Samba: winbind database getting out of whack

July 29th, 2008 — photos, tech how-to

Was having some trouble with a few users not able to access their home directories on a Samba server.

/var/log/samba/log.smbd showed:

[2008/07/29 09:36:52, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(319)  check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [username] -> [username] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
[2008/07/29 09:36:52, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(1191)  hostname (10.10.10.10) couldn't find service username

Testing:

  • Their Active Directory account was good.
  • On file server, kinit username worked.
  • On file server, wbinfo -u returned that user.
  • On file server, net user returned that user.
  • On file server, wbinfo -i username returned “Could not get info for user username“.

The problem ended up being a corrupted /var/cache/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb.  Moved the file, restarted samba, and after a couple of minutes, everyone was back.  The only problem was that that file contained the map of username to UID.  When it recreated, nothing matched up.  So I had to change ownership of everyone’s stuff.  Easy enough to do with perl:

my @dirs = <*>;
for my $dir (@dirs) {
    next if $dir =~ /_/;
    system("chown -R \"$dir\:Domain Users\" $dir");
}

I’m in Seattle attending training at Allied Telesis for the week with Donnie and Sameer. I’ve been taking some pictures, and I’ve posted what I’ve got so far.

The training has been great so far: we’re learning how to configure some new DSL equipment I’ll be rolling out at work. We’re also having some great dinners. So far we’ve eaten at these places:

We’re staying at a nice hotel in downtown Seattle called Hotel 1000. Quiet, with modern decor and good art.

Downtown Seattle is a funny place. Like Atlanta, it’s moderately busy with suits during the day, but quieter and kind of seedy after dinner. There are more homeless people than I would have expected, but it’s hard to tell who’s homeless and who’s just scruffy. It doesn’t feel dangerous.

Georgia on Fire has some photos from the roof of the building where I work in downtown Atlanta. It shows how thick the smoke was when south Georgia was burning at the beginning of the summer.

I visited the High Museum last week with Mom and Dad to see the Annie Leibovitz exhibit from the Brooklyn Museum. Took a few photos… check them out.
