Hi Louis, hope you are having a good holiday ;-)

The OP is using Arch Linux, not sure if using a rolling release is a
good idea for a server. Until yesterday he hadn't mentioned that it
wasn't a new install, but something that had been running for sometime.

In his first post, he posted a list of commands he had tried, most
returned the expected results ('getent passwd username' was amongst
them) but there was these that failed:

# wbinfo -i "testuser"
failed to call wbcGetpwnam: WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND
Could not get info for user testuser

# wbinfo -i "SMC\testuser"
failed to call wbcGetpwnam: WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND
Could not get info for user SMC\testuser

# wbinfo -n testuser
S-1-5-21-1989633265-3966479559-1628277992-3078

# wbinfo --user-sidinfo S-1-5-21-1989633265-3966479559-1628277992-3078
failed to call wbcGetpwsid: WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND
Could not get info for user sid S-1-5-21-1989633265-
3966479559-1628277992-3078

All of his commands worked for me, so I supplied him with my notes made
when installing Samba on Devuan, he replied that didn't help and he
was still having problems. I replied that I would set up Arch Linux in
A VM and install a DC.

This I did, with some difficulty, mainly because Arch is very
different from Devuan and then ran his tests. All of them worked.
I then supplied him with my results etc, just to get abuse back, you
just cannot help some people.
