Installation and Upgrades / Master/Slave Samba Shares and User Accounts

« on: September 26, 2010, 12:16:05 am »

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a new PDC and slave file server.

The PDC is hosting the LDAP/Samba backend. The slave is a beefy box that has about 4 TB of shares that will replace a really old server that is about to die.

The users will authenticate off the PDC (Mac/Win) and then need to connect to the file server with the same network login account.

I have setup the PDC and can authenticate, SSH and mount the basic Samba shares from the PDC. The slave is setup and is replicating the user accounts but cannot login via samba shares on that server (or ssh or user corner, all fails).

When I setup a share on the slave it seems fine until I try to login. I have tried with both guest access on (and no ACL's) and also with user permissions turned on. Both ways authentication fails.

The slave is configured with the modules "Users and Groups", "User Corner" and "File Sharing". The samba configuration on the slave is not set to be a PDC.

In the samba log files I get this error:

[2010/09/25 18:00:59,  0] passdb/pdb_get_set.c:211(pdb_get_group_sid)
  pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for xxxx
[2010/09/25 18:00:59,  1] auth/auth_util.c:577(make_server_info_sam)
  User xxxx in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!
[2010/09/25 18:00:59,  0] auth/auth_sam.c:355(check_sam_security)
  check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER'

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Is there something configured wrong or is a slave not supported for samba shares, login, etc..

Thanks.
