We are in the process of updating samba on our Solaris servers from (2.0.5) to (3.0.2) I have completed one host and all seems to working ok. However I have noticed that for both versions of samba, as users map shares the smbd process which starts can be either own by root or the users id. This seems to be random. Can anyone shed light as to what controls the owner of this process. This is

I am running Samba version 3.0.9-1.3E.2 on a server that is joined to a windows server 2003 domain using ADS security. The samba server hosts a share called 'files'. I am having problems mounting this share using a new account I set up. getent passwd shows the information for the new account as does wbinfo -u. Mounting the share with the new users account using the net use command

Hi I have the following question: Joining Win200x as ADS/DOMAIN, I see no problems for windows users to get authenticated even if they don't have local accounts. However, with the same samba (3.06) joining NT4 SP6 domain I see that only users that also have entry in /etc/passwd are been authenticated. I followed winbindd traces and saw that there is no problem communicating with

As of RC3 and RC4, I've noticed that winbindd's wb_getpwuid function is using the form <FQDN-domain><winbind-seperator><username>, and before, it was simply <NetBIOS-domain><winbind-seperator><username>. The net effect of what I'm seeing is that users which have a UNIX account locally on the samba box and also a domain account are being

Winbindd is having trouble finding the Domain Admins group in my domain. It appears to be searching for the group but does not show what domain it's looking into - then it tries the local PC (ANC-Gentoo): log.winbind: [2004/01/07 13:20:43, 3] nsswitch/winbindd_group.c:winbindd_getgrnam(237) [23792]: getgrnam Domain Admins [2004/01/07 13:20:43, 5] nsswitch/winbindd_acct.c:wb_getgrnam(522)

I've gotten passed the problem I had with joining the domain. However, I am still having problems with the authentication of domain user accounts against the samba server. wbinfo -u shows my users from the domain correctly. wbinfo -g does the same for my domain groups. getent passwd shows the domain users as expected. wbinfo -t shows a good trust. wbinfo -a allows me to authenticate any

I am running Samba 3.0.9/KRB5 1.4 on Centos 3.4 on x86 with security = ADS in a Win2k3 domain. I have successfully used kinit to authenticate, joined the domain, and wbinfo -g/-u/-t return the expected results. However, when I try and access the samba shares from a Win2k3 box, it fails telling me I don't have permissions to access the share. Needless to say I am thoroughly perplexed. I have

I just upgraded from 3.0.23d to 3.0.25 and I'm noticing that winbind is chewing up a lot of CPU usage. There are always 2 winbindd processes and one uses about 80% cpu and the other use 15% cpu. When I run a tcpdump and look at the traffic going to/from the domain controller winbindd is connected to, there is a constant flow of traffic. Here is the winbind setup from my smb.conf file:

I want to limit access to shares via windows groups but when I set a share to anything other than 'valid users = %S' or 'valid users =', I cannot access the share. The error message indicates that the share is not accessible and I may not have sufficient permissions. If I change just the valid users in smb.conf and restart smb, I get right in without prompting. I also found that I

Hi, today I have experienced some odd behavior of samba 2.2.5 on Solaris 8, SPARC. the machine is an FSC Primepower 400, running solaris 8 with system locale to english (us) 1. My first problem is with german special charachters within nt user names Let's assume I have an account named 'h?nig' (haenig) # wbinfo -u shows domain and account names of all configured domain users (inc.

Hi I have a problem with an interdomain trust where on the PDC for DomainA, everything works perfectly. getent returns local and DomainB usernames. On the PDC for DomainB, it's DomainB works fine, but getent only returns local usernames and groups, it doesn't return the usernames or groups for DomainA. wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work fine and return all DomainA's usernames and groups.

Hi, I have reported this(and seen similar problems by others) before. I took the plunge today and trace into the source to see what happened. The result seems to be that winbind(or the nsswitch part) would never work in a PDC/BDC situation, only for other trusted domain(probably). Below is my analysis. I have setup nsswitch.conf and pam.d/login properly so libnss_winbind and pam_winbind are

We have a problem with our setup that exposed another problem in winbindd. Setup: Samba 3.0.1, openLDAP 1.2.23 for idmap backend using port 1389, security=ads (w2k). All works after we get the daemons started successfully. The first issue has to do with the initial setup of both a Samba server [smbd, nmbd, winbindd, slapd], and a Samba client [just nmbd and winbindd]. We do the

I am trying to get user authentication in a 200X AD to have domain users see the samba shares (RH ES3, samba 3.0.9-1). I can see the shares, but when I try to access any of the shares, I get prompted for a username and password and this is what shows up in the log.winbindd file ------------------- [2004/12/29 08:17:37, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(161) user 'robl' does

Dear samba list, For some time we've had servers connecting to a w2k3 r2 server via ADS setup. Wins was working fine and users were able to authenticate. Recently we've added a GFS like system. This required getting the UID/GID's unified. Suggestions were made on the samba IRC channel to install SFU on the PDC. I'm receiving some very strange output. Usernames/pwd have

Was: RE: [Samba] samba 3.0 and freebsd 5.1 Hi Aaron, I deinstalled the 3.0.1 port and got the source tarball for 3.0.2a and installed from there. I also swapped out 3.0.1 for 3.0.2 on the domain controller when I discovered the second problem. I can now use smbclient to log into a file share on the member server, giving an " smb: \> " prompt but doing ls gives an error of:

Hi, I have an odd problem with winbind. I use it for, among other thing, nsswitch user resolution. I believe it have a problem with accessing information for a single user, or with caching. When I request info for a specific user, it fail (trying to login also fail with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER). But it work when I request info for all users. And then, login and getent for single account start

I've got weird things happening with winbind authentication - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works for one username, and not for the other, sometimes it works for both, sometimes neither... I'm a departmental admin trying to authenticate against our central windows domain - so I've no control of the windows side. The client machine is a fresh redhat

Hello, I have two domains: - a domain FRANCE on a SAMBA PDC called "SARGE" - a domain DOMAINTEST on a Active Directory called "SRV2003-2" I followed the samba howto chapter on setting a domain trust relationship between this two domains. For now, I just want DOMAINTEST users to log on shares of the FRANCE domain. On Windows 2003 side, with the MMC I can check/revalidate

RedHAt 8,0 samba 2.2.7-2 from redhat rpms. This box is a file server for approximately 45 XP clients and is fairly active. Windbind is used to authenticate users from the pdc for the domain DOMAIN and works swimmingly. Beats the pants off the NT4 box tht it replaced two weeks ago. More of an irritation than anything, but the winbindd log is filling with messages like this: [2003/02/26
