[Bug 1165461] Re: pam_winbind offline logon does not work in 12.04

[Jan]

Hi everyone,

the bug only occurs if you use the idmap ad backend. With backend tdb
everything works fine.

I tracked this down to the file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb. The file
lies in a tmpfs and is cleared on every reboot.  Winbind uses it to
store the sid2uid and sid2gid mapping information in it.

An easy fix is to tell samba to store the file in an other directory.
This can be done with "lock directory = /var/cache/samba/" in smb.conf.
