RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Glen Babiano 2019-08-14 04:52:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a system update, Samba fails to start with "create_local_token failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Samba 4.9.1-6

Actual results:
Samba fails to start with "create_local_token failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

Expected results:
Samba should start successfully after the update.

Additional info:
Running the command below resolves the issue.
----- 
# net -s /dev/null groupmap add sid=S-1-5-32-546 unixgroup=nobody type=builtin
-----

However, customer is requesting that this be added by default instead of running the command manually after an update to avoid downtime. Additional information was gathered from idm-tech mailing list as per below:

The following snippet needs to be added to 'samba' package:

-----
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service.d/nobody.conf
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/net groupmap -s /dev/null add sid=S-1-5-32-546 unixgroup=nobody type=builtin ||:'
-----

Note that we have to use shell construct to avoid propagating non-zero result of running /usr/bin/net to systemd. Otherwise result of ExecStartPre would be should as failing even if it could be ignored with 'ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/net ...' -- you still will see it in 'systemctl status smb' in red color:

-----
  Process: 6630 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/net groupmap -s /dev/null add sid=S-1-5-32-546 unixgroup=nobody type=builtin (code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION)

While with shell's ||: it will be silent:

  Process: 6735 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/net groupmap -s /dev/null add sid=S-1-5-32-546 unixgroup=nobody type=builtin ||: (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2019-08-14 07:32:11 UTC 
The net command doesn't need to be run if winbind is running and Samba is configured correctly. It is likely that the customer is running sssd and did not start winbind which caused those issues.
Comment 3 Glen Babiano 2019-08-15 01:44:15 UTC 
Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the feedback.

I have reached out to the customer and here's what he has to say:
-----
I'm afraid that's not correct, we do start winbind before starting samba.
-----

Any other thoughts?

Thanks and regards,

Glen
Comment 5 Isaac Boukris 2019-08-27 10:32:49 UTC 
Hi, I seems to me that this issue was addressed upstream and the patch is actually included in the latest samba package samba-4.10.4-1.el7, please try using this package.
Comment 7 Glen Babiano 2019-09-12 06:58:06 UTC 
Hi Isaac,

Customer found that Samba version 4.10.x is available upstream but not on the RHEL 7 repos. Is there any chance this will be ported in RHEL 7?

Thanks and regards,

Glen
Comment 16 Andreas Schneider 2019-11-26 13:50:44 UTC 
Problems could happen if winbind is not running or idmap is not set up correctly. If this is the case there should be no problems. However we improved the code in this area.

1. Test using winbind and samba
================================

1. Join system to Windows 2012 R2 using realm with winbind and samba

[root@qe-blade-11 ~]# realm join -U Administrator --client-software=winbind --membership-software=samba -v CYGNUS.TEST

2. Run testparam

[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# net groupmap list
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> BUILTIN\guests
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> BUILTIN\administrators
Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> BUILTIN\users
[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# testparm

        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
        write list = @printadmin root

3. Start smb service and verify net groupmap list lists builtin groups

[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# systemctl start smb
[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# net groupmap list
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> BUILTIN\guests

[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# testparm

2. Configure  /etc/samba/smb.conf as below:

[global]
        server string = File Server
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        # log files split per-machine:
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        # maximum size of 200KB per log file, then rotate:
        max log size = 200
        log level = 2
        # Domain Config
        realm = CYGNUS.TEST
        workgroup = CYGNUS
        security = ADS
        kerberos method = secrets and keytab
        idmap config * : backend = autorid
        idmap config * : range = 1000000-19999999
        idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000
        template shell = /bin/bash
        template homedir = /home/%U


[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        valid users = %S, %D%w%S
        browseable = No
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes
[share1]

        path = /mnt/samba/share1
        comment = test share1
        writable = yes
        printable = no
</snip>

3. start winbind and smb service

[root@qe-blade-11 samba]# net groupmap list
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> 1000002
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> 1000000
