I've built 4.15.6 on AIX 7.1 and have it mostly working. I've been following https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member as a recipe to set up the Samba server as a domain member. We set up a Windows 2016 server as an AD controller and joined the Samba server to it: # samba-tool domain join corp.thewrittenword.com MEMBER \ -U administrator # samba-tool dns add ging.corp.thewrittenword.com \ corp.thewrittenword.com gin A 10.191.57.119 -U administrator Our /etc/krb5.conf looks like: [libdefaults] default_realm = CORP.THEWRITTENWORD.COM dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = true And our smb.conf looks like: [global] dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.tab disable spoolss = Yes interfaces = 10.191.57.119/24 log file = /var/opt/TWWfsw/samba4156/log/log.%m log level = 10 netbios name = GIN realm = CORP.THEWRITTENWORD.COM security = ADS server role = member server timestamp logs = Yes username map = /etc/opt/TWWfsw/samba4156/user.map workgroup = CORP idmap config * : backend = autorid idmap config * : range = 10000-9999999 [tww] browseable = No comment = /opt/tww path = /opt/tww read only = No valid users = "@CORP\Domain Users" And our /etc/methods.cfg was updated with: WINBIND: program = /usr/lib/security/WINBIND where /usr/lib/security/WINBIND is a link to WINBIND.so. Testing this with wbinfo: # wbinfo -p Ping to winbindd succeeded # wbinfo -n tuser S-1-5-21-2866285624-3107755260-1414945603-1115 SID_USER (1) # wbinfo -u CORP\administrator CORP\guest CORP\defaultaccount CORP\krbtgt CORP\china CORP\tuser Testing with smbclient shows: $ smbclient '\\gin\tww' -U tuser Password for [CORP\tuser]: Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> get COMSpam_1.05.src.tgz NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \COMSpam_1.05.src.tgz I've tried this against 4.15.6 from a Fedora 35 server and the "get" works ok. Ditto against a custom build of 4.15.6 on Solaris 11.4/Intel. I've also tried earlier versions of Samba on AIX 7.1 such as 4.12.15, 4.13.7, and 4.14.12. All perform the "get" correctly. Seems an issue only with 4.15.6 on AIX. The only thing I see of interest in log.10.191.57.113 is: [2022/04/01 15:18:05.456146, 0] ../../source3/smbd/fd_handle.c:93(fsp_get_io_fd) fsp_get_io_fd: fsp [COMSpam_1.05.src.tgz] is a path referencing fsp I also see the following in log.winbindd-idmap: [2022/04/01 15:20:15.542063, 1] ../../source3/winbindd/idmap_autorid_tdb.c:348(idmap_autorid_getrange_int) Failed to read database record for key 'S-1-18': NT_STATUS_NOT_FOUND Any ideas? -- albert chin (china at thewrittenword.com)
