Subject: Another Bug and Temporary Fix (LDAP Trust Account)
Developers,
I hope I am not giving you another item that is already resolved in CVS
somewhere (my CVS skills are rusty), but here is what I have found with
respect to a trust relationship using an LDAP backend with 3.0a21.
I have this:
1. NT Domain: NTDOMAIN
2. Samba Domain: SMBDOMAIN
I want my NT domain to trust my SAMBA domain. So I create the user account
(posixAccount objectClass only) for my NT domain in the LDAP directory:
dn: uid=NTDOMAIN$, dc=example, dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: posixAccount
uid: NTDOMAIN$
uidNumber: ...
gidNumber: ...
and so on. I tell Samba to setup this as a new trust:
net rpc trustdom add COMMUNICATION -U Administrator
Which succeeds and updates the above LDIF with the usual sambaAccount
attributes, including this one:
acctFlags: [I ]
I tell Samba to set the initial password for this account:
$ smbpasswd NTDOMAIN$
New Password: ...
Which also succeeds. Then I go to my NT domain controller, fire up User
Manager, and tell it to trust my SMBDOMAIN system, which appears to succeed
but gives me a warning about verification of the trust failing.
But the trust doesn't work just yet. If I look at my LDIF again at this
point, I see that 'acctFlags' has been changed to:
acctFlags: [U ]
So I go in with my favorite tool and change it back to:
acctFlags: [I ]
And now my trust works. But I had to make that last manual change to the
LDAP entry for NTDOMAIN$ to make the trust actually function.
Did I do something wrong in my setup, or should the 'smbd' that received the
trust request from my NT PDC have not changed that flag from 'I' to 'U'?
Thanks again,
Matt

Subject: Unable to lookup names to display / .NET client problem
Hi,
I am running samba 2.2.7 on FreeBSD 4.7 as PDC with LDAP database backend.
I have serveral Windows XP Pro client. Eveything fine about joining the
domain ( after change the reg key ), logging in. But when I run, .NET
application on the client, it says user need to be in Debugger User Group
on local machine. Is there any way to make it work ?? My workaround is
trying to change permission on some folders, assuming that if i add Domain
User as full permission, it might solve. But when I add the permission,
it give me the error "Unable to lookup user names for display" and I
cann't add the group. But I still can add individual user. I need to add
the group since i have thousand of users and I cannot add all.
I searched around the mailing list and the unable to lookup names problem
is said to be fixed in ver 2.2.3. But why am i haveing problem ?? Am I
doing something wrong ??
Here is my snipplet from my smb.conf file.
ldap admin dn = "cn=root,dc=cs,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
ldap server = directory.cs.mydomain.com
ldap suffix = "ou=People,dc=cs,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
ldap port = 389
ldap ssl = start tls
##
## Passwords & Authentication
##
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
domain admin group = @smbadmin
domain guest group = @smbguest
wins support = yes
Pls help !!!!
Thanks in advance.
Myo

smbfs (not userspace) works just fine (*) with kerberos.
All kerberos work is done by smbmount (userspace) and that code is the
same as the one used by smbclient. The filesystem parts doesn't care about
kerberos when it is only used for authentication.
smbfs signals back to smbmount if it wants it to reconnect. But perhaps
you wanted more than authentication.

nothing to do with kerberos.

My guess (and that's all it is) is that this is an operating system issue. I
presume you are using Linux 2.4.18 although you didn't say. Try writing a
small C benchmark program that just does straight fopen/fread/frwrite/fclose
operations, and time them, and see how you fare. I'll bet you find that the
system calls (esp. the open call) take a lot longer on the big directories.
Make sure your benchmark program uses the same file naming conventions as
your real code, in case the problem has something to do with the efficiency
of hashing or searching the specific names.
