Hello List,

I have created a setup consisting of :

1. Samba-PDC server running Centos Linux 4.4, 32 bit, Samba version 3.0.9.1.3E.10, named A

2. This server is joined by three Samba workstations running Centos Linux 4.4, 32 bit, Samba version 3.0.9.1.3E.10, Named B, C & D.

The workstations (B, C & D) are authenticated by PDC (A). There are Unix groups on PDC which are converted to NT-groups on A (PDC), using the command : # net groupmap add ntgroup="group-name" unixgroup="group-name" type=d

The 3 workstations share files that are given group-wise ACL permissions.

When I join the workstations to the PDC server through authconfig command, the workstation is shown as joined.

When I use the command "getent -g" , it does not show the PDC group. It shows the groups of the local workstation only.

The ACL permissions are not working. I am using the command : # setfacl -m g:DOMAIN\groups:rwx /foldername

I get the error message : setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3

I seem to be missing something, because, on completing the setup, this worked for 4 hours and then stopped. The log message, at error time, started showing this message :

The workstations (B, C & D) have same OS, samba and configurations. The workstations B & D are working fine, whereas the C is giving the error.

Any ideas to resolve the issue will be helpful and I will be grateful.
