Description Kelvin Wood 2004-08-03 00:03:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
On boot, previous NT <-> UNIX id mappings for winbind are deleted as
they exist in the /var/lock/samba/* directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-common-3.0.4-6.3E

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup winbind for authentication.
2. Create files owned as a user from windows domain.
3. Reboot.
4. Observe files being reassigned owner privileges to another user (if
not an internal windows account).
  
Actual results:
The id mappings database gets lost, causing new id's to be reassigned
to users. This more often than not causes files to become owned by
different users.

Expected results:
The id mappings remain the same on reboot, causing the files to retain
proper permissions.

Patch to rc.sysinit

This patch stops /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit from deleting files in the
/var/lock/samba directory.
Comment 3 Jay Fenlason 2004-08-20 21:38:29 UTC 
samba-3.0.4-6.3E pusts the winbindd_cache.tdb and winbind_idmap.tdb 
files in /var/cache/samba, where they survive reboots just fine.  
Can you attach a copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to this bug?
