Im getting basically to "bugs" into my samba ... im using samba-3.0.2a
(planning to upgrade soon, but atm i cant stop the service)
im using log level = 10
my basic problem is:
May 10 09:42:13 smb smbd[850]: [2004/05/10 09:42:13, 0]
groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139)

Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
i have looked into mapping.c and found this:
tdb = tdb_open_log(lock_path("group_mapping.tdb"), 0, TDB_DEFAULT,
O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600);
if (!tdb) {
DEBUG(0,("Failed to open group mapping database\n"));
return False;
tdb = tdb_open_log(lock_path("group_mapping.tdb"), 0, TDB_DEFAULT,
O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600);
if (!tdb) {
DEBUG(0,("Failed to open group mapping database\n"));
return False;
as far as i can see its uses mode 0600 and i dont know why it starts bugging me,
i have tried the following steps to see it could solve the problem, but it
didnt.
smb:/usr/local/samba/var/locks# ls -l group_mapping.tdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 8192 May 10 05:47 group_mapping.tdb
everyone can read, and i still get those problems, as far as i can see thats the
file.
smb:/usr/local/samba/var/locks# find / -name group_mapping.tdb -print
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/group_mapping.tdb
and because of this problem i think it aint executing the netlogon most of the
times that happens (if i logon again with the user, the problem is solved) since
i use my netlogon based on groups and many of my shares are based too, if samba
cant map it, i will get troubles.
this samba server is already in production so i cant "play" with it
unless i warn first. hope i can get this problem solved.

and this one which aint too bad:
for no reason i get sometimes those lines:
