winbind issue on RHEL 5.9 and RHEL 6.4

Latest response

Hi all,

I just want to let you know about a possible issue with winbind setups in RHEL 5.9 and the upcoming RHEL 6.4.

 

Many setups use winbind to allow Active Directory logins on there RHEL servers. New samba packages in RHEL 5 and 6 add new features and provide bugfixes, but  a config file change may break existing configs when you update to the new samba packages.
 
Fortunately, there's a very easy fix for this issue, available in a knowledgebase solution here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/291063
 
Of course, if you do run into any problems, don't hesitate to share them with the community here, or open a support case.
