[Samba] idmap troubles with any version 3.30 or later

[Daniel Müller]

This point is of interest. I just have a look at the ldapsam:trusted =yes
 and       ldapsam:editposix=yes parameters and set up a test system.
But if this is true I use the old way without winbind.

Betreff: [Samba] idmap troubles with any version 3.30 or later

Hello list.

The issue I have is that with the changes made to the idmap functionality of
winbind, as regards the enumeration of rfc2307 users and groups using getent
passwd and getent group, only those AD users that are not in the domains
included in the "idmap config (domain)"
statements (the ones in trusted domains that get their ID mappings
auto-assigned by the TDB backend with id's in the idmap uid / gid
ranges) get enumerated.  The ones that have the RFC2307 attributes defined
within the idmap group (domain) range statements will return their
uid/gid/homedir/shell info only if you specify "getent passwd (username)"
but they do not enumerate with a "getent passwd."  Same with getent group
(groupname) vs getent group.

I have had to create the symlinks in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 for the
/lib/nss_winbind.so.2, /lib/nss_wins.so.2, /lib64/nss_winbind.so.2 and
/lib64/nss_wins.so.2 libs manually because the installer did not create them
for me, and until I did so, getent passwd and getent group only displayed
the local /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries.

Question - are there any other symlinks that should be created for any other
aspect of the nss idmap functionality that may not have been created by the
install process, that would be breaking the user / group enumeration
functionality of nss_winbind.so, and if so, what libs need to be symlinked
to which folders using what names?

I have tried version 3.3x, 3.4.3 and 3.5.4 all with the same lack of results
from getent passwd and getent group but it functioned properly under 3.2.7,
so it can't be

Thanks in advance,

Jim.
