NethServer Version: NethServer release 7.3.1611 Final
Hi everyone,
I guess April is turning out not to be my month. I had Nethserver up and working just fine with the samba active directory accounts provider. I could create users, ibays, login and get my email, etc… Just waiting for dust to settle on Nextcloud 11 before setting that up and having my new server all configured and perfect.
So last night I did the update to Nextcloud 11. I could login as the “admin” user just fine, but when I tried to login as myself it wouldn’t work. So I poked around in the admin login setup section and noticed it was having LDAP connection issues, tried to manually fix things, but in the end just couldn’t get it to work. A fresh start seemed like it would be a good idea so I uninstalled Nextcloud (using the server manager) and rebooted for good measure.
Now the trouble starts… I can’t login into the file shares as myself anymore and the output of net ads info shows:
ads_connect: No logon servers
ads_connect: No logon servers
Didn’t find the ldap server!
And, now it’s working again without me changing anything! About 15 to 20 minutes have passed since I started typing this and researching on the web. What the heck? I just jumped to a shell to retry the command and now I get the expected output. File sharing and email logins are working again. Sorry to be troublesome but now I have a question. Is there some kind of built in timeout or retry interval with the nsdc virtual machine that is used for active directory?
Thanks Davide. Since my original post, I applied the latest CentOS updates, rebooted and now it appears broken for good. The server has been up for well over an hour and AD is still busted. So you are right, I must have gotten lucky after my previous reboot.
Here is the output from the command you gave:

I’m stumped at this point as to why it just stopped working. There appear to be some IP v6 errors listed, but I only use v4 on my network.
There shouldn’t be one. .2 is the address of nsdc and I have DHCP setup to use .100 through .253
The arp -d command returned no output, while the ping returns:
[root@trs80 ~]# ping $(config getprop nsdc IpAddress)
PING 192.168.67.2 (192.168.67.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.67.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.67.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
When I started nsdc again it still failed the DNS update. Apr 13 18:25:28 nsdc-trs80.kuntzilla.com samba[25]: ../source4/dsdb/dns/dns_update.c:295: Failed DNS update - NT_STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR
Just as a test (without changing anything) I did a systemctl stop nsdc and systemctl start nsdc, waited a bit and now it’s working again:

What the heck? Since it is not consistent I wonder if there is some kind of timing issue during the startup?
Ok, I will check out those web pages. I did some more checking in the logs last night and it appears that the trouble started on April 3rd with the DNS update errors. From Feb 26 through April 2 there are no errors in the log. Checking my system logs didn’t show any package updates around that time frame and I don’t remember changing any settings either.
This series of message keeps reoccurring in the log now:

Looks like every 10 to 20 minutes it is trying to update DNS and then restarts the container’s networking I guess? I’m a novice when it comes to containers and Samba. Is it failing to update the DNS that is built into Samba or the DNSMasq(?) one that comes with Nethserver? trying to figure out where to look for the issues.
Thanks for trying to help me Davide, I really appreciate it.
