Hello everyone, I asked about this problem a few days ago because I am at a loss as to what is causing it. Below is the message I posted.

We have the following fix that appears to work: In the source/nsswitch/wb_client.c file modify the winbind_initgroups function with the following change: change the call initgroups(user,gid) to setgroups(1,&gid) Any comments or perhaps a better fix? -----Original Message----- From: Slawinski, Robert [mailto:SlawinsR@ncr.disa.mil] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:16 AM To:

The samba is used to store the profiles for both the terminalservers and for the windows 2000/xp clients. I use winbind and have joined the server to the domain without problem. I can set rights on directories and so on. However from time to time when the
