EasySpooler( 3rd party print scheduler) unable to get userids from winbind ?
Issue
- Customer using 3 rd party print scheduler for printing.
- Customer has integrated EasySpooler with active Directory (Samba/Winbind) so it prints the login name of the user in the printer banner page.
- They are able to get the user login on the banner page if the user is local to the box.
-
If the user info is coming AD the banner page is showing unknown.
-
id against the AD user displays the correct information.
-
3rd party vendor ( ROC Software) has given a script to the customer which looks up the user information. ( First need to login as that user before you run the script)
Script reported following errors :
[croedger@gl-new ~]$ ./pwuid.dat
> sizeof uid_t is 4
> getpwuid could not find uid 2000
