We are using winbind. Stopping and restarting Samba does not cause the problem, only a reboot. nsswitch.conf was modified to add winbind to the passwd and groups tags:
passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind That was the only change to any nsswitch settings. Once security is set, everything works great. We just can't boot... without losing the security settings. After a reboot, and I see the uid and gid values, I tried a lookup (eg: wbinfo -S `wbinfo -U 1000`) to get the proper value and it comes back with just the number. Any ideas or comments before I take this to the samba list? On Friday 10 January 2003 07:53 am, you wrote: > The names are just reverse translations of the UID/GID values.
