I also confirm this issue for Trusty with v. 4.1.6. It seems that the order in which the gids are evaluated is crtical, in that NO groups (including those with valid gids) are resolved after the first incidence of a group with missing gid, and therefore group memberships after this are simply missing. This ordering seems consistent for a given user, but varies between users.
I was able to apply the upstream patch to the 4.1.6 source package which is current in Trusty. Recompiling & reapplying the samba packages resolved the issue. The patch is quite simple (4 lines) & it would be nice if this could be backported to trusty (and utopic?) at some point; would be especially useful to prevent future updates to these packages from (re)breaking gid resolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307778 Title: getent group on trusty returns only local groups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1307778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
