[Samba] ldapsam_compat & net rpc user issue (maybe BUG?)

[Fabien Chevalier]

Hi all,

I'm sorry i have to complain about something that seems to go wrong with samba.
I'm a long time satisfacted Samba 2 user and i have to switch to 3.0.
I'm using samba 3.0.0 on a test Debian machine with pre-built packages from Debian.
It comes with openldap 2.1.22

I've tested Samba 3.0 as a PDC for WinXP machines...
and it works great! :-)

But i am facing an issue i can't solve alone, despite hours of readings :-(.

I have to use ldapsam_compat on my system to be able to use Directory Administrator.
The following users are created on ldap: toto, zzAdmin, fchevalier
I also use tdbsam with the following users : toto3, toto4, toto5; root.

My setup seems to work:
  -I can connect to home shares of my ldap & tdb users. The authentification goes right.
  -But when i run net rpc user, i get the following:

        dc-sorral-05:~# net rpc user -Utoto
        Password:
        toto3
        toto4
        root
        toto5

  I got authenticated trough my ldap 'toto' user but it is not in the list !!!.
  My ldap users are not listed!
  With debug level 2 I got in my logs:

  2003/10/09 18:00:52, 2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_search_suffix(1066)
  smbldap_search_suffix: searching for:[(&(uid=*)(objectclass=sambaAccount))]
[2003/10/09 18:00:52, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsampwent(948)
  ldapsam_setsampwent: 3 entries in the base!
[2003/10/09 18:00:52, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(460)
  init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: toto
[2003/10/09 18:00:52, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(460)
  init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: zzAdmin
[2003/10/09 18:00:52, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(460)
  init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: fchevalier

So it seems samba is able to retrieve them from LDAP.

Has anybody got this same trouble?
Have i missed something in the doc (RTFM, RTFM...)?

Cheers,
