similar to: winbindd: getent passwd yields empty GECOS field

Dear all; I'm trying to use winbindd to resolve names in an AD setup. I can authenticate just fine, but I've noticed that for some users "getent passwd" returns a GECOS field populated with displayName from the LDAP servers and for others is does not. For example: $ getent passwd user1 user1:*:1111111111:2222222222:John Doe:/home/user1:/bin/bash $ getent passwd

I have discovered that a user who has a blank GECOS field in the passwd file under RedHat 4.0 (Colgate) is unable to change passwords. Running the passwd command goes like this: [user@host user]$ passwd Password: [entry of old passwd] New password: [entry of new passwd] [user@host user]$ echo $! 1 [user@host user]$ Setting the name field in the GECOS seems to solve this problem.

Has anybody run into the wierdness of the gecos info coming from winbind? Here's an example: [root@server]# getent passwd dflores dFlores:x:21509:13201:Flores, Dick:/home/DOMAIN/dFlores:/bin/bash [root@server]# finger dflores Login: dFlores Name: Flores Directory: /home/DOMAIN/dFlores Shell: /bin/bash Office: Dick Never logged in. No mail. No Plan.

This has always bothered me.. wtf does gecos mean (in the samba ldap)?

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Hello there, I'm having a weird behaviour with getent (and by extension winbind using wbinfo) when querying for specific user info. I'm running Samba 3.5.4 in Centos 5.7 (3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2) with default options, and securty = ads Everything works fine, but now I'm working on some autoemails with reports and I want to get rid of the user names, using user's first / last names

Dear List, I have problems using Xen dom0 Kernel including the IMA Kernel Module (Linux Integrity Measurement - http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/) The IMA supports only kernel > 2.6.32 and I dont know how to find and build a Xen dom0 kernel in version greater or equal than 2.6.32. There is just kernel 2.6.18-xen in the Mercurial repository which is normally used during the standard

Hello, I am doing tests to convert old rotting servers into a big shiny new Xen platform. I have been able to migrate a Windows 2003 server without a scratch. I am trying to do the same thing with Windows 2000 Server but things aren''t so great... I made an image from the disk that worked in a machine. Then I boot on this image using Xen. Windows 2000 starts to boot up then give me a

Hi, I am doing some experimentation with xen and Ceph and have a problem booting my guest when my disk = [] uses an alternate block script. Installation from a .iso was ok since the boot device was a file but now trying to boot from the rbd neither the hvmbuilder or pygrub can start as they treat the first value after target= as the /dev node to try and use. My disk parameter looks like: disk =

Hi, I have encountered an apparently benign error on two systems where the dom0 kernel log is flooded with messages like: [52482.163855] System RAM resource [mem 0x1b8000000-0x1bfffffff] cannot be added [52482.163860] xen_balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 The first line is from drivers/xen/xen-balloon.c, the second from mm/memory_hotplug.c The trigger for the

This is a trivial request -- and not a bug, but it could really make my life easier. I don't know if other Samba users would find this useful or not. I'm using winbind to give "Windows" (samba domain) users access to Linux systems, and we need to audit, generate reports, etc. on who has access, etc. We're also using winbind groups in /etc/sudoers, so that gets audited

Hi, I am using the Idealx smbldap scripts to manage my samba users in an OpenLDAP backend. The smbldap.conf specifies the value for the gecos attribute, which is then propogated to the displayName attribute by the smbldap-useradd script. As a result when I log on to windows the user is displayed as "System User" in the start menu (and presumably other places as well). Ideally there

I am having a problem setting the caller ID that shows when I make an outbound call over my PRI line. If I make a call from a SIP phone registered with the Asterisk box the PRI is connected to the correct ID shows on my cell phone.

Hi, I''m running OpenBSD 4.5 as HVM guest. Here is part of my .cfg file: kernel = ''/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader'' device_model = ''/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm'' builder = ''hvm'' It is running fine with vnc, but when I ssh to openbsd, and I type cat, vi, etc. it freezes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -- Sergio Roberto Charpinel
