...in at a high level these days. Anyhow, thanks for any help. Original Message: Hello everyone, I did a little searching and didn't come up with much on this. I just upgraded our Samba server from 2.2.3a to 2.2.8a to get it running on the latest 2.2.x release. After doing this, "Unable to initgroups, Error was Input/output error" messages are showing up in all the smbd log files (except log.smbd) regularly. We've never had this problem before with 2.2.3a. Example: [2003/10/30 07:54:16, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244) Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error [2003...

...ucture. If the gets authenticated using PAM through pam_winbind we authencticate the user against our DC, get correct access token and cache it. However the openssh server doesn't update the passwd structure after a successful PAM authentication, it sets up the user context (setuid, setgid, initgroups) using the outdated information stored in the session structure. The openssh server should update the passwd structure using getpwuid() before it sets up the users context (setuid, setgid, initgroups)! This is probably easy to fix, the question is when you want to call getpwuid() directly afte...

...Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: sshd AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org ReportedBy: dleonard at vintela.com The early call to setpcred() in do_setusercontext() seems to drop the euid to the user's uid on AIX5.1. This stops the future call to initgroups() from working if setpcred() doesn't get the supplementary group list right. Which it doesn't with PAM. The symptoms are a 'successful' login, but the session exits immediately, with sshd logging "initgroups: Permission denied". setpcred() must still be called at some st...

...nd group is correctly activated, all the other groups that are associated with this user are not enabled and the group permissions remain the same as the caller (i.e. root). This problem (and solution) is discussed in the Ruby Forum: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/110492 It seems that Process.initgroups needs to be called in order for the user''s group permissions to be properly activated.

...r. We could store index files on the NFS device, but this would affect performance (and might cause locking problems). A better solution would be to make the uid one of the variables available in default_mail_env. By naming index files by uid rather than username, this wouldn't be an issue. 2. initgroups() We use an nss-mysql to store all non-administrative system users in a mysql database. We often encounter problems with applications that use the initgroups() function, since this returns all users and groups - which in our case returns masses of data from mysql. When using mysql (or ldap etc) fo...
