I removed winbind from group entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf, otherwise ssh session would timeout and lost connection. In this way, Samba still works. Samba still can use domain groups and domain users to grant access. Only 'getent group domain_group" doesn't work.

Domain Windows 2003 (Domain functional level 2000 native) nsswitch.conf passwd: files winbind group: files winbind I have complied configured and installed Samba on a test network. I have joined the samba server as a domain member on to the Windows 2003 domain and I can list all the users and groups in the domain using wbinfo -u and groups using wbinfo -g. I can also list all the users using "getent passwd" but when I run the command "getent group" I only get one of the domain groups returned. I can logon to an XP client access the shares on the Samba server and create files, folders etc. I can list these file on the UNIX server using "ls" but if I try and use "ls -l" the command just hangs. Also "smbstatus" hands if there are any files open. If I remove the winbind from the group entry in the nsswitch.conf file then I can list the contents of the folders, obviously the group names do not appear but the domain usernames do. I can then also get a from "smbstatus" again all group name a shown as there mapped ID Authentication is very quick, there just seems to be a problem with group mapping. I followed the instructions on this web page to install and configure. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html# id412113 Other tests carried out smbclient -L hostname nmblookup -B ip_addr __SAMBA__ nmblookup -N ip_addre "*" nmlookup -M DOMAIN The gid range does not clash with existing groups and I cannot see any errors in the log files. All give normal output. Any ideas?
