Hi folks,

I have finally nailed down the problem with the non-functional getent 
command when using winbind on a samba member server (AD domain).

The problem was the entry

    idmap config * : range 3000-9999

in smb.conf

I used the instructions in 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member as 
a template when setting up the server.

Changing the line idmap config to

    idmap config * : range = 16777216-33554431

made all the difference.

I got that range by using the authconfig tool, and then commenting out 
some lines, most notably "password server"

A change of the wiki page would be in order ;-)

The smb.conf below works well against my Samba AD DC. There are no 
shares defined (yet), which depends on the local needs.

Best regards,

Peter
