I've discovered what's happening here. On the Debian etch development box that these steps worked, the IP address is set statically, outside the normal DHCP range. On the Ubuntu 8.04 workstation that I performed the above, the IP address was set dynamically.
I discovered that I could work around this problem by giving the workstation a manual IP address and registering it with DNS. If I then re-join the domain, I can properly enumerate users and groups and log in. This seems to either be a bug or by design, but something is definitely wrong if I have to set a static IP by hand in Linux but not in Windows. -- wbinfo fails to enumerate users and groups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
