Hi guys and girls,
I know from looking at the lists this topic has been covered many times
before, but I don't seem to be able to find the answers I'm looking for,
or at least I'm missing them. Sorry if this has already been covered
and I missed it.
Background.
===========
I have a small network of developers who need to use windows machines as
some of the tools we require are Windoze only :-(. Being a bunch of
Linux people we opted to try and do everything under Cygwin using make
etc so our build system works on both platforms. So far so good. In an
effort to keep things neat and tidy I have created a Samba PDC so user
profiles follow people around, and people work on the same filestore
regardless of being on Windows / Linux. The Samba server is a Debian
Woody box using Samba 3.0.5 from www.backports.org.
I have pasted in my configuration for the Samba server at the end of the
email under the section "Configuration and tool output".
Domain logons seem to be fine, profiles are being saved correctly and
windows usage itself is hunky dory.
The output from cygcheck -s is at the bottom underneath the smb.conf.
The problem.
============
My Samba server has the group mapping database populated, this is the
entry for my user in the group map.
dan (S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001) -> dan
This is the output from pdbedit for my user

There actually seems to be a few problems with the setup, but I'm not
sure if they are related.
First of all there seems to be an inconsistency with the Cygwin tools
for creating the passwd and group files.
If I run mkpasswd -d to get my domain user details I get
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j] $ mkpasswd -d
dan:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:13000:13001: \
Dan Alderman,U-180SOFTWARE\dan,S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3000: \
//gawain/dan:/bin/bash
And then for the group details I get this
[EMAIL PROTECTED] j] $ mkgroup -d
dan:S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3000:13001:
You may have noticed that this seems somewhat inconsistent as according
to the groupmap output my group id is this (notice the 3001 on the end)
dan (S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001) -> dan
Does this mean there is an off by 1 error somewhere in the tools? If I
put these entries as shown into /etc/group and /etc/passwd respectively
an ls in a cygwin terminal gives me:
-rwxr--r-- 1 dan ???????? 0 Aug 13 09:52 test
This is with the CYGWIN variable set to smbntsec. If I edit /etc/group
manually and change the line to read:
dan:S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001:13001:
(Notice the ...140500845-3000 is now ...140500845-3001) I get sensible
output from an ls -l as shown. The permissions even match what is on
the server :-)
-rwxr--r-- 1 dan dan 0 Aug 13 09:52 test
Is this to be expected, has it been seen before? Could something be
corrupt somewhere or is this just a bug? I also cannot chown the files
from the Cygwin terminal, I get permission denied. Is that expected?
I also have a problem with XEmacs on Cygwin. I installed using the
"all/unix" mode rather than "myself/native". XEmacs seems unable to
write a file on the network share, whenever it tries I get a
Opening output file: Permission denied, /cygdrive/j/.xemacs/recent
(That error was created when trying to exit, I ended up having to kill
the process).
I shall try XEmacs using the native mode install and see if that makes a
difference, but I'd really like to use the non native version as the
path names are unix style.
If anyone can help shed some light on the situation it would be most
appreciated, I been trying to fix this for almost a week now and it's
getting very frustrating.
Many thanks for taking the time if you got this far :-) Any help is
most appreciated.
Kind regards,
Dan.
