  • Is that machine integrated in a Microsoft Windows domain or even itself a Microsoft domain controller? If not, it may be preferable not to integrate the system's name service with samba and remove those winbind from nsswhitch.conf. Commented Aug 19 at 8:29
  • It's a nas running Debian. I'm not sure if it's any of those things you mentioned. Could you provide more information on what you're proposing? Commented Aug 19 at 8:46
  • Is it a NAS running Debian in a Microsoft-Windows-centric corporate environment? Are users and groups there local to the NAS or managed centrally in a Microsoft Active Directory? Or in a samba based directory on the NAS itself? Commented Aug 19 at 10:49
  • It's a home system, and I created a user tony on the nas who owns the shares, which is the same username on my Windows 11 laptop that access it I'm not sure if that means it's local to the nas or in a samba based directory. Commented Aug 19 at 11:12
