[Samba] getent not working correctly

[Sean Patrick Ingles]

Here is my /etc/nsswitch.conf (abbreviated):

passwd:     files winbind
shadow:     files winbind
group:      files winbind

I first start smbd -D and nmbd -D

Then I start winbindd

Then I join the domain (smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r DOMAINCONTROLLER -U Administrator) It works

Then I check my Secret (wbinfo -t) and it's good

Then I list users and groups (wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g) and it works fine

However I still cannot get "getent passwd" and "getent group" working.

I am 100% stumped

Did you reboot after starting winbindd?

Either do that, or try looking for the nameserver cache daemons (nscd), and kill them all.  (Don't worry, they'll restart.)

I had the same problem with nss_ldap, and it drove me NUTS till I found out about the cache mechanism.
