Ubuntu 6.06 and winbind/getent

[webman]

We have a couple of Ubuntu 6.06 servers here, both set up very similar to this.

 

On only one of our servers, getent passwd isn't pulling across all of the domain accounts; but wbinfo -u is.

 

admin@bbs-ftp-001:/$ wbinfo -u|grep craig.rodway
craig.rodway
admin@bbs-ftp-001:/$ getent passwd|grep craig.rodway
admin@bbs-ftp-001:/$

 

Here's part of the /var/log/samba/log.winbindd file after running getent passwd:

It's a bit of a problem as I have a script that sets permission on directories and need to use winbind for PAM authentication.

 

Samba version is 3.0.22 on both Ubuntu 6.06 servers. We also have 2 other CentOS boxes with similar Samba/AD integration and their getent passwd is working fine (eg. returning the same domain users as wbinfo -u does)

 

Anybody had similar problems or know where I can start to diagnose this?

 

Cheers

the idmap database is corrupt. Restore the file from backup.

[webman]

Ok, hypothetically speaking, say I'd forgotten to include tdbbackup in my backup script... would it be possible to re-generate the TDB file?

[Geoff]

No, your only other option is to delete it. Then if you restart samba, it'll generate a fresh, empty one. However you'll then lose your unix id <-> NT SSID mappings. Which could be tedious.

[webman]

Okay. That shouldn't be too much of a problem I don't think. My current cron script that creates home directories recursively chmod/chowns the home directories to their username. That should work with a new idmap DB shouldn't it?

 

Thanks Geoff.

[Geoff]

yes, that should be fine

[webman]

Cool. Cheers Geoff

 

EDIT: It's now worked, all permissions/ownerships have been reset using newly-generated uids
