[Samba] Winbind and local groups with nss
Hi all, First of all, sorry for my english. I don't speak well english (of course I'm french! ;-) ) but I will try to do my best to explain you my problem. I have a CentOS 6.3 system running with samba 3.5.10 against an AD 2008. My goal is to build a vsftpd server authenticating with users in my AD domain. Everything is working quite fine but I have something strange : When I put winbind in debug mode and when I do 'id -G root' I see these messages in winbindd.log : [2012/09/03 15:37:23.449662, 6] winbindd/winbindd.c:768(new_connection) accepted socket 21 [2012/09/03 15:37:23.449967, 3] winbindd/winbindd_misc.c:352(winbindd_interface_version) [ 4759]: request interface version [2012/09/03 15:37:23.450112, 3] winbindd/winbindd_misc.c:385(winbindd_priv_pipe_dir) [ 4759]: request location of privileged pipe [2012/09/03 15:37:23.450337, 6] winbindd/winbindd.c:768(new_connection) accepted socket 22 [2012/09/03 15:37:23.450421, 6] winbindd/winbindd.c:816(winbind_client_request_read) closing socket 21, client exited [2012/09/03 15:37:23.450539, 3] winbindd/winbindd_getgroups.c:60(winbindd_getgroups_send) getgroups root [2012/09/03 15:37:23.450691, 5] winbindd/winbindd_getgroups.c:187(winbindd_getgroups_recv) Could not convert sid S-0-0: NT_STATUS_NONE_MAPPED [2012/09/03 15:37:23.451367, 6] winbindd/winbindd.c:816(winbind_client_request_read) closing socket 22, client exited Winbind is asked by nss to resolve root secondary groups !!! I don't undestrand why : root is only local and all his groups are local. The output is : # id -G root 0 1 2 3 4 6 10 494 My question is quite simple : why nss ask winbind to resolve theses groups name whereas they are all local !?! Do you think the only thing I have to do is ignore these messages ?

When you upgraded, did you either copy the secrets.tdb to the new prefix, or use the same prefix? This doesn't explain the re-join issues, unless you are mixing up a 'net' binary from one release (and prefix) with smbd/winbindd from the other however.

Just because a feature exists in MS Windows does not make it "basic" translated "expected" in other platforms.

You'll need to script this yourself by issuing removing the share entry from smb.conf and using smbcontrol to close client connections to that share and reload the config file. Samba doesn't have logic to hook into your specific UNIX's method of notifying dismounts (if it even has one). Also, it's not a security hazard, as the admin - don't do that :-).

Well, Samba has moved on to put more emphasis on SIDs. If that does not match your requirements, you should better stick with 3.0.14a and find someone from http://samba.org/samba/support to maintain it for you.

Re: [Samba] Changed PDC IP, all hell broke lose
Okay, someone else will need to answer on how WINS works, but something else might be going on here. On a windows machine, if you do a ping -a, you'll get ping to resolve your name. I'd check both old and new IPs. Granted, the old won't reply, but you'll see the DNS query go through anyway. What that means then is that the IT staff on the other side has manually loaded a DNS entry into Active Directory, and WINS is pulling from that because that's the information is has to work from. Perform some DNS querys against the A/D dns servers, see if they have the old IP or new one or just plain none at all for your server...

Re: [Samba] Changed PDC IP, all hell broke lose
I'm in a similar situation, and have run into your issue once. I work at a hospital, have several freebsd boxes running samba and joined to the Windows-based domain. I am *not* using my samba servers for auth, rather just depending on Active Directory for that. However, there are two things to check when it's acting like you have the wrong IP. 1st one is easy - on the samba box, please check the hosts file, I've made that mistake a couple times - change the IP but not the hosts file. 2nd one is if you login to a windows domain, you need to remove your node out of the directory - or have them do it. See, the box will be registered in A/D and it will have some information associated with it in A/D. I don't know the entirety of it, but removing the machine totally out of A/D has solved a number of problems for me - allowing me to re-join and proceed with the day. Good Luck!

It's most likely that your server has the old IP Address Cached in the wins.dat, browse.dat, browse.tdb. I recommend the following: Shutdown the windbind, nmbd and smbd services. Back up each of the above mentioned files. Delete the original above named files. Restart your services and then see if you can connect.

[Samba] Changed PDC IP, all hell broke lose
I had to move my RedHat 5 box acting as a PDC to a new IP address. It is running samba 3.5.10. After the move, none of my windows or linux samba clients worked anymore. I tried rejoining some to the domain, but would get error Unable to find a suitable server Join to domain 'MRIRESEARCH' is not valid The old PDC IP address is 132.183.202.95 and nothing is at that IP anymore (for 4 days now). The new IP is 172.21.21.35 I ran 'net -d 10 join' and would see it was still trying to connect to the old IP address. I tried 'net cache flush' to no avail. I shut down samba, removed every file in /var/cache/samba and still no change. It tries to go to the old IP address. On the PDC box, I increase 'os level' from 60 to 70, stopped the nmbd and smbd processes, did a 'net flush cache' and restarted nmbd and smbd. Still it fails and the nmbd log as the following. == [2012/09/04 10:09:25, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:857(main) nmbd version 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8 started.

[Samba] Is it possible to add user to samba without a system account?
hi, all I tested this in CentOS 6.4, with samba-common-3.5.10-114.el6.x86_64 samba-winbind-clients-3.5.10-114.el6.x86_64 samba-3.5.10-114.el6.x86_64 samba-swat-3.5.10-114.el6.x86_64 If foxban have a system account, invoking smbpasswd -a foxban works good. However, if foxban2 is not a system account, smbpasswd -a foxban2 gives me the follows: # smbpasswd -a foxban2 New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to add entry for user foxban2. Is it intended to? thanks Wang Li Regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

[Samba] [samba4] How to use my ldap users in sam.ldb?
Hi I successfully compiled samba4 on my ubuntu. Actually, most our Linux servers are using en openldap base to authenticate. All the samba 3 servers use this openldap base /passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.intra.labo.fr// (in the smb.conf) I tried to migrate the users account of my openldap database to internal samba4 ldap database. For this I used the myldap-pub.py script with this command line : /./myldap-pub.py --ldap_uri=ldap://ldap-server.labo.fr \// //--ldap_binddn="cn=admin,ou=administrateur,dc=labo,dc=fr" \// //--ldap_bindpwd="password" \// //--output_basedn="dc=labo,dc=fr" \// //--input_domain_name="DOMAIN" \// //--input_basedn="dc=labo,dc=fr" \// //--import_accounts=Users \// //--output_users_ou="ou=People" \// //--remove_input_attributes="a lot of useless attributes"// /and it successfully worked/. /This command line /./ldbsearch -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb '(objectClass=user)'/ shows me the exported records of openldap database But i'm unable to use these new records.
