Every day I get emailed Logwatch reports with several entries of the
following type. I've tried googling for these entries and found nothing
that indicats if these represent any particular problem. We did not have
these messages before and nothing really changed other than some RedHat
updates. The system generally runs fine (~170 users) with only the
occasional authentication glitch.
We're on 2.2.6 running on Redhat 7.3. Security =Domain

Unrelated to the above and more of an interface issue:
When running certain commands the long nature of domain+username ids makes
reading the output somewhat useless. Take smbstatus -b:
Samba version 2.2.6
PID Username Machine Time logged in
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5650 AHBLNT1\ausnx350-06 Mon Jan 20 08:49:57 2003
5023 AHBLNT1\sddel050-05 Mon Jan 20 09:40:40 2003
5384 AHBLNT1\brdel050-02 Mon Jan 20 08:36:48 2003
Although I can see which PID is which machine, the username is cut off. I
did have Winbind Use Default Domain turned on before which worked around the
problem but remonstrations on the list from Daniel et al against its use on
2.2 persuaded me to turn it off.
LS -al also becomes harder:
Which group was that again?
-rwxrw---- 1 root AHBLNT1\ 7000 Jan 20 15:00 Z_AP.D
-rw-rwx--- 1 root AHBLNT1\ 11341 Dec 30 09:35 ZDLAST.PRT

-rwxrw---- 1 root AHBLNT1\ 14600 Jan 20 14:24 Z_LV.D
Suggestions and comments anyone?
Thanks,
Greg
