[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#652679: Possible solution to bug 652679?

[Jim Barber]

Hi.

Tonight I had a chance to tackle this problem again.

I upgraded to version 3.6.6-2 of the winbind package and I still had the same problem.

I ran a 'testparm -s' and it reported that the following entries in my configuration file were deprecated:

	idmap uid = 10000-20000
	idmap gid = 10000-20000

They were just the example entries in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file that I uncommented.

I commented these entries out again and replaced them with the following lines:

	idmap config * : backend = rid
	idmap config * : range = 10000-20000

I then restarted winbind.
At first, when running ls against my home directories the UIDs and GIDs were just showing numbers.
But a short while later they all looked correct (like it was building some sort of index somewhere).

Anyway, the problem now seems to have been fixed.
So maybe winbind not only deprecated those old options, but now doesn't work with them?

Anyway, it's something for the others who are having this problem to try.

Regards,
