[Samba] wbinfo -u fails on RHEL5

2007-09-30 Thread herman

Hi guys,

Pulling my hair out...

Version: RHEL5 straight off the CDs, no patches.
Active Directory: Win2003 with SP2

I'm experiencing confusing problems when logging onto an Active 
Directory system.  I have gotten it to work perfectly, but after a few 
days/weeks it screws up for no apparent reason.  Windows XP clients 
still work perfectly.  Linux clients show signature and packet errors, 
'wbinfo -u' is unable to retrieve user information and login fails. 

I have installed everything from scratch on a test machine on Friday and 
it fails right off the bat with the same errors as the systems that 
worked before.  I am now installing the whole kettle of fish on VMware 
so I can experiment better.


Has anyone seen this and know where I should start digging?

Cheers,

Herman

i run centos5 on several machines, that all auth via active directory.  i've
found that they will occasionally fail because of a slight change in the
time.

make sure that you have ntp setup to sync with your DC and do a 'net time
set'

I'm aware of the Kerberos time requirements and do a 'net time set -S 
w.x.y.z' with the ADS from cron.hourly, so this is not the issue.  I can 
join the domain, which uses Kerberos, so Kerberos is happy.  I can also 
do 'kinit [EMAIL PROTECTED]', but 'smbclient -k ...' fails, 'wbinfo 
-u' returns nothing and login doesn't work since the username isn't found.


I'm beginning to suspect that it is an ADS configuration issue and has 
something to do with how I define security groups, which causes winbindd 
to blow up.  So, I'm going to try the latest version of Samba and see 
how that goes, if I can just figure out how to compile the thing with 
the options that RedHat needs.


Anyhoo, glad to hear that it is stable for you, so it must be something 
I do different in the configuration.


Cheers,

H.
