We are running Fedora Core 3 Test 1 (kernel-2.6.8-1.541.i686) with Samba-3.0.7 installed. The samba file server has joined the Windows 2003 ADC forest as a member server. The problems is: The winbind does not fetch/update with latest user accounts/group accounts from the Windows 2003 ADC controller. For example, After we have changed windows 2003 Group names or added addtional user groups. But we can not apply these new groups to a samba share/folders/files. The samba reports the groups are invalid. We tried to use winbind cache time = 0 or restart smb/nmbd/winbind daemons, but they did not solve the problems.
We have upgraded to Samba-3.0.8pre1 codes. It is showing the update and new groups+users mappings.
Fixed in 3.0.8
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
