[Samba] migrating from freebsd to linux - wbinfo mismatch

[Joey Officer]

We're beginning a migration from FreeBSD w/ Samba Version 3.0.28a to
Gentoo Linux w/ Samba Version 3.0.33.  Both the BSD system and the Linux
system are joined to the domain, using the same krb5.conf file and
nearly identical global sections of the smb.conf file.

 

What I've found is the UID and GID are not aligned with each other.  For
example:

 

(dc2: 14:52:53 </var/db/samba>) 0 # wbinfo -i jofficer

jofficer:*:10019:10018:Joey Officer

 

fs1 private # wbinfo -i jofficer

jofficer:*:10017:10000:Joey Officer

 

In this case, dc2 is the original BSD system and fs1 is the new Linux
box.  In addition to the UIDs being off, the GIDs are also off:

 

(dc2: 14:54:54 </var/db/samba>) 0 # wbinfo --group-info "domain users"

domain users:x:10018

 

fs1 private # wbinfo --group-info "domain users"

domain users:x:10000

 

Normally, I wouldn't immediately recognize this as a problem, however
since I migrated the files and directories from DC2, all of the
user/group ownerships are skewed and therefore a user would be unable to
gain access to their files.

 

Can anyone offer any insight into the problem here?
