Description Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-05-22 14:01:48 UTC
Here's the log snippet:

get_domain_user_groups: searching domain groups [jerry] is a member of
ldapsam_open: cannot access LDAP when not root..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Connection to LDAP Server failed for the 1 try!
LDAP search failed: Insufficient access
Query was: dc=plainjoe,dc=org, (objectclass=sambaGroupMapping)
Unable to open passdb
000000 samr_io_r_query_usergroups
    0000 ptr_0       : 00000000
    0004 status: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_GROUP

To reproduce, just try setting the wallpaper for the 
desktop on an XP client by browsing a samba file share.
Use the display control applet on the XP client to 
set the wall paper.

Comment 2 Ignacio Coupeau 2003-05-27 10:17:40 UTC
Also the logs reports a ldapsam_retry_open() failure:
...

  ldapsam_open: cannot access LDAP when not root..

...
a bad pointer in the ldap passwd?
Comment 3 Ignacio Coupeau 2003-05-27 11:37:10 UTC
 I think the ldapsam_setsamgrent() is called as the uidNumber of the user. In
this example the geteuid() from in the ldapsam_open() returns "20034" the
uidNumber for the user "555555-5" (I modified the DEBUG line).

[2003/05/27 20:28:37, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(1949)
  Entry found for user: 555555-5
...
  ldapsam_open: cannot access LDAP when not root... 20034
Comment 4 Tim Potter 2003-06-04 18:29:58 UTC
From a brief scan through the code, it looks like the ldapsam_setsamgrent() is
called only by the pdb_enum_group_mapping() function.  There are several
occurences of this throughout the RPC server code, only one of which is enclosed
by a become_root()/unbecome_root() pair.
Comment 5 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-06-23 10:04:50 UTC
fixed by enclosing group enumerating in become/unbecome root.
Although I think this needs to be reworked so that the 
become/unbecome root is handled by the backend for certain 
operations.  This way we dond't have to become root for a 
tdbsam that is world readble.

originally reported against 3.0aph24.  Bugzilla spring cleaning.  
Removing old alpha versions.

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