Bug#535791: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#535791: winbind: failed to get user and group list from Samba PDC
Quoting Joel Franco (joel.fra...@gmail.com): I recognize that i made a bug report like a support request. Sorry. If i be in your place, i guess that i will be bored too. :( But, unless the Please, what should i do?, do it do not appears a bug report? Given the complexity of software such as samba, not necessarily. It is quite likely that your problem is related to changes in samba behaviour, that may require checking the documentation or reviewing your server's settings. Yes, i have read documentation in howtos, i have looked at the server logs, but i do not have read the samba upstream mailing list. However, i do not understand when i should talk to debian samba bug report and when i should do it to the upstream. I have seen in debian bug report several cases from reports that IMHO should go to the upstream. There is a documentation explaing that? Not really. Only common sense prevails. Particularly in the case of complex software such as Samba, OpenLDAP and similar projects, the Debian maintainers mostly focus on issues related to packaging and following upstream evolutions and changes. So, we're very far from having the technical possibility and overall availability to try reproducing issues faced by users of this software.at least we have this with much less deep knowledge of the software itself than upstream developers. You're right: there are issues that were reported (and some that still are in the BTS) that would more pertain to upstream direct interaction, or user to user advices andn support. Indeed, most pending issues in the BTS fall in that category...and the fact that we have a few that are really old clearly shows that such bug reporting way is not always the right method. Which is, of course, really different from sayingg hey, please don't report bugs to Debian...what I'm more saying is please report bugs when you think that Debian maintainers are able to fix them or report them correctly, with precise-enough information. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Christian, Thank you by your explaination about the correct way of report bugs. I agree that, to my specific case, samba debian team is not the better way to solve it.

tags 535791 wontfix thanks Quoting Joel Franco (joel.fra...@gmail.com): Package: winbind Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny6 Severity: important After the net rpc join successfuly established to the Samba PDC (net rpc testjoin ok), the following commands fail: .../... The samba version in the PDC Server is exactly the samba that of this server. Please, what should i do? Get in touch with upstream mailing lists, look into the server's logs, look into the client logs, read documentation about samba, etc? I'm really sorry to say this but you come in touch with the package maintainers in Debian just as if we were a support center, which we are definitely not (we're having enough hard times maintaining the package...we can't do user support). Sorry for being quite harsh, but that's about the 3rd ou 4th such bug report in a week. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
