similar to: smb-ldap or not to smb-ldap

Hi all, I'm trying to configure Samba as a PDC. I'm running Debian Woody, hence Samba version 3.0.0final-1. We have no Windows servers anywhere on the network (yay!). I have done an smbpasswd for root, and add machine script is setup (see attached smb.conf). From the XP Pro workstation, when I fill in the domain name, log in as root, and click ok, I eventually get: "The following

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail

Hi all, Samba 3.0.14, Debian Sarge. I've asked on IRC but didn't get a response. I am having problems dragging files to my Samba share in Windows XP, over an IPSEC VPN. The file in question is a simple small text file. I have no problem directly creating and editing a file on the share. Here's the log: [2005/09/18 21:51:05, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_with_timeout(321)

I can now login to my domain from an XP Pro client, as a normal user. Only problem is, I get this: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem

We're into our new server build. We have built Samba / LDAP servers before, but never a PDC. I'm not sure that this question is PDC-specific though. What is the difference between smbldap-useradd, and adding a user to the LDAP database normally e.g. with cpu useradd? Are smbldap-tools needed for new installs, or only where an existing Samba database is being migrated to LDAP? What is

Hi all, Don't know if this is related to my other problem. In my list of groups, several are mentioned more than once (Domain Users, Domain Guests, Domain Admins). Is this normal? A System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3247875428-2940378000-2436062379-513) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1 Domain Users

This follows on from the previous questions. I noticed that smbldap-tools With lines like ldap user suffix = ou=Users in smb.conf, should we change Users to People if that's how our LDAP database was set up, or do Users and People generally mean different things in LDAP?

I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

So I have two classes for openvz setup. The first is openvz::setup and it sets up the box for OpenVZ.. then another class (in same .pp file) called openvz::master sets up the config for the main system (as opposed to a VE). The error I see is that the openvz::master class is executed (and fails) becuase it doesn''t seem to load up the setup class? debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfig

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

I have a node that has some bad stored configs (namely the wrong ssh host keys) that I''m trying to clear out. Looking around it seems I''m supposed to do: puppet node clean foo.example.com However, that keeps bailing out because it''s trying to open a SQLite3 db where stored configs are normally kept, but my stored configs are kept in puppetdb (http://pastie.org/7814483

The preliminary round voting is completed in the "2005 Readers' Choice Awards" at Linux Journal. CentOS was nominated in the "distribution:" category along with 18 other Linux distros ... and we finished in the top 3 (along with Ubuntu and FedoraCore). Thanks to every one who voted for CentOS. I really did not expect that we would be on the final ballot, though I am

Good afternoon from Singapore, I came across this Linux Journal article titled "DIY: Build a Custom Minimal Linux Distribution from Source", written by Petros Koutoupis. Link: <https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/diy-build-custom-minimal-linux-distribution-source> https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/diy-build-custom-minimal-linux-distribution-source Are the instructions in this

At my physics lab we have 30 servers with 1TB disk packs. I am in need of monitoring for disk failures. I have been reading about SMART and it seems it can help. However, I am not sure what to look for if a drive is about to fail. Any thoughts about this? Is anyone using this method to predetermine disk failures? TIA

For anybody who didn't know there is an article on asterisk in February's Linux Journal. AJ

I'm a little confused on one section here... Where are your passwords being stored? kerberos? If so, how does samba look there? What is the significance of the {SASL}USER at REALM in LDAP? Is there another password store that you are syncing with krb? Sorry for my ignorance here but after hours and hours of trying different things, I'm unable to use my kerberos backend with samba.

I am trying to streamline the current distribution specific setup and creation of VE''s within OpenVZ with puppet. My first attempt has gone horribly wrong as you will see below. Here''s the script I wrote to replace the redhat specific setup that OpenVZ used: [jleggett@lxp6d15m3 scripts]$ cat redhat-add_ip.sh #!/bin/bash # # Debug - take out later set -x
