There are various TDB that cache info (maybe under /var/samba/locks) If you run "testparm -v" there may be some timeout or cache variables you could adjust.
Does it matter if you have mapped the unix group to a Windows group? In my environment we set up group mappings for the key groups (like Domain Administrators) but we have a lot of unix groups that we don't explicitly map to Windows groups. -----Original Message----- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of davefu Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 7:29 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Samba + LDAP: Changing user's group Hello fellas. I'm facing this problem today: My Samba PDC is using LDAP as a backend, and its working really good. The problem comes when I change the groups on one of the users. System shows the change correctly by using 'getent group' and if I log as that user the behavior correct when trying the new group permissions. Samba, however, doesn't seem to get those changes immediately (it syncs hours later, totally random amount of time). I've tried disabling NSCD but no luck. I've read somewhere that restarting Samba service forces Samba to refresh the users credentials, but thats not possible to do everytime a user needs a change in his groups. I'm wondering if there is some way to refresh Samba cached credentials. Has anyone experienced this before? P.D: Where is Samba caching the users information/credentials/password/etc anyway? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Samba-%2B-LDAP%3A-Changing-user%27s-group-tp26421317p2 6421317.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
