Public bug reported:
I´m using LDAP for groups and NFS for home dirs. My problem is as
follows:
I only have a few groups, so it's not the problem everyone else had.
When I've mounted a disk over NFS, I need to have my primary group in
order to read in the groups I'm a member of. Secondary groups is not
working.
Code:
r...@machine:/home/user# smbldap-groupshow secret
...
gidNumber: 1504
displayName: secret
memberUid: user,anotheruser
r...@machine:/home/user# su - user
u...@machine:~$ groups
users secret
u...@machine:~$ ls -ald ../secret/
drwxr-x--- 12 anotheruser secret 4096 2009-07-27 15:39 ../secret/
u...@machine:~$ cd ../secret/
bash: cd: ../secret/: Permission denied
u...@machine:~$ ls ../secret/
ls: cannot open directory ../secret/: Permission denied
But it works if I change the group to primary by hand with newgrp:
Code:
u...@machine:~$ newgrp secret
u...@machine:~$ cd ../secret/
u...@machine:/home/secret$ ls
Nice secrets.txt
But my users cannot be expected to do this!
The server where the real files are held (the NFS server) do not know
anything about users. And it shouldn´t, it´s only job is to export files
via NFS and do backups.
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
I'm truly brushed off my feet, I didn't know our server ran karmic
(!!!), I don't know what the other sysadmin was thinking. Anyway, it may
very well be related to that.
