct 31 18:03:17 localhost smbd[11091]: [2002/10/31 18:03:17, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244) Oct 31 18:03:17 localhost smbd[11091]: Unable to initgroups. Error was Operation not permitted Oct 31 18:03:19 localhost smbd[11091]: [2002/10/31 18:03:19, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244) Oct 31 18:03:19 localhost smbd[11091]: Unable to initgroups. Error was Operation not permitted Oct 31 18:03:23 localhost smbd[11091]: [2002/10/31 18:03:23, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244) Oct 31 18:03:23 localhost smbd[11091]: Unable to initgroups. Error was Operation not permitted They cannot connect to any of the shares now. How do i fix this? I am using samba-2.2.6 RedHat 7.3 Kernel 2.4.19 libgcc-3.0.1-3 What other info do you need to help fix this problem. Even if someone would write me back and tell me that i'm totally screwed, that would be better than nothing. I will say that this is the first time that i have posted a question to the net and no one could respond to it. Is this something that only i am having problems with?
