Jeremy,

Never having worked with winbind, I claim a certain amount of ignorance here. I can't login as a specific user because I don't have telnet enabled on the samba server (none of the specific kerberos stuff is configured). Even though I have the template shell configured and getent passwd shows everything correctly for user 'CATNET\rtanner', I can't login via ssh. When I use smbclient I don't have access to the id command (or I don't know how to access it). But when logged in as root, I do "getent group | grep 'CATNET\\rtanner', I see what I expected. It shows me in the 'CATNET\adm staff' security group but not in 'CATNET\adm'. The former is a member of the latter so, at least on Microsoft Windows shares access granted to 'CATNET\adm' applies to 'CATNET\adm staff' as well, and that's what's not happening when mounting SAMBA shares.

So, at this point, I'm not sure how to go about starting to debug why winbind isn't showing my membership in the 'CATNET\adm' group as well. I've followed the procedures in the official HOWTO, but if there's something I missed that would cause just this particular problem, do you know what that might be?

Thanks,
Rob

Here's the problem, a member of 'CATNET\adm staff' cannot access a file for which 'CATNET\adm' has r/w access (group:CATNET\134adm:rwx). But if I add 'CATNET\adm staff' even though 'CATNET\adm staff' is a member of 'CATNET\adm', it works. I thought this might be related to the smb.conf parameter 'winbind nested groups', which I set to 'yes', but it made no difference. Any ideas?

Yes, that's got to be nested group evaluation not working
right. Try logging on as the specific user and then
calling the 'id' command to see what groups you're in.
They're the ones that winbindd is giving you (and the
same ones smbd will be using). From that you should be
able to start debugging why winbindd isn't giving the
full group list.

Jeremy.
