I have just struggled to implement a Samba Domain Server, and have some remaining issues.

I have a Samba PDC using tdbsam, managing a domain called RHEA.

I have (finally) configured a new Samba Domain Server (AUREUS) using winbind and idmap_rid.

When I am logged in to RHEA as user GMCH I can access a TMP share on AUREUS (at last).

Running 'getent passwd' I get (inter alia):

 RHEA\gmch:*:12000:10513:....

and 'getent group' gives:

 RHEA\domain users:*:1053:RHEA\gmch:...

When I create files on TMP I find that they are owned by 'root' and in the group 'RHEA\domain users', eg:

 -rwxr--r-- 1 root RHEA\domain users 8 Feb  8 20:29 Hello Samba

The group is fine.

QUESTION: why is the file owner not RHEA\gmch ?

I note that 'RHEA\gmch' and 'RHEA\domain users' are apparently disabled as far as getent can see -- so I suppose that's what winbindd is telling it. Is this the problem ?

I have told the pam set up to use winbindd.  No change.

I note that I can chown 'RHEA\gmch', but I cannot su 'RHEA\gmch' (su just quietly fails, and I stay as root).

If I put 'force user = RHEA\gmch' into a [TMP] share, the share becomes unusable !

What am I missing ?? Am I expecting too much ? [Though given that I can chown to RHEA\gmch, I'd have thought that samba could ??]
