Re: [Samba] winbind question

[daniel . jarboe]

every time a cron job runs I get this in my log.winbindd
[2002/10/17 13:45:00, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_group.c:winbindd_getgroups(815)
 user 'root' does not exist

the three important lines in my /etc/nsswitch.conf is:
passwd:     files winbind nisplus
shadow:     files nisplus
group:      files winbind nisplus

This is probably due to looking up secondary groups (i.e. the group:
line) not getpwnam() calls.

Okay, thank you, I think I finally get how this works:
When figuring out what groups jarboed is in, first /etc/groups gets hit for secondary groups. *After that, winbind gets hit to see if jarboed is in any other groups.* When "winbind use default domain = no" in smb.conf (the default) winbind doesn't bother checking because there is no domain associated with "jarboed", but when "winbind use default domain = yes" in smb.conf, winbind will hit the PDC to determine what groups MY_DOMAIN+jarboed is in and tack on the additional MY_DOMAIN+Domain Users, etc, groups to the list of secondary groups for jarboed?

And for system accounts that don't exist on the PDC (mostly all of them), winbindd_getgroups just spits up the error that there is no such domain user (like "root") to be in any groups?
