similar to: LDAP PDC, net rpc vampire

This patch allows net rpc vampire to create accounts in the same way that smbpasswd does, i.e. it will attempt to use the appropriate account creation function for the backend in use. From reading the comments on the top of the local_password_change function, either I shouldn't be going this route or local_password_change is due for some sort of change in status. The only major caveat I've

Hello, I am trying to use Samba (2.2.7a)+ LDAP (2.0.25) as PDC on FreeBSD 4.7. But it turned out that LDAP is not easy-going!!! Without LDAP, things seems fine. I can join the Win2000 machine accounts and the shares are all right. However, when configurating samba with ldap support, then smbpasswd couldn't work anymore. I can only use # smbpasswd -w secretpassword to add the

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

This is puzzling me (and hampering some work, slightly): NT4SP6 + full updates server, with some printers attached. "rpcclient -U admin%pass enumdrivers 2" server gives me a list of stuff like this: [Windows 4.0] Printer Driver Info 2: Version: [0] Driver Name: [HP LaserJet 5Si PCL 5e] Architecture: [Windows 4.0] Driver Path:

Hi Folks, as promised, here's what I did to get net rpc vampire working. There's a question at the bottom that someone might be able to answer for me. If the detail below is sane, I'll tidy it up some and submit it as a proper HOWTO. If not, please tell me where I'm being insane :) ====================================================================== Using 'net rpc

Hello, Sorry to have posted in the wrong thread, resending the email. We have a samba domain and now some of the users from WINDOWS 2000 Pro are unable to change their password, below is the error : They are able to login without any problems. pdb_free_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT was NULL [2004/06/07 13:52:29, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(817) check_oem_password: incorrect password length

Sorry for all the newbie questions... I could have sworn I saw something about a utility that exports the SAM database from NT into Linux.. seems like it is the lego syndrome, saw it while doing WINBIND searches, can't find it elsewise...anyway...could someone point me in the right direction? I want to export my users from NT to linux with passwords....if that is impossible, I also have all

Hello! Jerry you are right about script and permissions!

Dear Samba gurus, I am still using Samba 2.2.8a; I have not seen an announcement that this issue would be fixed in 3.0.2; all that follows refers to 2.2.8a.

Windows prompts for an account and password that is privileged to join the domain. A Samba administrative

Hello, I am a new user of SAMBA. I have a problem in installing SAMBA on our new ALPHA server is that I would like to access the SWAT after install the SAMBA. I try to login SWAT from IE5 with the user "root" but just only return with the message "401Authorization Required". Is there any mistake during the installation or anything wrong for the configuration ? Please

Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password

I've tried to determine this empirically, but have run foul of config issues that won't be resolved in the immediate future. Basically, I know that Samba + ACL + an acl-aware filesystem will allow me to assign unix-style permissions to arbitrary groups of people for a given file. However, Windows has additional permissions: delete, take ownership, and, um, I think possibly one or two more.

Others have posted already about this, but so far nobody in the know has responded: I am getting an invalid error message when changing user passwords from the client machine (for example, by using ctl-alt-del and selecting "change password") from at least one Windows XP pro workstation (my own -- I have yet to escelate this further, in case I figure out that it's something simple.)

Is there a way to configure Samba so that all password authentication is done through the Windows domain controllers? As I understand it, the variable "encrypt passwords" must be set to yes if "security" is set to "domain". This causes Samba to reference the smbpasswd file, so if the W2K user's password on the domain controller is not the same as that in the

Someone (who is on my email address list) said I sent an email with an attachment saying something about "Here is a game, I hope you should like it." If you receive any emails from me with an attachment be sure not to open it. It's a virus of some sort.
