Solution Verified - Updated -

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
