I'm trying to get my linux boxes to authenticate to AD using winbind. I
need to get my uid's from AD so I'm using idmap_ad.

I got to the point where 'getent passwd' shows me the list of unix users
from AD with all correct details, however when I do 'getent passwd
<username>' for any username from the list returned by 'getent passwd' I
get an empty reply (getent returns error code 2) and I can't login using
those users.

As a matter of fact on one of my testmachines it works sometimes.
'getent passwd nico' will return my user details and I can logon
properly but when the system has been quiet for some time it seems to
forget about the account again.

Anybody seen this before? Any suggestions on how to debug this?

I'm trying this on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04.

Thanks in advance,

Nico
