Hello All, I am trying to setup Samba PDC with LDAP. I installed samba-2.2.8a and openldap-2.1.19.

I was able to add username in ldap using smbldap-useradd.pl, but i find problem in adding machine name. When i try to add machine name i got following error ./smbldap-useradd.pl -w test$

I got a problem. Samba is in place and working on my linux machine but when I try and use Windows to map a drive it asks for a password and doesn't know the one I enter.

Howdy everyone: Here's an interesting one: I have joined a machine to the domain, and I log on. Then, I get a message to the effect that the user's roaming profile couldn't be [loaded or found?], and a local profile will be used instead (and actually this also fails, but is not the point of my question... I don't think). Background ========== I took my previous PDC, and

I just installed Centos (version 4.4) and wondering how I can change things so I don't have to login. I am aware of the security implications for doing this but I would prefer this if I can do it. I believe it has something to do with autologin and if so how is this configured ?? --- Ted Gervais, Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada

Wondering about being able to see MASQ activities with IPTABLES. With IPCHAINS I used -M -L to make this possible. Nothing like that with iptables, at least as far as I can see. Any thoughts on that fellows.. --- Ted Gervais Coldbrook Nova Scotia Canada B4R1A7

Hi! I am trying to migrate to a new server, with a shiny-new installation of RedHat 9. I have downloaded the 3.0alpha23 rpm intended for RedHat 8.0... I am also using the stock RedHat 9 version of OpenLDAP. By itself, LDAP is working fine: this is how I log onto my Linux boxes. I am including one sample user (me) below, which I extracted using "ldapsearch -x". Great - this is

I wonder if someone can tell me what these ''unknown'' remarks mean in my status file. They are only in the last portion of the file and are listed below. If they mean nothing, I will rest easy.

I finally got Samba-3.0beta1 as PDC with LDAP backend. However, I need to specify: passdb backend = ldapsam smbpasswd:smbpasswd guest and have the root account's exists in smbpasswd file. I still could not get a uid=root entry in LDAP to allow client workstation to join the domain. When in samba-2.2.8a I could use a fake rid=506 with uidNumber=0 entry in LDAP (as a SambaAccount) and it

But I could not login as a user. Windows XP returns domain is not accessible (die domain ist nicht verf?gbar). But when I login to the

Hi there: We have recently inherited a circa 1996 SGI Indy Colorbus Cyclone running on Irix. Our intention is to use this unit to drive our Canon CLC900 Scanner Copier and make it accessible to our Windows Network. At the moment, our Windows Network does not "see" the Cyclone & vice versa. I have read that installing some kind of Windows Samba client onto our windows

could someone please give me the lowdown on samba and passwords? i keep trying to connect to any share name on either of my unix boxes, either from each other or from a win95 machine... every time i can't get anything due to passwords... does samba have it's own password file? from trial-and-error it seems that it doesn't read out your /etc/passwd file for user's home dirs...
