[Samba] wbinfo can not convert User names and Group name to S ID

[Kevin Wilson]

Nah, we haven't updated our samba installations because they are production
servers and we have no confirmation that the latest and greatest will fix
the problem. 

In a nutshell we get the following:

a power down or service restart doesn't automatically reacquire the domain
membership.

you cannot use the join syntax using PDC I outlined before, you must specify
the DC to use.

wbinfo -u & -g will immediately following joining the domain.

getent passwd & group usually works if the above does but I have a working
server with lists that were updated when the getent commands didn't pull the
lists properly...go figure?

wbinfo -m doesn't report the primary domain even though you just joined it.

wbinfo -t fails intermittently.

initially you can't access the shares then sometimes (after a 1/2 hour or
so) you can but not always.

You you test 3.0.20 just for kicks?  There have been several
hotfix compatibility issues we've had to work around already.
I'm downloading these hotfixes now and will try to test
things out tomorrow.
