TR : RE : [Samba] winbind and getent - fix ...

[gary ng]

I am wondering if there is some code which prevents
libnss_winbind to query the samba database when it is
running on a PDC(that is what I am doing and
experience the same problem as you) in this way.

I have even temperarily remove ldap(which is needed
for the unix uid/gid mapping for samba authentication)
and try to adduser. Surprisingly, it fails saying user
already exists meaning under this situation,
libnss_winbind is doing its job.

There is some mentioning of local unix user and
winbind on PDC in the release note but I don't know
what it is really about.

However, to echo you, I see the same problem and I
have tried everything (symbolink link, moving the file
from /lib to /usr/lib and back etc.) but a simple
'getent passwd' command just don't give me the samba
users and adding a new user with the same name in the
samba name space does bark. So libnss_winbind is not
completely ignored, just under some situation. I may
need to browse the code to have some clue.
Unfortunately, I found no mentioning of turning on
logs for libnss_winbind to trace.

I have already filed a bug report but haven't receive
any acknowledgement yet.
