Here are the good news: winbindd doesn't crash anymore if german characters like öäü are used in user or group names. The bad news: The lookup of user or group names containing these characters fails. Trying "wbinfo -n DOMAIN\Domänen-Admins" creates the following entry in log.winbind: [2003/09/02 10:37:51, 0] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:rpc_api_pipe(419) cli_pipe: return critical error. Error was Call timed out: server did not resp ond after 10000 milliseconds Asking for users/groups without these characters works without problems. Samba is set up as an additional server in an exsting NT4-Domain. security = domain password server = * Many lookups fail because of the german standard groups Domänen-Benutzer Domänen-Admins Everyone with one of these as the primary group has problems accessing shares. E.g. opening a shared printer takes 10 seconds (timeout of rpc-call) and no print jobs are displayed.
With rc3 "wbinfo -n DOMAIN\\Domänen-Admins" just returns 'Could not lookup name DOMAIN\Domänen-Admins' No additional log entries. Lookup on names without öäü works still without problems.
Jeremy, here's the problem you predicted in winbindd.
Damn damn damn. I don't think we can get this fixed for official 3.0. It'll be in the first 3.0.1 release though :-(. I'll have to change the winbindd protocol to include a locale specifier in the packet format. Jeremy.
reseting target milestone. 3.0.1 has been frozen. WIll have to re-evaluate these.
This has been fixed a long time ago, right?
Guenther, I do not this this is fixed yet.
False alarm.
