Bug #1583: Groups not recognised when group enumeration turned off
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1583
Author: ross
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to:
Category: group
Target version:
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.5
Keywords: winbind samba groups group enum enumeration getgrent libnss nsswitch
When groups are not enumerable using the getgrent function puppet refuses to
acknowledge a groups existence, erroring with "Could not find group". This
makes it impossible to set file ownership to a group that isn't returned via a
call to getgrent.
The problem comes to light when using winbind with the "winbind enum groups"
option turned off, which is necesary in a large domain due to the huge number
of groups returned by this call (it can take minutes to complete).
This problem does not affect users, only groups - I also have user enumeration
disabled but can still use reference those users within puppet.
To reproduce:
1) Turn off group enumeration (exact method tends to be libnss plugin
dependent, only tested with winbind, although suspect problem will exist
whenever enumeration is disabled). In winbind this can be done by including the
line "winbind enum groups = no" in smb.conf.
2) Try and apply the following recipe: file {"/tmp/test": group =>
adsourcedgroup }
