Hi Andreas,
I cannot show you the share definitions because I use the valid users
"settings" which contains the real names of lots of my users, but I can
show you the "Global Parameters".
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = OURWORKGROUP
server string = %h
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
unix extensions = No
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
idmap config * : backend = tdb
invalid users = root
Could there be a mistake in the configuration of the "idmap config"
directive in my smb.conf file?
>From the official samba documentation, "this is the mapping mechanism to
map POSIX user IDs and group ID to SIDs (Security Identifiers)
Is there something that might have changed from samba3 to samba4?
I mention this because at this stage I have a hard time if this bug is
specific to my config or more general.
I appreciate your effort to troubleshoot this with me. I want to
reinstall the complete OS and create all users over the Christmas break
to see if I can reproduce the issues or not on the same version of
Ubuntu, but I am unsure as to when exactly I might be able to do this.
Can we lower the priority of this bug and come back to it once I have
had the chance to attempt to reproduce it by recreating all users from
the scratch?
I feel the problem must be with the way that smbstatus accesses and
validates the user database, but right now it is just a hunch because
when I print the list of users with "pdbedit -L", they all appear
correctly and everything else works great, including logging of "Share
Access" by users.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
