When using a set primary group script, %u shoud get replaced by the username and %g by the groupname. However there are non-consistent encoding-problems: When using for example german versions of windows and making a net rpc vampire to clone a pdc the groups are correctly created with the add group script: if I enter echo '%g%' >> file as add group script I get Domänen-Admins Domänen-Benutzer Domänen-Gäste BUT when the primary groups are set, the %g in the set primary group script call is replaced in another way (dumped with the same method): Dom\C3\A4nen-Benutzer Dom\C3\A4nen-G\C3\A4ste This odd behaviour sadly brakes the smbldap-tools, produces a lot of error messages and a broken user-db. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup samba pdc with smbldap-tools 2. net rpc vampire 3. error occurs (different %g-replacements) Actual Results: the script-calls are not consistent and therefor don't work Expected Results: the encoding for %g in the "set primary group script" call should be the same as for the "add group script" call on a debian-mailinglist I found a similar bugreport where the reporter told it disappeared with samba 3.0.14. probably the debian-devs patched samba somehow? gauss2 tmp # emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.18-hardened i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-hardened i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1400MHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 06:00:08 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31-r5 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.15-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/php/apache1-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.utf8" LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt exiscan exiscan-acl fortran gdbm gpm gs iconv isdnlog jpeg jpeg2k kerberos ldap libg++ mailwrapper midi mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python quotas readline reflection samba sasl session snmp spf spl ssl tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vhosts wmf x86 xml xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY gauss2 tmp # emerge -pv samba smbldap-tools These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

The wrong display of the umlauts in the upper example (Domänen-Gäste) was because my terminal was set to latin1 encoding while the server runs with utf8 - but this has nothing to do with the problem - setting the terminal to utf8 shows correctly "Domänen-Gäste". I managed to workaround the problem by changing the scripts from smbldap-tools that are called by samba according to the attachment I'll immediatly post (my change is in both cases the line after the comment # Dirty Samba Workaround). This problem should be fixed in samba because it is not understandable why different script-calls give different outputs. The "encoding" given by samba seems completely nonstandard and it took me two days to spot the problem an find a workaround.
Created attachment 117674 [details] smbldap-groupmod with workaround
Created attachment 117676 [details] smbldap-usermod with workaround
Could you please check whether this is fixed now with smbldap-tools-0.9.4? Thanks.
