Re: [Samba] Winbind cache problem after upgrade to 3.0.25b.
I suspect you are using Ubuntu (and/or Debian), which have a bug regarding the Winbind cache. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/118977 On Tue, 2007-07-24 at 11:24 +0100, Simon Ashford wrote: > Have just upgraded from 3.0.14a to 3.0.25b. > > On starting winbindd it puts the following in /var/log/messages: > > initialize_winbindd_cache: clearing cache and re-creating with version > number 1 > > All the winbind UID/GID mappings are lost and it starts again from > scratch.

It didn't even bother to make a backup copy. It's just a cache. Temporary high speed storage of lookups. By default, the data in the cache only lives for 300 seconds before winbind queries the server (again) for current mappings. If you're losing mappings or generating different mappings on a restart, something else is wrong. Not enough info here to make even an educated guess.

[Samba] Winbind cache problem after upgrade to 3.0.25b.
Have just upgraded from 3.0.14a to 3.0.25b. On starting winbindd it puts the following in /var/log/messages: initialize_winbindd_cache: clearing cache and re-creating with version number 1 All the winbind UID/GID mappings are lost and it starts again from scratch. Hence all file ownership / ACLs on this samba server become invalid. Anyone else seen this? Why does it see fit to destroy this important file in such a casual manner?! It didn't even bother to make a backup copy. Thanks in advance for any help...
