Hi All, I have Fedora Core 4 installed, everything is updated and running a treat.
I have a Windows Server 2003 domain, and want to add the FC4 machine to it.

I have set up krb5.conf, smb.conf and nsswitch.conf files
I have started winbind and smb
I have checked kinit and it comes back with no errors

When i exicute net ads join user@DOMAIN.COM it then asks for domain password, i supply it then i get;

[root@linuxsrv ~]# net ads join -UPfagg@DOMIN.COM
Pfagg@DOMAIN.COM's password:
Using short domain name -- WAESAMB
Joined 'LINUXSRV' to realm 'DOMAIN.COM'
*** glibc detected *** net: free(): invalid pointer: 0x008117f0 ***

Any thoughts, many thanks.

looks like you've found a bug (it crashes trying to free a pointer, which is no fault of yours). Try a different version of net.

whew, at least its not me
Thanks for your reply

I am having the same problem. Were you able to get your problem resolved?

anybody????

Still puzzled Sam.

also experiencing this, any solution in sight?

Until the kerberos, or e2fsprogs or whatever bug is fixed:

WORK-AROUND:

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

-Garth

Also, for libgcc < 4.0:

export MALLOC_CHECK=0

Waaahoo!! Just loaded all the recent updates to FC4, reconfigured everthing again, and now it works. Looks like one of the updates has corrected the problem with the scripting errors while joining the Domain. I still had some minor problems with SAMBA and AD but was resolved when I installed SAMBA 3.0.20. You can download the FC4 RPM's from samba.org. I have duplicated my success on another computer just to make sure it was not something querky.

Good Luck!
Sam

Hello people

I'm having the same issues. Could anyone explain what this "export MALLOC_CHECK_=0" does and how to apply that in detail to fix this problem?

Thanks

Also when I do wbinfo -u (lists ad users) command I do not get any users listed, but wbinfo -g (lists ad groups) shows me the active directory groups. I've also transfered a Kerberos ticket to the linux machine manually. If anyone can help in anyway please do so. hehe

I had success about a month ago. One of the FC4 updates has fixed the problem. For FC4 you need to install all the available updates (not sure which specific update fixed the library problem). Then download and upgrade your version of Sambe to the current version from samba.org. I already had the current version of Samba, so it was one of the FC4 updates that did the trick.

Good Luck!

Is NTLM working for you? When you visit a share in KDE or Gnome, are you required to authenticate? I can't get it to automatically authenticate in KDE or Gnome for network shares, althought the other aspects are functioning now that I've updated.

I have not try it. I use my FC4 as a fileserver to AD member Windows desktops.

Ok thanks for that saylestock i'll try to get the updates. I've tried logging in to Samba through a Windows client with a active directory user which didnt work which makes sense since there is an authentication issues with kerberos.
