I've no idea what's going wrong but somehow winbind doesn't seem to be able to fetch users from *any* domain. Joining my workstation to my domain is not a problem and also wbinfo works quite fine. But when trying to fetch domain-user information typing 'getent passwd' I only get my local user-accounts listed. I've already posted a more detailed description of the problem at bug-report #5973 but so far I've received no answer to that. Could anyone please give a short statement / update about what's being done about this? - Just to let people know you're on it. Feeling pretty left alone with a problem that no one seems to care about. Thanks.
Is it exactly the same problem as described in #5973? Do you use the idmap_adex backend as well? If not, please attach your smb.conf settings.
Does only "getent passwd" fail to give domain users? "id domain\\user" works? "getent passwd domain\\user" works? Listing domain users with "getent passwd" only works when you have set "winbind enum users = yes" in smb.conf. Correspondingly with "winbind enum groups = yes" for "getent group". They both default to "no". Cheers - Michael
Hi Karolin and Michael, thanks a lot for responding. Yes, the problem described in bugreport 5973 is exactly the one I have and yes, I do use the adex-backend. I will upload my smb.conf-file anyway, maybe there really is something wrong with it - but then: why did the exact same configuration work perfectly with 3.3.0rc1? - this is what I don't understand. Michael, not only 'getent passwd' doesn't work but 'getent passwd domain\\user' and 'id domain\\user' as well. The only thing that seems to work is 'wbinfo'. I just don't know what else I could try - I even joined my workstation to different domains - with the same result.

Created attachment 3910 [details] nsswitch.conf used with samba 3.3.0 hi, just uploaded the nsswitch.conf file we've used with 3.3.0rc1 as well as 3.3.0. If you need anything else just ask. Greetings Christina.
hmm, if this is exactly the same as bug #5973, we should resolve this as duplicate.
no problem - would be easier to manage anyway.
