[Samba] Joining a Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2 DC to a Samba AD - ISSUE - The RPC server is unavailable

[Arjit Gupta]

Hi Andrew,

I have checked for the reason of below error
single_terminate: reason[socket_get_remote_addr() failed]

As mentioned by you earlier that it requires "credentials passing via
the getpeereid()
call or SO_PEERCRED"

On investigating it further i found below condition that fails
File :- lib/tsocket/tsocket_bsd.c

Function
int _tsocket_address_bsd_from_sockaddr(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx,
      const struct sockaddr *sa,
      size_t sa_socklen,
      struct tsocket_address **_addr,
      const char *location)
{
.......
if (*sa_socklen < sizeof(sa->sa_family*)) { *//sa_socklen is zero thus we
are getting above error*
errno = EINVAL;
return -1;
}
.......
}

The reason of sa_socklen in zero is below:-

File:- source4/lib/socket_socket_unix.c

Function :-
static struct socket_address *unixdom_get_peer_addr(struct socket_context
*sock, TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
{
............
ret = getpeername(sock->fd, peer->sockaddr, &len); *//getpeername return
success but not modify **peer->sockaddr and len *
............
}

*Reason for above behavior:-*
getpeername() of HP-UX doesnt fill sockaddr structure and len variable for
AF_UNIX socket unless we explicitly  bind client socket path.

So, for fixing above error, we have to bind client socket path in client
module.

Can you please let me know the code/module corresponding to the client in
this context below.

  Terminating connection - 'socket_get_remote_addr() failed'

../source4/smbd/process_single.c:114(single_terminate)
  single_terminate: reason[socket_get_remote_addr() failed]


Please help with this so that we will make appropriate change to fix above
error.
