Description rem 2010-11-16 10:47:08 UTC
Hi,

The issue is on a Debian server, using samba and winbind 3.5.6.

# wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret for domain 3S-LAB via RPC calls succeeded

# net ads testjoin
Join is OK

If you "unix charset != UTF8" it's a duplicate of
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7594

Can you test this patches
https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=6042
or the current v3-5-test git branch?

Right from the log messages "ndr_pull_error(1): String terminator not present or outside string boundaries" in winbindd communication, I also guess that this is a duplicate of Bug #7594. Of course, this needs verification (by comparing your smb.conf , especially the "unix charset" parameter).

Oh, yes, I didnt' found this bug report when searching for (even with the ndr_pull_error keyword).

I will test it on our test server. For now, changing 
unix charset = iso8859-15
for
unix charset = UTF8
works for me. Seems to be the same issue.

I resolve bug as duplicate.

Please note that if you change unix charset to utf8, you might
need to use 'convmv' to change the file names on disk.
Otherwise you may serve corrupted file names to the clients.

Yes, I dunno that. Thx for your advice !

So depending on the (amount of) files you have,
it might be better to use a patched version of
samba or wait for 3.5.7... But as Metze said,
convmv is there to help you ... :-)
