Description Aaron Holmes 2008-05-16 16:44:11 UTC
First off I wasn't sure who to report this bug to - it might be the freebsd dev teams responsibility..

wbinfo -u shows AD users, however pw user show -a only shows local users (same with group lists)

/var/log/messages is filled with
May 16 14:35:19 fileserver winbindd[15426]: [2008/05/16 14:35:19, 0] nsswitch/idmap.c:idmap_alloc_init(750)

I found (via google) the same issue on a number of systems but for older versions of samba - no idea if the issue persists, or if it's fixed in 3.0.28a (waiting on port update if so)
Comment 1 Aaron Holmes 2008-05-16 16:48:25 UTC
Sorry, forgot to change the OS
Comment 2 Aaron Holmes 2008-05-19 17:31:40 UTC
I changed "idmap backend" to "idmap backend = tdb" and it seems to be working with samba-3.0.28a. "ad" still returns the same errors, so i'll leave this bug open if someone else wants to pick it up.
Comment 3 Björn Jacke 2013-02-05 13:49:47 UTC
sorry for not coming to this earlier. I think this is not an isue any more. In any case, don't use the deprecated parameters "winbind use default domain" and "winbind enum users/groups". Also "password server" should be automatically got via DNS and not set manually. If you still see the problem with a cleared config with 3.6 or 4.0 please reopen this bug! Thanks.
