 returns no results. Trying net rpc group -S nuada on our master server
 returns nothing either.

LDAP Changes


There has also been a minor update the Samba LDAP schema file. A
substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
definition.  For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file.  It
will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There
has been no change to actual data storage schema.

[Samba] Samba Groups Vanished

Hi,
Our Samba Groups appear to have vanished.

I've verified this by trying, net group /domain in windows and it
returns no results. Trying net rpc group -S nuada on our master server
returns nothing either.
net rpc info on both our master and backup return

Domain Name: DIAS
Domain SID: S-1-5-21-463069746-3761697030-3888642000
Sequence number: 1156762378
Num users: 63
Num domain groups: 0
Num local groups: 0

Groups used work until recently and they exist in our ldap database. We
have a primary domain controller with the master ldap database on it and
a backup domain controller with a slave ldap database on it. Our version
of samba is Version 3.0.23 and openldap is 2.3.24

and below are the relevant sections of smb.conf from our PDC

[global]
workgroup = DIAS
netbios name = NUADA
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
local master = Yes
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1

# User pass configuration
security = user
encrypt passwords = true

# LDAP Configuration

domain logons = Yes
wins support = Yes
ldap suffix = dc=cp,dc=dias,dc=ie
ldap machine suffix = ou=people
ldap user suffix = ou=people
ldap group suffix = ou=group
ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
ldap admin dn = cn=samba,ou=specialusers,dc=cp,dc=dias,dc=ie
idmap backend = ldap:ldap://127.0.0.1
idmap uid = 1-2
idmap gid = 1-2
map acl inherit = Yes
- 

Trying an ldapsearch to show groups exist in ldap returns..

ldapsearch -x -b cn=geotech,ou=group,dc=cp,dc=dias,dc=ie

dn: cn=geotech,ou=group,dc=cp,dc=dias,dc=ie
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
cn: geotech
gidNumber: 1932
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-463069746-3761697030-3888642000-4865
sambaGroupType: 2
displayName: geotech
memberUid: lcollins
memberUid: choran
memberUid: seismo

I've cut out configuration statements for
briefness but if you need them I can post them. Thanks in advance.

Try improve the debuglevel (-d) when using net, it could
reveal some nice information to help you out (and also help the
rest of us to help you). :-)

 have a primary domain controller with the master ldap database on it and
 a backup domain controller with a slave ldap database on it. Our version
 of samba is Version 3.0.23 and openldap is 2.3.24

Any special event between it working and non-working
status? Maybe a power failure, disk failure, system upgrade,
LDAP changes, anything...

So, as I understood, the group *is* there. :-)

Could you try to check 'net groupmap' man page
section, it perhaps could give you more info (do not forget
about the debuglevel).

Hope this helps.
