Description Benjamin Coles 2004-02-01 01:09:15 UTC
I've been following this bug closely but nothings been done since my mention of 
it during the upgrade path to 3.0. The following also only happens when a user 
logs out of the computer.

Problem:
Failed to open group mapping database

Solution to this problem:
"chmod 666 group_mapping.tdb" 

this fixes the problem but creates another with LDAP saying not enough access:
ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error:
  (Insufficient access) 

In which there is no solution at the present time... or I haven't found one. 
I've also got a "User has an invalid RID this should be fixed error" but I 
think it's related to the above error since the above error does mappings. 
Thanks in advance=)

This is the problem in debug level 10

there's no 'failed to open group...' error in your log.
I need more defaults on how to reproduce this and possibly 
a level 10 debug log.

Log of default configuration as requested

This log file has the /var/cache/samba/group_mapping.tdb chmoded 600 where the
last one had it 666. Also in both cases Administrator is able to login and
errors don't show up but when you login with a Power User or Domain User it
spits out those errors.

need to surround get_group_from_gid() (called 
from  get_alias_user_groups()) in a become_root() block.

to remove preX and rcX versions.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
