I'm using Samba 3 as a PDC with an Openldap backend and also have a number of Samba domain member servers that lookup the ldap directory for their account information. I use ssh to perform various administration tasks. There is an account called Administrator in the LDAP directory that has a UID of 0 . However, after nscd has been started, the next time i login to one of the member servers using the root account my username is reported as Administrator and not as root as expected. This causes various issues with ssh keys etc..
I have the following lines in my nsswitch.conf file.
passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap
grepping the output of 'getent passwd' for x:0:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Administrator:x:0:5001:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash
When i stop the nscd service the behaviour of the system returns to normal.
I apologise if this topic is not directly samba related. However, i'm sure somebody else must have come accross this behaviour.
Thanks, Ian
