From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: After a clean install of Fedora with samba I noticed this issue: When starting the winbind daemon using the service winbind start command, I get FAILED. The log file /var/log/samba/winbindd.log has the following message: [2004/02/09 13:47:06, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(832) winbindd version 3.0.0-15 started. Copyright The Samba Team 2000-2003 [2004/02/09 13:47:06, 0] nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:winbindd_param_init(445) winbindd: idmap uid range missing or invalid [2004/02/09 13:47:06, 0] nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:winbindd_param_init(446) winbindd: cannot continue, exiting. I asked around, and this nice guy in #samba at the freenode network told me to add the following to my /etc/samba/smb.conf: idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 I did, and then winbind started fine. If these two lines are required to make winbind start, why aren't they included in the default configuration? I know of atleast two others who had the very same issue, the two lines above added to smb.conf fixed it in their case as well as mine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.2-7.FC1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba 2. service winbind start 3. Watch it fail and the error in the log 4. Add the two lines mentioned above 5. Watch it start as it should
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Many changes have occurred since these older releases. Please install a supported version of Fedora Core and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Thanks!
