[Samba] winbind fails to list all groups with adminCount not set
samba version 3.0.10 Windows ADS in native mode Hello all, We have samba running on a cluster with 65K users and groups. Some of these (security-) groups contain other (security-) groups that contain the useraccounts. Those "meta-groups" are only listed for some users. Example: group A contains group B, and group B contains user A. The following script will list the groups that a user is a member of: ============================8<================================#!/bin/bash gids=$(wbinfo -r $1) retval=$? if [ $retval -ne 0 ]; then echo wbinfo returned an error >&2 exit $retval fi for g in $gids do echo $(wbinfo -s $(wbinfo -G $g)) done ===========================8<=================================== It will only list both groups A and B if the windows LDAP attribute "adminCount" is set. If this attribute is not set then the script will only show group B. I confirmed this for many users without exception. To check if adminCount is set or not I used this command: ldapsearch -D <binddn> \ -w <password> -h <windows-ads> -x -b \ cn=<username>,cn=Users,dc=... Microsoft says in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_admincount.asp "Indicates that a given object has had its ACL's changed to a more secure value by the system because it was a member of one of the administrative groups (directly or transitively)." and this attribute is set "When an object is added to an administrative group." The attribute is set by the system and you cannot set it via a frontend (I tried gq). To be honest I don't know what I have to do to set this attribute. But my question is: Why does winbind only list all groups if this attribute is set? Hope you can help, Peter
