[Samba] getent problems with new Samba version

Are there any idmap settings?
Gaiseric, thanks for your response. the `testparm -v` gave me:

private dir = /var/lib/samba/private

So, I guess that means the sam.ldb in that directory is the one being used, not
the one in
/etc/samba/private.  That helps.  Thanks for that tip.  The newer Samba 4.4.8
must have somehow
been smart enough to find the 4.2.12 sam.ldb in /etc/samba/private and copy it
over to the new
location because there was no /var/lib/samba/private with my 4.2.12, and the
contents of both
sam.ldb's is the same including changes I made.

/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb, /etc/samba/private/sam.ldb and RSAT/ADUC all
show the "correct"
UID:GIDs for users, for example 10001:10000. 

So, if Samba 4.4.8 "is using winbind to allocate uid's", how can I
make it stop that and use
the ids actually configured in sam.ldb? That's the question, basically: why
is windbind (or
whatever) arbitrarily generating UID:GIDs instead of using the configured ids?
You are likely
right on this too.  As Rowland Penny wrote on 10/11/2015 17:15, "wbinfo
goes straight to
winbind, which goes to where you have told it to.  getent goes via nssswitch,
...". and wbinfo
still returns:

$ wbinfo -i mark
HPRS\mark:*:3000026:100:Mark Foley:/home/HPRS/mark:/bin/bash 

Rowland said, "winbind ... goes to where you have told it to". Where
would that be? Apparently
not sam.ldb.

One possible clue here might be that the 30000xx:100 range were the defaults
that Samba4
initially used by default when I provisioned my domain in 2014. I changed these
to facilitate
single-sign-on on other Linux domain members per Rowland Penny's suggestion:

He wrote elsewhere how to make that change using ldbedit, which I did, and it
all worked
perfectly then.  Now, the current version seems to have reverted to default
UID:GID and is
ignoring sam.ldb settings. 

So, any ideas on why and how I can fix it?

You may be right on this. To test, I changed the /etc/passwd UID for user mark,
then did the
`getent` on the domain member and it still shows the correct UID:GID
10001:10000.

[Samba] getent problems with new Samba version

No, I would say it is dumb enough to try, just who thought it was a
good idea to do this ?

If you read the slackware file 'doinst.sh', there is this:

# Since /etc/samba/private/ has moved to /var/lib/samba/private, migrate any
# important files if possible:
if [ -d etc/samba/private -a -d var/lib/samba/private ]; then
  for file in etc/samba/private/* ; do
    if [ -r "$file" -a ! -r "var/lib/samba/private/$(basename
$file)" ]; then
      mv "$file" var/lib/samba/private
    fi
  done
  # Might as well try to eliminate this directory, since it should be empty:
  rmdir etc/samba/private 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
fi

Now on the face of it, this should work, but I cannot see anywhere that
Samba was stopped before moving the files. There is also the problem
that the paths do not start with '/'

I created a simple test script:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d usr/local/samba ]; then
    echo "/usr/local/samba exists"
else
    echo "not found"
fi

exit 0

Made it executable and ran it and got 'not found'

Altered the test script by adding '/' to the front of the path and ran
the script again and got '/usr/local/samba exists'

What does 'samba -b' show for 'PRIVATE_DIR' ?

When I said that, I meant how Samba was configured would tell winbind
where to look.

Have you tried checking in AD with ldbsearch or ldbedit for the actual
records ?

I can't imagine why they would change the location of a crucial directory
like this!!!

Where is this file? I have no doinst.sh on my entire system, nor do I find it on
the Slackware
14.2 installation DVD.

I'm pretty sure I didn't copy this directory over. Come to think of it,
when I restarted with
the new version my DNS wasn't working (see next comment). I found that the
/etc/samba/private
folder was missing altogether. I restored that directory from backup and DNS
started working
again. So, either that doinst.sh script got run automatically somehow, or the
Samaba executable
knew to do this, and removed the /etc/samba/private directory.

After some testing, I will remove the old /etc/samba/private folder.  In
addition to .ldb
stuff, the original Samba provisioning step created (or advised?) a named.conf
file to include
the following line:

include "/etc/samba/private/named.conf";

wherein all the Samba DNS stuff was originally created.  I've modified my
/etc/named.conf to
now point to /var/lib/samba/private and will remove /etc/samba/private when
I'm sure of this.
This "change" affects a lot of stuff!! :(

So, where is winbind looking?

Yes, I've done `ldbedit -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb` (and ldbsearch)
and among other
settings for user 'mark' I have:

uidNumber: 10001
gidNumber: 10000

winbind or whatever is simply not looking there.

Is there a solution?
