edited tdb... restart samba?
I had to remove reference to some printer drivers
via tdbtool on ntdrivers.tdb.
1. Do I need to restart smbd and nmbd to make these
changes take effect?
2. If I restart smbd and nmbd will connected users get
disconnected?

3 simple questions
Hi. I am running 3.0.20.
1. I would like to have an include statement pointing to user
configurations. For a user, say 'mike', the following works:
include = /home/mike/smb.conf
But this does not:
include = /home/%u/smb.conf
I am using a very simple config with 'security = user'. What am I doing
wrong?
I cannot get any log feedback from this ('testparm' says

Effect of disabling LM/NTLMv1 auth on an AD?
Folks,
Our campus AD team has decided that they ...

Noble thoughts, but there hasn't been much thought of the
ramifications for other, interoperable systems like Samba.
I can see that modern Samba versions support NTLMv1 and NTLMv2
methods.

smbd rejects all and any authentication attempts due to a corrupted "gencache.tdb"
I run smbd 4.18.8 inside a docker container via "smbd --foreground" (see the attached config). Recently my server was abruptly
restarted due to a power outage. Upon the restart it was able to successfully start the container, but the shares became inaccessible
due to smbd rejecting all authentication attempts. In the logs I found:

For what it’s worth you are not alone in seeing similar problems with Samba and gencache.
Our site has some 110K users (university with staff & students (including former ones), and currently around 2000 active (SMB) clients connecting to 5 different Samba servers (around 400-500 clients per server).

Join AD domain using security = domain ?
Hi guys,
Is it possible to join an AD domain using NT style authentication ?
i.e. security = domain in smb.conf and use 'net join rpc -W [MYADDOMAIN]
When I tried this I get the following error:

gencache.tdb size and cache flush
The config looks ok, thats great. :-)
Its not needed to stop samba running : net cache flush
If you run: net cache list and have a look, then flush it and look again.
You see its empty.
If you need to copy the idmap than it is needed to stop samba.
Can you show me an output of.

gencache.tdb growing and growing and...
Is it normal that the gencache.tdb should grow and grow “forever” and fill up with “RA/<hex>” posts?
I’ve been investigating why our Samba 4.7.3 servers (happened with older version 4 servers too) would use such insane amounts of memory on our FreeBSD 11.1 servers (we see smbd processes using hundreds of megabytes of RAM and up to 5GB virtual memory).
Anyway, one part that seems to use

help, we are running out of idmap uids
Dear Samba experts,
Initially we set up winbind to the following:
idmap uid = 10000-20000
thinking that 10000 uids were sufficient
for the number of users we would get.
We also have defined our UNIX users
from 20001 onwards.
However, now I can see that our latest
windows(idmap uid) users has uid 19123
and this troubles me.
Since I cannot just "extend" the

authentication performance with 4.7.6 -> 4.7.8 upgrade (was: Re: gencache.tdb size and cache flush)
I’m going to try to upgrade from 4.7.6 to 4.7.7 on one of our servers soon and see if things break or not. With 4.7.6 things are stable at least.
Our file servers are in a Microsoft Windows domain (consisting of 6 Microsoft Windows 2016 AD servers).

gencache.tdb: device busy
I added LOG statements to mutex.c printing the strerror from the return values.
From

But due the manual of pthread_mutex_attr_init() there should only be ENOMEM and EINVAL...
