similar to: nscd, ldap and the root/Administrator account

I've had problems with nscd crashing every few days on my CentOS 4 mail server for a while now. The problems started maybe around CentOS 4.2, although I don't remember for sure. My debugging efforts let me to disable nscd's persistent cache, and that seemed to work for a while, but since upgrading to CentOS 4.4, the crashes have started again. When nscd crashes, the rest of the

Does anyone know if there is a fix for nscd segfaulting after a short period of time. Googling for it came up with one result that suggested deleting the files in /var/db/nscd , but that didn't help. Another result was about run away processes which is not the problem I'm having. They are x86_64 boxes. output from /var/log/messages Oct 9 12:56:38 lyra kernel: nscd[11660]: segfault at

Has anyone had problems accessing random websites since going up to 6.4? Since about the day after I got partly upgraded, if I try to access nytimes.com, or orbitz.com, I get server not found. With a lot of work, I, my manager, and the other admin, found that setting options edns0 in /etc/resolv.conf fixed it - I suspect that the network folks updated their internal nameservers (which are M$)

Dear samba folks, I have a special question regarding the simultaneous operation of nscd and winbindd on the same host: We are running in a Samba file server setup where the nsswitch.conf looks like this: passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap hosts: files dns wins networks: files protocols: db files services: db files

Again, another confusing issue in two how-to's I'm trying to resolve. In the SBE (samba-3 by example) Pg 161 in the PDF states. (It's actually page 200 of the PDF, but 161 of the numbered document pages.) "The name service caching daemon (nscd) is a primary cause of difficulties with name resolution, particularly where winbind is used." But the Authconfig in the IDEALX

Hi All, I just enabled nscd to see if I can speed up some operations on our large NFS/NIS environment, however, now that I've enabled nscd I am no longer able to sudo. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Everything was working fine prior to enabling it. -- James A.

Dear All, I'm thinking about connecting the 15 or so laptops in our organisation to LDAP. Now I'm trying to use nscd in order to enable the users to work when being offline. The test laptop is installed for this occasion, updated CentOs6.3. Following the advise I found on a few posts I modified */etc/nscd.conf : * server-user nscd logfile

Hi, I'd like to use nscd for passwd+group caching. pam_ldap is configured and works (e.g. 'id foo' returns the correct user id if foo is present in ldap). If I start nscd manually (not started by default), 'id foo' returns 'No such user'. As soon as I stop nscd, 'id foo' starts working again. I suspect nscd is only looking at /etc/passwd because 'id

Hi We have installed and configured Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris (Sparc) 8 server recently. This server is to replace an existing member server in a NT4 domain and will act as a file server. We want to perform as little user maintenance on the Solaris side as possible so that most of the user setup and maintenance for the domain is controlled through a NT4 server using usrmgr and want to use NT

Hi all, I have set up nscd on my CentOS 5 box with nss_ldap. getent shows all LDAP groups correctly but 'id' only shows the users primary group. Best Regards Marcus

Hi, I'm having a problem with this setup: RHEL4 U4.2(Centos) + openldap + nscd The problem I see is that for some reason, after a couple of hours dovecot stuck in the auth procress. I do a : telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. 1 login user pass (here is the delay) After passing a username/password, the

Hi all, I am installing a zone onto two different V445s running S10U4 and the zones are taking hours to install (about 1000 packages), that is, the problem is identical on both systems. A bit of trussing and dtracing has shown that the pkginstalls being run by the zoneadm install are making door_call calls to nscd that are taking very long, so far observed to be 5 to 40 seconds, but always in

Hi Everyone, the new 3.0.4 Samba installation seems to work find except that from time to time but at least a couple of times a day one or more smbd processes start running at 20%-40% CPU each and 6 nscd processes then share the remaining CPU power. System 70%-80% users the rest 20%-30%. Load rises fast to over 4. I'm sure that each such process is just idling, but why does it engage so much

it says i have to be an "administrdator" and iam on a root account, is their an admin for wine? i tried installing winxp from the boot disk onto wine, but it says i have to be ab admin, but i am on the root account. does anyone know why??

The user rights I've granted, but this "min domain uid = 0? parameter seems to be important and is not documented in the Samba wiki. After adding it I can access the files and administrate the fileserver as wanted.

Hello, recently I've "updated" an AD member file server to an up-to-date Debian 12, following the wiki page Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member. Some years ago I did the same with a Debian 10 VM, of which I used the data disks in the new fileserver. It uses the "rid" backend, acl and is configured via RSAT tools. Either I didn't follow the wiki page in the

Looks like your root mapping isn?t working. Did you add "min domain uid = 0? to smb.conf ?

I finally ran across the following post: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-May/120798.html Turns out my earlier post to this list for help stems from the NSCD problem like this person had. I changed the negative TTLs in nscd.conf to 3s and changed the -t argument to 15 in my add machine script. This solved my join domain problem. Before all this, NSCD was not running. When NSCD is

The problem description below is relevant for those who use samba + LDAP. We installed four Intel Xeon servers with standard SuSE 8.2, samba + ldap. The W2K client complained about very, very, very slow reponse from the server. Below is we descripe the reasons and the solution. We have big problems with openldap version 2.1.12 (standard suse 8.2 rpm) and the name server cache daemon versiom
