[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#506109: winbind: /usr/lib/samba/nss_info/rfc2307.so missing (needs to be symlinked?)

[Martin Dag Nilsson]

Package: winbind
Version: 2:3.2.4-1
Severity: important


We are researching samba/winbind to integrate our debian machines to Active Directory.
We specify 'winbind nss info = rfc2307' in smb.conf to get shell/homedir information from Active Directory, but it falls back to using the template backend.

Running '/usr/sbin/winbindd -inS -d 3' we can see the following error:
"Error loading module '/usr/lib/samba/nss_info/rfc2307.so': /usr/lib/samba/nss_info/rfc2307.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Looking under /usr/lib/samba shows that there is no nss_info directory.

When creating the dir /usr/lib/samba/nss_info and making /usr/lib/samba/nss_info/rfc2307.so a symlink to /usr/lib/samba/idmap/ad.so, everything works as expected. Don't know if this is a problem upstream or a packaging problem, but a fix is needed.
The same probably applies to sfu.so, but we haven't tried that one since we are not using it.
