Hello All,
Samba is posting the following error messages repeatedly during user
authentication:
Feb 20 09:35:50 SUMSRVR smbd[27950]: [2007/02/20 09:35:50, 0]
rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_alias_user_groups(206)
Feb 20 09:35:50 SUMSRVR smbd[27950]: get_alias_user_groups: gid of
user xxx doesn't exist. Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
It does not appear to be causing any problems, just hitting my log files
fairly often.
I can cause it to cease by mapping the user's private group to a domain
group:
# net groupmap add unixgroup=xxx ntgroup=xxx
However, once a user's private group is mapped to a domain group of the
same name, any attempts to edit the user in User Manager for Domains
results in the error message "The following error occurred changing the
properties of user xxx: The group name could not be found."
I can avoid that error message by mapping all users' private groups to
domain groups that share a name:
# net groupmap add unixgroup=xxx ntgroup=privategroup
# net groupmap add unixgroup=yyy ntgroup=privategroup
# net groupmap add unixgroup=zzz ntgroup=privategroup
This has the unfortunate side effect of making the "delete group script"
in smb.conf extremely painful, as I must delete group mappings using the
sid instead of the group name.
Additionally, I can avoid the error message by mapping users' private
groups to domain groups with similar names:
# net groupmap add unixgroup=xxx ntgroup=zxxx
The only side effect of this method appears to be populating the group
display of User Manager for Domains with useless groups.
