I am running winbind from samba 3.0.10-1 on fedora 3 boxes authenticating to a
microsoft 2k3 domain controller. If I do a 'getent passwd' or a
'wbinfo -u', I
get a nice long list of names and can then log in to the linux machines with a
windows account. If I wait a few minutes, I can no longer log in with the same
account - even though running 'wbinfo -a <username>%<password>
returns:
plaintext password authentication succeeded
challenge/response password authentication succeeded
At this point, even if I try a 'chown <fname> <username>', I
get:
chown: `<username>': invalid user
Am I right in assuming that the chown command has nothing to do with pam, so the
problem can't be there? For any of the above commands, the linux box and
the
windows machine exchange a bunch of packets (which I haven't yet had time to
look at closely). The 'password' line in the nsswitch file is just:
passwd: files winbind
Re-running the user enumeration will re-allow logins and the chown command for
another few minutes. I have tried clearing the /var/cache/samba database and
restarting winbind to no avail. There is no nscd daemon running. Anyone have
any other suggestions?
