Hi,
I recently added a Samba server to an existing domain as a BDC. It gave
the following error for each authentication request:
[2009/02/06 04:59:55, 0] passdb/pdb_get_set.c:pdb_get_group_sid(211)
pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for ditas
[2009/02/06 04:59:55, 1] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(589)
User ditas in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!
[2009/02/06 04:59:55, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(353)
check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with
'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
I googled and found a post with the same errors. The poster said
running ncsd fixed his problem. I started nscd on the host the new
Samba server is running on and the errors went away.
Samba version: 3.0.33
OS: RHEL5, kernel 2.6.18-128.el5.
Other samba servers in the domain are 3.0.28 and they do not have this
problem.
Is this (requiring running nscd) expected behavior? I do not see it
mentioned anywhere in the Samba documentation.
Thanks for help!
John
