I have some new information on getent group not showing the groups in samba 2.2.8a on Redhat 9.
in the client log on teh samba PDC I get [2003/08/06 09:47:47, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_open_group(2766) _samr_open_group: Not yet implemented. [2003/08/06 09:47:47, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_open_group(2766) _samr_open_group: Not yet implemented. every time I do 'getent group' I looked up the code in the source and guess what, it's : /********************************************************************* _samr_open_group *********************************************************************/ NTSTATUS _samr_open_group(pipes_struct *p, SAMR_Q_OPEN_GROUP *q_u, SAMR_R_OPEN_GROUP *r_u) { DEBUG(0,("_samr_open_group: Not yet implemented.\n")); return NT_STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED; } so it makes sense... HOWEVER there are numerous people for who 'getent group' apparently DOES work, so I have no idea why this call is in fact executed in my case. Probable he takes a wrong turn somewhere???? I am trying to trace back the call to find that wrong turn, but if anyone can give me a hint here please do, it's a big ... Jo De Baer Maybe I'll rephrase it shorter : 1) eventhough 'wbinfo -g' gives me the correct groups, they do nots how up when I go 'getent group'. Can it be the spaces in the Samba groups 'Domain Admins' and 'Domain Users'? Where is the information about these groups stored on the Samba pdc? 2) I only get winbind to do it's job (which is connecting to a local share on the domain member with a winbind user) when I a) set the parameter 'winbind cache timeout = 0' OR b) create the user locally on the domain member, which is of course what we try to avoid by using winbind... any idea's why playing with the cache timeout causes a difference? Thanks in advance... the full story is below but I guess it's to long for anyone to read *grin* > > > > > > Jo De Baer > > > > NEOlabs - http://www.neolabs.be - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > NEOlabs - http://www.neolabs.be - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba NEOlabs - http://www.neolabs.be - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
