similar to: Can join domain, can't login -- LDAP PDC

I have the exact same problem as this guy: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-September/125699.html He describes it much better and in much more detail than I could, so I'll let him speak for me. Unfortunately, I don't have the same solution. nss_ldap is configured properly, and things like 'getent passwd' and 'id machine-acct$' show the machine accounts as

I have a small domain with a Samba PDB and two Windows clients. My goal is to have all accounts held centrally on the Linux box, but the administrator login doesn't work as an administrator. That is, I can login just fine as 'administrator' (or as any of the other accounts in the Samba password db), but I don't get administrative privileges in Windows. In smb.conf, I have:

This is an immensely frustrating problem. I try to logon to my Samba 3.0.11 PDC running on SuSE, and the Samba logs report that it all went swimmingly: [2005/06/02 16:34:45, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(305) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [stpierre] -> [stpierre] -> [stpierre] succeeded So w00t, right. But no! Windows rejects my login with a "bad

I'm trying to get Samba on a Mac OS X box running as a PDC with an LDAP backend. I've read through all of the major walkthroughs I can find, and we've actually already got it running very nicely as a file server; people are currently authenticating against a different PDC and then mapping drives from the Samba box in question. However, I'd like it to be the PDC eventually, but

I recently have upgraded from Samba 2.2.8 to 3.0.7. I am using LDAP as a backend, but I'm running into a problem. Namely, since my user entries have no sambaSID attribute, Samba decides they don't exist. (At least, that's how it looks in the logs, included below.) I've looked through the conversion script that's included with Samba 3, but it just uses the rid attribute,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a nasty problem with Samba 2.2.8a that I asked about here a while back, and I need someone with a working LDAP-Samba PDC -- preferably 2.2.8a, ideally running on Mac OS X, but I'll take what I can get -- to post the results of an ldapsearch for one of their machine trust accounts. All I'd need is the results of a command along these lines: ldapsearch -LLL

I had a problem similar to my current one a week or so ago, and I was encouraged to upgrade from Samba 2.2.9 to 3.0.7, which I did. Now that I've completed that nightmare, the problem I initially set out to fix is still there, just different. Namely: I am trying to set up Samba 3.0.7 on a SuSE 9.1 box as an LDAP PDC whose only job will be authentication. Our LDAP server is on a separate

Samba 3.0.21c, RHEL4. About a week ago, we restarted our Samba server because nmbd had run amok. Since that restart, our Apple clients have periodically disconnected -- by most reports, they disconnect every 15-45 minutes. It doesn't appear to be synchronized, i.e., every Mac on campus doesn't disconnect at once, but only occasionally. They get a message similar to: "A server you

I've got a Windows XP box that's unable to join my Samba (3.0.20) domain. We've got about 400 other computers, mostly WinXP, that have joined the domain quite successfully. I'm not sure when the most recent one joined, though, but I'm reasonably sure nothing has changed since then. The Samba log gives the following when I try to the computer to the domain: [2006/02/28

I'm trying to get an LDAP PDC running, and when I try to join a Windows computer to the domain, I get the following error: "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" That's from Win2K. WinXP gives more information: ------------------------------------------- The domain name NWU_FLUFFY might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify

A few computers -- two or three -- are very spotty about letting people log on. It seems -- and this could be off-base -- that they'll let anyone log on once, but will require a reboot before you can log on again. Sometimes, logging on works fine, though. There really appears to be little rhyme or reason to what happens. In the Samba logs, I'm getting: [2006/10/20 08:08:14, 0]

I've got a file server running both Samba and Netatalk ([OT] which are two programs that dearly need to be rolled into one). I've *tried* to configure it to minimize problems between the two, but I've run into a problem where users can't delete folders that contain, e.g., .AppleDouble folders in them. When I try from smbclient, I get: NT_STATUS_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY removing

When a user tries logging in and enters the wrong password a few times in a row, their account becomes disabled. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? I couldn't find anything in the smb.conf man page about it. Alternatively, could we use a preexec script to just re-enable all accounts when there's a logon attempt? Or does that script only get executed after a user is authenticated?

I am running Samba in AD mode with 3 Samba DCs. I am trying to verify that I really am seeing all incoming connections in the log files to help trouble shooting. We work with Sernet who are AWESOME people, especially Bjorn, but I was wondering if there were any other ideas. Right now we have "log level = 1 auth_audit:3 auth_json_audit:3" set in our smb.conf. Are there any other ways

I've been using Samba with OpenLDAP with great success on normal servers. Recently however, it appeared to us that for remote locations it is more economically viable to replace Samba servers with Samba running on little routers like ASUS WL-500g with openwrt firmware/software. It has a broadcom/mipsel CPU, and thanks to openwrt (http://openwrt.org), it is possible to run lots of software

Hi, It looks like smbd in Samba 2.0.4a is segfaulting after receiving a SIGTERM signal (kill -TERM <pid of smbd>): [1999/05/18 23:40:46, 1] smbd/server.c:main(621) smbd version 2.0.4a started.

Hi, I have a few problems with Winamp 2.8. (I can't use or recommend Winamp3 because of all the various problems I've had with it. It seems that Ogg streaming is broken on ports other than port 80. However, streaming in general seems not to work correctly. If I point the winamp client at an icecast or gnump3d server, it locates the file or stream fine, buffers a bit, and starts

I'm using Samba 3.0.21b on SuSE 9.3 Pro (x86) with the binary RPMs from samba.org/suse.com (3.0.21b-1.1.2-SUSE-SL9.3) on a Domain Member Server in ADS mode with winbind against W2K3 SP1 AD servers and idmap uids/gids stored in a central OpenLDAP directory. Unfortunately, winbind gives me a hard time and reproducibly dies with a PANIC on a "wbinfo -g", although I think I've

1. Does anyone know what may be happening here? When I try to map a drive from a PC, I get the following error: "The account is not authorized to log in from this station.". I can map the drive just fine from my PC. Does anyone know what may be going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2. Also, whenever I use SWAT, it takes a long time for the information to be
