The error messages originates normally from the user token creation where smbd attempts to create the BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Users groups (only possible if the system is configured to support "winbind nested groups"). This is to mimic the adding of Domain Admins to the local Administrators group that happens on Windows hosts when they join a domain (or when you run dcpromo to create a domain controller). nss_wins does not use tokens (or has no need to I should say) and so really shouldn't be executing that code. But because of the the amount of shared code in Samba, you will see situations like this form time to time. Bottom line is that you can ignore the message from nss_wins. I think you have already discussed supported "winbind nested groups" using the idmap_uid and idmap_gid options. So I won't go into that. Hope this helps to explain things some. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJ2zq+IR7qMdg1EfYRApT+AKCmIIGaoTiLEx/rYuyLRZcxgX+92ACdGoxt svrJcquOXx1rrz+SUFE2NgA= =rXgj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
