Hi. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can help, please e-mail me
or CC me in the response.
I've been using Samba for quite a while, and just set up a 2.2.2 server
with winbind support. Console logins and SMB access work fine, wbinfo -t
reports "Secret is good", and wbinfo -r domain+ntuser shows the right
group number. In fact, the UID/GIDs are translated properly when I do an
'ls' on the filesystem.
However, getent passwd or getent group only displays the local files - it
does not seem to import any NT information. Likewise, wbinfo -u and
wbinfo -g both fail with "Error looking up domain users/groups".
/etc/nsswitch.conf has the required "passwd: files winbind" and "group:
files winbind", and the system otherwise works fine, but its near
impossible to figure out what groups are available/in use without looking
at the NT server (and since our domain is more than 8 characters, Linux
reports file ownership like:
-rwxrwx--- 5 root OURDOMAI 4096 Dec 4 10:10 myfile.txt
'ls -ln' shows things to be numerically correct, but why does wbinfo -u or
-g and getent fail to work properly. Thanks for any help you can provide
