Re: [Samba] UID - high need to lower it for a test user - active directory auth
Which applications? I do know Microsoft Office products usually have some fine tuning when run with or without domain logins. Other than that; we would need more specifics to answer your problem... 1) You said the application being run was having problems, what error messages or problems? Try to be as complete as possible. Error id=371530 Fatal: Internal system error, cannot recover. Release = 'C-2009.06-1' Architecture = 'linux' Program = 'DVE' '164492884 142997729 164493463 -6912 -3174932 164440005 164565674 164214114 142860386 142254224 141374259 1732236' 2) Name the application if possible? Microsoft Excel, etc. VCS 7 DVE from Synopsys. BTW I am running this on Linux not windows (you mentioned Excel???!) * * 3) If a custom application, what type of access is giving the problem? Database, text file, binary file, permissions, etc. Error is: Error id=371530 Fatal: Internal system error, cannot recover. Release = 'C-2009.06-1' Architecture = 'linux' Program = 'DVE' '164492884 142997729 164493463 -6912 -3174932 164440005 164565674 164214114 142860386 142254224 141374259 1732236' 4) Is the problem random or only with users on the domain as oppose to the local machine accounts? The local machine accounts may have special permissions to access more features of the system. If the special application is taking advantage of these features it may not like the domain users. No UID / GID same groups, as mentioned previously the only difference is the high UID and the location of the home dir. 5) Calm down...

These users are all trying to run some proprietary software on the Linux machine, so they are not accessing Samba shares (or if they are that is not related to this problem.) -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

The higher UID for non-local users is normal and shouldn't be touched in most cases. This is to keep the local UIDs different significantly from the ones that are not local. The only problem you may be having would be if you have a huge number of local users.

Also, the primary group name of the domain users is Domain Users. i.e. it has a space in it. Since traditionally UIDs and GIDs were 16 bit numbers, I thought it was possible that this commercial software somehow did not like the large UIDs/GIDs.
