[Samba] winbind cache seems to change the group membership of a user
Hi, I'm using the "ChrootDirectory" option for the sshd daemon to jail my ssh users. Additionally, I'm using the "Match group" option to only jail people belonging to a specific active directory group. Here are the relevant lines of the sshd_config file: LogLevel Debug3 Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group sftpusers ChrootDirectory /my/chroot/home ForceCommand internal-sftp sftpusers is an active directory group. I logged me in with a user belonging to that group. The first time, the user will only see the home directories of the other jailed users, so, the real root path won't be showed. However, if I log a second time, I will see that I'm in "/my/chroot/home" and thus, I will be able to go to the real root. After looking at the auth.log file, I saw that the second time that the user logged in, this is shown: debug 1: user testuser does not match group list sftpusers at line 86 So, it seems that the group membership is changed in the winbind cache. Adding this line into my smb.conf file solved the problem only if I login one second later: Winbind cache time = 1 I really don't like this since I have some accounts, which are shared by two users, so, if they login at the same time, one of them will see the real root. Setting winbind to zero, just causes that the user can't login. I also tried to create a local unix group called sftpusers and map the domain group to the linux one, but it also don't work. The only way I found to solve it was to match users instead of groups into the sshd_config file; however, this isn't the best way of solve it if you have several servers where you use the same setup. Is this is some kind of bug? Or is there any other way of solving it? Best regards Josef
