CentOS 5.3 getent does not return data from the active directory (ads)
I have installed and configured kerberos and samba so that the server can be a member of an existing Active Directory (AD). Correct configuration of kerbos was verified using kinit and klist. The samba configuration was verified by using "smbclient -k -L server". winbind was verified by using "wbinfo -g". The problem seems to be nsswitch accessing winbindd to get group information via the "getent group" command. I added winbind to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file like so:
[root@nagios ~]# grep winbind /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files winbind shadow: files winbind group: files winbind
--- Try "hosts: files dns wins" "hosts: files winbind" You realy don't say if your authenticating what and where @. But I do know you did not list "the hosts:" line in nsswitch. One of those should do it. getent group_name will never work with out changing it.
