Description Michael D. Jurney 2003-11-13 13:39:01 UTC
Using ldapsam, any RID that contains a letter is truncated at the first letter
occurance and returned with that value.  For example:

dn: gid=accounting,ou=groups,dc=mycompany,dc=com
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
cn: example_group
gidNumber: 2771
memberUid: testuser
sambaGroupType: 2
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-S-1-5-21-2022155550-1266666646-777777747--ad3

net groupmap returns this listing with a null RID:
accounting (S-1-5-21-S-1-5-21-2022155550-1266666646-777777747--0) -> accounting

Further, A user with the following:
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-S-1-5-21-2022155550-1266666646-777777747-4b0

shows up with the RID truncated at the first letter:

pdbedit -L -v -u example_username:
Unix username:        example_username
NT username:          example_username
Account Flags:        [UX         ]
User SID:             S-1-5-21-2022155550-1266666646-777777747-4
Primary Group SID:    S-1-5-21-2022155550-1266666646-777777747-513
Comment 1 Andrew Bartlett 2003-11-16 01:57:47 UTC
Indeed, we should fail to parse such a rid and bail out.  It is not a valid format.
Comment 2 Andrew Bartlett 2003-11-16 02:08:53 UTC
Given this only happens on incorrect manual ldap backend manipulation, of groups
only (users do not suffer this bug) this really is minor

not going to fix this one.  Can't prevent everything admins do
(but shouldn't) outside of Samba.
