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

[Robie Basak]

Thanks for the report - this looks reasonably like bug if someone else
can confirm this behaviour.

To progress this bug we need a developer with some interest in winbind
with AD working well in samba.

Title:
  pam_winbind offline logon does not work in 12.04

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The pam_winbind offline login does not work in 12.04 LTS with latest updates.
  My configuration.
  Client joined to domain with uidNumber set in AD.
  smb.conf with winbind offline logon = yes
  /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf with cached_login = yes
  PAM configuration is the "default" pam-auth-update configuration with winbind.

  If I am online everything works as expected. I can login with my AD account tstusr2.
  But if my notebook has no connection to the domain controller the offline login does not work anymore.
  The problem seems to be somehwere in PAM as PAM identifies the user as "unkown". See attachment auth.log.

  If I manually add my user to /etc/passwd the offline login works.
  tstusr2:*:50001:70005::/home:/bin/bash

  It can't be solution to add domain users to /etc/passwd. pam_winbind
  has to deal with it.
