Does "id -u DOMAIN\\username" still work for you on 3.0.25b?

[Kurt Pfeifle]

Hi,

I have a quick question for those of you who run 3.0.25b.


=====================================================================
  Problem: for me, on 3.0.25a, the commands

     getent passwd DOMAINNAME\\Administrator
     id -u DOMAINNAME\\Administrator

  do no longer work. And they don't work for *any* other user name
  either.
=====================================================================

They used to work for me (and still do work!) on a parallel Samba 3.0.24
system.

Both systems are on Fedora Core 3, both Samba packages are self-compiled,
both systems are member servers in the same domain.

Also, the commands

  wbinfo -u
  wbinfo -g

(executed on each of the Samba servers) do return the exactly same list
of users and groups (including ones where 'id -u' and 'getent passwd'
do fail):

  ###### on Samba 3.0.24 #######
  [root at smb_prod ~]# wbinfo -u|grep -i DOMAINNAME\\\\Administrator
  DOMAINNAME\administrator

  ###### on Samba 3.0.25b ######
  [root at smb_test ~]# wbinfo -u|grep -i DOMAINNAME\\\\Administrator
  DOMAINNAME\administrator

I do not see *any* difference in these config files on either system:

  /etc/samba/smb.conf
  /etc/nsswitch.conf
  /etc/pam_smb.conf
  /etc/pam.d/*

The only differences between the two systems I can see are some build
option differences. Here is the line about the builtin modules (there
are other differences that I can post if you need them):

  ###### on Samba 3.0.24 #######
  [root at smb_prod ~]# smbd -b | grep -A 1 Builtin
  Builtin modules:
       pdb_ldap pdb_smbpasswd pdb_tdbsam rpc_lsa rpc_reg rpc_lsa_ds \
       rpc_wks rpc_svcctl rpc_ntsvcs rpc_net rpc_netdfs rpc_srv \
       rpc_spoolss rpc_eventlog rpc_samr idmap_ldap idmap_tdb auth_sam \
       auth_unix auth_winbind auth_server auth_domain auth_builtin

  ###### on Samba 3.0.25b ######
  [root at smb_test ~]# smbd -b | grep -A 1 Builtin
  Builtin modules:
       pdb_ldap pdb_smbpasswd pdb_tdbsam rpc_lsa rpc_reg rpc_lsa_ds \
       rpc_wkssvc rpc_svcctl rpc_ntsvcs rpc_net rpc_netdfs rpc_srv \
       rpc_spoolss rpc_eventlog rpc_samr rpc_echo idmap_ldap idmap_tdb \
       idmap_passdb idmap_nss nss_info_template auth_sam auth_unix \
       auth_winbind auth_server auth_domain auth_builtin vfs_default \
       vfs_posixacl

So it looks like 3.0.25b has all the builtin modules of 3.0.24, plus some
more (namely: 'rpc_echo', 'idmap_passdb', 'idmap_nss', 'nss_info_template',
'vfs_default' and 'vfs_posixacl') -- with a difference in 'rpc_wks' (only
in 3.0.24) and 'rpc_wkssvc' (only in 3.0.25b).

--------

A short feedback (even like "Works for me!") will be highly appreciated.
Any hints about what may be wrong on this particular 3.0.25b even more
so...

Thanks,
Kurt
