[Samba] Samba 3.5.4: log.smbd: PANIC (pid 16232692): sys_setgroups failed

[Gaiseric Vandal]

This may not be related-  but on Solaris there is a ngroup_max system
parameter (default is 16.)  I found solaris 3.4.x would check to see if the
user's group list exceeded this and would panic (by design) if it did.
I don't know if this is to prevent using Windows to bypass Unix security?

Solaris sets this to 16 groups by default to enable compatibility with RPC
authentication for NFS.    When I upgraded from samba 3.0.x to samba 3.4.x
then suddenly 1/2 the users started having windows login problems.

Hi,

We use Samba 3.5.4 using winbind on AIX.

The issue we have is that some accounts can not access the Samba share. The
belong to the correct Active Directory group. I have googled and I have read
something about too many Active Directory groups. Is this a know issue and
is there a workaround for this?

The issue which occurs:
log.smbd:  PANIC (pid 16232692): sys_setgroups failed


Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards,
