samba - Jan 2008 - Upgrade from SLES9 3.0.20 to 3.0.26a breaks getent

All -

This evening I attempted to catch up on security releases and upgraded from
SLES9 3.0.20 to 3.0.26a and found that getent only returns local UNIX
groups and users. We are using winbind to communicate with an NT domain.
The server has been restarted and services are running. Using wbinfo -u and
-g does provide NT domain groups and users as expected and net rpc testjoin
result is OK. I have checked config files and they appear OK. What have I
missed?

Hello Bob,

I recently saw similair problems updating CentOS 4 (whitle label RE4) to 
3.0.25c. See tread IDMAP RID problems and documentation started on 19 dec

But I didn't receive the answers I was looking for. For me, using the the 
new syntax with RID broke getent. With using this old syntax I got it back 
working. But this setup misses the BUILTIN groups and the  new advertised 
features......
smb.conf snipped
    [global]
        idmap backend = rid
        idmap uid = 1000-1000000
        idmap gid = 1000-1000000

So maybe one of the experts can shine a light on this, because it's looks 
like this problems occurs on several differnt  older distro's.

Regards,

Hello John,

Thank you for the response. I also tried making changes to the idmap 
options but
it did not solve my problem. My problem was due to winbind enumeration of 
users
and groups. It appears that the default had changed from "Yes" to
"No"
since 3.0.20.
Once the entries were added to smb.conf, getent worked again.

Regards,

Bob
