Don.

So we all agree it was a breakdown in communication.  Volker
is working with Ronald and has already sent a briefly written
patch to try to address some of the domain local group issues.

Quite frequently it takes several days worth of email to come
to a consensus on what the proper behavior should be and if
everyone has a solid understanding on how it actually works in
Windows.

Don,

Please allow me to clarify.  We are not ignoring this class of
bugs.  We are simply saying that the issue is harder to fix that
people realize.  It's not an issue of making enough noise
for us to realize that there is a problem.  Volker already
acknowledged that.  So rather than treating it as a simple bug
to be fixed, we are trying to deal with the larger set of issues
surrounding it.   Thanks for being patient.


Jerry,

I don't think the issue is patience.   Perhaps you (the samba team) 
have your own meaning assigned to each level in the system -- perhaps 
feature enhancement means something more to you internally than it 
does to us on the outside.


To me, the inconsistency between what the group membership reported 
via winbind and via the net command, alone, would be enough to rate a 
bug in ay of the development projects I am involved with.   My 
original severity rating as major was intended to indicate the 
level of impact this problem is having in our implementation, for 
lack of anything else to base the initial severity rating on.


When someone then gets told closed - won't fix this, that is seen 
as a dismissal.  (Go away, find another solution...)  When one is 
told that this is not a bug, but a feature enhancement, this too is 
seen as a dismissal -- albeit to a slightly lesser degree.   From the 
outside looking in, it appears that the team does not recognize this 
as a problem.


If instead the response was: yes, this inconsistency is a problem 
(bug) -- the causes however, are particularly insidious, and will 
take some major reworking and the fixing of contributory problems 
before we can properly address this.  This is going to take a while, 
so don't expect any progress on this soon.  This would have been 
closer to the point I think you are trying to make...


Also, documenting this as a known limitation in the interim might be 
helpful -- especially to others designing systems around Samba with 
the expectation that winbind group handling is the same as in W2K(3)...


Cheers,
-D

RE: [Samba] Problem with Universal Groups

2006-03-03 Thread Trimble, Ronald D
This is exactly what I am seeing.  I think this should be reopened as a
bug.  I could easily provide all of the diagnostics since I have it set
up like this right now.

The strange thing is, I can get it to work with Domain Global groups,
but not Universal groups which shows the SID properly.  Domain Local
doesn't work at all unless the user is in the same domain as the group.

How do we get this escalated?

Check your winbind group memberships -- I'm willing to bet that your 
winbind will only show group membership for users in the same domain 
as the group.   We are seeing the same mis-behavior here.   Group 
members from other domains are simply not being enumerated by winbind 
as a group member (getent group), even though the other-domain user 
itself is properly listed (getent passwd).

I tried to report this as a bug, but it was closed/reopened as a 
feature request.  Discussion was left that I had to prove that the 
other-domain user can successfully connect to a resource with 
permissions mapped directly to that other-domain user, but fails to 
connect to the same resource when permissions are mapped to a domain 
local group in the local server's domain that contains the 
other-domain user.(I have yet to create this test-case because of 
unrelated time-constraints...)

I can't speak for Domain Universal/Global groups -- our read of the 
MS documentation indicated that other-domain users were not valid 
within Universal/Global groups, but were in a Domain Local Group.


As far as trying to at least get Domain Local group handling fixed in 
winbind, I would suggest looking at Bug 3530 on 
bugzilla.samba.org.   The more people that can show similar failure
