[Bug 1388091] Re: winbindd does not provide geocs to libnss_winbind in ad configuration with winbind nss info = template (default)

[msaxl]

in samba 4.3.3 in ubuntu xenial the problem is resolved.

The upstream bug is/was https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10440
As you can see there the proper fix is quite big, maybe not the best idea to backport to 4.1,
but at least in the next lts version of ubuntu it should be fixed

Title:
  winbindd does not provide geocs to libnss_winbind in ad configuration
  with winbind nss info = template (default)

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  affected with Ubuntu version 14.04.1 and 14.10.

  If the user loggs in, he does not see his own full name (geocs).

  it is also reporduceable by getent passwd $USER. usually there should
  be a field containing the users full name.

  if winbindd enumerates all users or winbind rpc only = yes is set, the full name is displayed.
  In the first case only until the internal cache expires.

  The reason is that nss info template simply does not provide this
  information and resets this field, even if the values is known
  somewhere else in the code path.
