As per my message an hour or so ago, I'm trying to get the winbind that comes with Debian 3.0 Samba 2.2.3a-12 configured to allow me to telnet into the box with authentication handed off to a real NT domain.
Anyway, even before I really get started, I find what seems to be an obvious, simple and annoying buggette - if I stop and restart winbind (the sort of thing you do a lot at this stage) then it fails to restart, with this message in "/var/log/samba/log.winbindd" : "invalid permissions on socket directory /tmp/.winbindd" Here's the permissions : /etc# ls -ld /tmp/.w* drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 21:33 /tmp/.winbindd A quick Google Groups search (Samba.org's own archives being unsearchable) comes up with just one hit : http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22invalid+permissions+on+socket+directory +/tmp/.winbindd%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=b29cf7d1.0301240738.6e61 2f4a%40posting.google.com&rnum=1 This guy's solution certainly works for me (simply rename the faulty socket directory out of harm's way), but ... surely you folks saw this buggette a few lightyears ago down the way. Is it a known bug ? Does a later Samba 2.2.x version fix it ? Cheers, > Nick Boyce > EDS Southwest Solution Centre, Bristol, UK >
