I've tried to put together a test case in the bug description, but apparently I've overlooked something in the setup that isn't covered very clearly in the samba howtos, because even 'wbinfo -g' fails for me when trying to run this test.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: samba I encountered this bug on a hardy domain controller using winbind to fetch user/group informations from another NT domain (the Samba domain trusts the NT domain). Calling getent group just crashes winbindd, as seen in the log attached. - This is a bug known and fixed upstream [0] (in 3.2.6 and 3.3.0). - Fixing jaunty is a matter of uploading the latest 3.2 version or 3.3. - Fixing hardy requires backporting the patch (I successfully tested it already). Actually the bug is not fixed in any maintenance release of 3.0, and I'm not sure it will ever be (as it seems to be EOL), but I got upstream to confirm the fix is appropriate for this branch as well [1] and commit it [2]. - If someone is interested, we could also fix intrepid. I don't know about other releases. + TEST CASE: - [0] https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5906 - [1] http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2009-February/063155.html - [2] http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=db4a435d235bedf48d668a0f4418dd46f38044ed + 1. Install samba and winbind 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 from hardy-updates. + 2. Configure samba as an NT4 domain controller by setting 'domain logons = yes' in /etc/samba/smb.conf, and also set 'winbind enum users = yes' and 'winbind enum groups = yes' + 3. Restart samba and winbind with sudo /etc/init.d/winbind restart; sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart + 4. Set up a domain trust to another NT4 domain (Windows NT, or a second Samba instance) using the instructions at http://man.chinaunix.net/newsoft/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/InterdomainTrusts.html#id2577358 + 5. edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to list 'group: compat winbind' + 6. run 'getent group' and verify that the winbind service has stopped. + 7. upgrade samba and winbind to version 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.8 in hardy-proposed. + 8. run 'getent group' again to verify that the winbind service no longer crashes. -- getent group crashes winbindd on domain controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328874 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
