Samba – idmap Fatal Error: UID range full!!
I am using samba file server.
One day, a user told me that he failed to open a shared folder.
Every time he open the shared folder authentication will be prompt.
He still failed to open the shared folder even though he key in the correct user name and password.
After diagnosis I found this error in my /var/log/samba/winbindd.log
more /var/log/samba/winbindd.log
show me this:
idmap Fatal Error: UID range full!! (max: 20000)
Then I googling and finally find the solution. Google always is my GURU. Thanks Google.
Below are the step to fix this problem.
Stop your samba and winbind services
service winbind stop
service smb stop
Delete secrets.tdb and smbpasswd
rm /etc/samba/secrets.tdb
rm /etc/samba/smbpasswd
rm /var/cache/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb
Ensure “winbind trusted domains only = no” if not just modified it in smb.conf
testparm -v | grep winbind
or
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
Rejoin the domain
net rpc join -S SERVERNAME -U ADMINISTRATOR%ADMINPASSWORD
Restart winbind service
service winbind start
Ensure can get the user list from domain
wbinfo -u
Fetch list of user accounts and group accounts
getent passwd
getent group
Test the login from another workstation.
Solved!
Job Done!
