Since I've seen several people asking about this, it appears to be caused by an smbd which has dropped root privs and is trying to read /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb. 'tdbdump' doesn't indicate that there is anything sensitive here, so I've chmod'd it from 0600 to 0644. I haven't seen any more messages in the 10 minutes or so since I effected this change, so I'm hoping it's gone. (Whether or not it actually fixes any errors, I cannot yet say.) I turned debugging up to 10 to find the actual error, and here's what I see: [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 5] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(724) tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb: Permission denied [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Failed to open group mapping database [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:get_group_from_gid(655) failed to initialize group mappingtdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb: Permission denied [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Failed to open group mapping database [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:get_group_from_gid(655) failed to initialize group mappingtdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb: Permission denied [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Failed to open group mapping database [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:get_group_from_gid(655) failed to initialize group mappingtdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb: Permission denied [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Failed to open group mapping database [2004/01/21 16:59:57, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:get_group_from_gid(655) failed to initialize group mappingget_alias_user_groups: gid of user mcole doesn't exist.
