The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Samba Winbind wbinfo -u fails with "Error looking up domain users"

Tags: looking, up, domain, error, users
Dear Experts...
  This one is driving me nuts. I have samab with winbind setup and have proceeded to setup samba, setup kerberos, and join the Active Directory.  I can use the kinit and kpasswd tools to check/change passwords on the Active Directory.  Everything seems to be going smooth until wbinfo -u.  Then I get "Error looking up domain users".
net rpc join -U Administrator reports a sucessful join.
Active Directory shows the unix server's computer account
wbinfo -t reports sucess
wbinfo -g reports BuiltIn groups only

OS: RedHat EL 3
Samba: Version 3.0.9-1.3E.3

What is up with this?   From what I recall I followed the exact same proceedures for another setup and it worked just fine.
I really need this soon.  Thanks!!  -Cheers, Peter.

Do you have WINS server around somewhere so samba can query PDC ???
It needs IP address by your resolve order...
 
07.16.2005 at 08:09PM PDT, ID: 14460094
Yes...  The wins server is also the PDC.
It is denoted in the line "wins server = server1.example.com"
But there is also a line entry in the hosts file to resolve the PDC's IP address.
I did ping communication tests between the servers with both the FQDN and abreviated name and all worked fine.

Does your PDC know itself by name you call it in /etc/hosts ???

@$#%#@$!!!!
   Ok... I was very stupid...
My /etc/hosts entries were wrong and I didn't check them since I was able to join the domain and ping the server.
I forgot to include the short name of the server in the hosts file instead of just the fqdn.  That is why it was junking out.
Thanks for the memory jog gheist.  I am feeling very stuipd at this point.  :-P

Thanks again! Cheers, Peter.
