Hi,
I have replicated this on a test box, if you do a net cache flush, then
restart samba and winbind,
run getent passwd (only displays local users)
then net cache list (will display all cache of remote users)
The only way i know to fix this is to rename idmap config <name> and
restart samba/winbind... but a week later the problem will be back..
seems strange to me, is this a bug with 3.3.9 or am i missing something here
?
Thanks,
Wasim
