I have configured a SambaPDC with a OpenLDAP backend. I recently upgraded Samba from 3.0.10-1.4E.9, to 3.0.23c and have run into a problem with groups. Specifically, the machines I have joined to the domain, are not able to retrieve group information.
Please note that "net rpc user" works as expected on both smbd versions.0 Version Information: OpenLDAP 2.3.27 Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.9 OS: CentOS release 4.4 I join the domain from a FreeBSD box, and then run a net rpc groups, it is able to pull group information, and display. I then switch to the new binaries. Restart slapd and smbd. I run a net rpc group and no information is returned. Again net rpc user works as expected. I also make sure to flush the system and add users so that it is not just retrieving cached information. Please also note this is a test Samba PDC, and is meant to be a proof of concept / testing machine.
