Just saw the updates to this bug... Hi Michael
thanks for your work on knocking samba packages into better shape over the last few months. You asked: > Vincent, do you, by a chance, have the same usernames in > /etc/passwd and in the AD your samba server joined? Yes, we have the same usernames (and uids) in both. This is by design and has worked for many years. It continues to work, I have machines running version 2:4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u4 with no issue. I think this bug can be closed. I was actually doing something unsupoprted before, but got away with it for a while. As I outlined in message #20 making the now-required config change fixed it in my environment. I think Thibalt's issue is different, he has kerberos set up and security = ads on version 4.13, all of which means quite different code paths. Kind regards Vince
