Hi List, since the upgrade of a LDAP based PDC/BDC system to PDC/BDC and fileserver we have problems with users sporadic loolsing their homedirs. These events are unreproducible and only sporadic. Only the homedir not any of the other shares mounted from the fileserver are subject to this connection breakoff. The logs seem to suggest the username has been "forgotten" by the fileserver as the user wants to access this private share.
Attached find a portion of the logs from fileserver at the event of loosing a homedir (loglevel 3): [2008/07/15 09:43:01, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(221) check_ntlm_password: Checking password for unmapped user [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the new password interface [2008/07/15 09:43:01, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(224) check_ntlm_password: mapped user is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008/07/15 09:43:01, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(270) check_ntlm_password: guest authentication for user [] succeeded In the morning everything works ok like this: [2008/07/15 08:09:44, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(221) check_ntlm_password: Checking password for unmapped user [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the new password interface [2008/07/15 08:09:44, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(224) check_ntlm_password: mapped user is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008/07/15 08:09:44, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(270) check_ntlm_password: winbind authentication for user [myself] succeeded [2008/07/15 08:09:44, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(309) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [myself] -> [myself] -> [myself] succeeded Versions of Samba: The systems are running Debian Etch. PDC/BDC on Backports kernel 2.6.24-1-686, fileserver on stock Etch Kernel. Samba is installed as Sernet Etch Packages (http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/debian/ sernet-samba_3.0.28-21_i386.deb sernet-samba-common_3.0.28-21_i386.deb sernet-samba-doc_3.0.28-21_all.deb sernet-smbclient_3.0.28-21_i386.deb). We also tried sernet-samba versions 3.0.30-22 and 3.2.0-22 but to no avail. Samba configuration: PDC/BDC: [global] ... map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes template homedir = /home/%U veto files = /lost+found/users/ ... only shares [profiles] and [netlogon] fileserver: [global] ... security = domain map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes template homedir = /home/%U veto files = /lost+found/users/ [homes] comment = Heimatverzeichnis read only = No create mask = 0700 browseable = No Has anybody a clue why this could happen? Are there "magic" switches to be set with smb.conf on PDC/BDC if homedirs are not present on the authenticating servers or anything else we migght have overlooked? Any recommendation on how to track down this misbehaving?
