New question #646591 on samba in Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/646591
Hi I use winbind (Version 4.3.11-Ubuntu) to authenticate Active Directory users on some Linux servers (nss + winbind). When I tried to create a local group, I got the message that the group already exists, but the group did not exist either locally or in Active Directory. It was then that when doing more tests I realized that all searches by a group that already has a user with the same name, it returns a false group as an existing one. I noticed that the problem occurred at least since Samba 4.1 on Ubuntu Linux. But in Oracle Linux / RedHat (Version 4.2.10) or even in old versions of Winbind (Version 3.6.3) in the old Ubuntu, I could not reproduce the same behavior, even using the same smb.conf file and adapted the default parameters that were different between the distributions. I have not found how to control this behavior in documentation or changelogs, could someone help me by indicating what controls this behavior?
