Help! Solaris 8 + winbindd

[Dean Ward]

Hi Steve,

I think this is a general problem with Winbind running under Solaris - I get
communication to/from our domain controllers and this can be proven by using
wbinfo -u and -g (which return a list of domain users).

However, I've copied libnss_winbind.so, symbolically linked
libnss_winbind.so.1, libnss_winbind.so.2 and nss_winbind.so.1 (that's the
one that Solaris actually uses according to the nsswitch.conf man pages) and
updated nsswitch.conf so that passwd and group have winbind in them (Solaris
doesn't use shadow). And guess what! getent passwd and getent group do not
return anything but local users. I've not bothered with PAM yet as I'm
trying to get one bit working at a time.

Executing truss getent passwd indicates that the nss_winbind.so.1 library is
loaded, but it doesn't open up /tmp/.winbindd/pipe (which is owned by root,
so that isn't the problem) to pass Winbind its request.

I'm running Solaris 2.6, latest CVS (from this morning) and still no joy -
does anybody have any ideas here? I can give more info if required.

Cheers!
