Hopefully this information will help all of you who are trying to preform a similar setup. -=Carl=- this can also be found at: http://www.carlweiss.com/Samba3-redhat9-openldap.html Installing Samba 3 With OpenLDAP on Redhat 9 Commands are listed in

I recently upgraded my samba pdc from version 3.0.9 to version 3.0.21b to try and fix a browse issue with Windows 2003 Server and linux samba servers. The browse issue was fixed, but now I am having problems adding machines to the network. I run slackware 10.0 linux with an openldap backend which has worked fine until now. I also upgraded the samba tools from idealx.org to the latest

Hi all, I am setting up my second server with Samba 3.0.21c with LDAP as described in Samba3-ByExample. The server OS is Slackware Linux 10.2, without PAM. All seemed to work perfect until I decided to try folder redirection. I followed the instructions given in the "happy users" chapter, but now new users cant log in. When trying to log in with a new user (umgrtest16) from a WinXP SP2

Yes, I had a similar problem when I upgraded from 3.0.9 -> 3.0.21b. After upgrading I could not add machines. It would find the PDC and then prompt me for a user/password, I would enter it and I got user not found error message. If I typed the password incorrect then I would get Username/Password incorrect error message. My logs showed that I was authenticating OK. So only thing I could think

Hi all, I had been running a Samba pdc using the standard tdbsam backend on CentOS 4.5 supporting 20+ WinXPsp2 workstations and a Win2k3 Terminal Server. This set up was running fine for arroung 18 months maybe more. The above system was built on ageing hardware that used to be a Win 2k server that died from OS corruption. Due to the expanding client needs there was good reason to replace

Hi, I've reported this before but I guess I'll have to do it again, since it's not fixed yet or I'm understanding something wrong here. The problem is that smbldap-useradd -w 'machinename' will add only posixAccount entrys into ldap but it should add both posixAccount and sambaSAMAccount entrys. So if one doesn't add correct machine account entrys manually to ldap

Hi all, I'm currently working on getting the whole samba with ldap working. I'm having an error trying to join a computer to the domain, when windows goes to change to the new domain I get the dialogue box to enter the user/pass to join I do that and it returns: the following error occurred.... the username could not be found. taking a look at the smbd.log file it shows: [2005/06/16

Hi, I know this question is FAQ, I set up samba PDF before and still run well, and now I need to create another PDC for another branch office. I have search the MAILLIST and google, but I still can't figure out what happened and how to fix it. I can join into samba PDC but while I sign on Windows Xp and Vista, it will show such like as following "Your user profile was not loaded

Hi All, I am going through a setup of a test samba3 box with rh9 with my self rolled copy of 3.0.10. I have removed the old rpm version of samba. I compiled 3.0.10 with all defaults except for the install prefix which I set to /usr/local/samba3. I followed the steps given in Chap 6 - making users happy in the online html version. I changed a few things. Instead of MASSIVE as the PDC name I

Hi. When I tried to setup my LDAP I used the smbldap-tools from idealx. I discovered some errors which made the tools unusable for me. Here's a fix for the bugs I discovered: a) I decided to use a suffix in the LDAP which contains spaces, ie. I used something like "o=My Org,c=DE". Because the suffix wasn't quoted in the various calls in the tools, this didn't work. b) It

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

OK I'm confused. Can machines be in ou=Computers,dc=somewhere,dc=net ? Every thing works fine if I configure so that machine accounts are created under ou=Users. If configured for machines to be in ou=Computers, I can't add a new machine. Error returned is "The user name could not be found." This is from the w2k machine itself. The release notes for 3.0.11 seem to say adding

Hi all, I am newbie on this and I couldn't figure out what I have configured wrong. I have setup three Linux Debian Sarge servers with openldap2 + samba3. PDC and master ldap on one machine and BDC slave ldap on the other two. I followed instructions on http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html to set them up. I am using utilities smbldap-passwd.pl from idealx for

Hi all! I work as a computer technician for a small school and have recently upgraded our network to use samba servers. Our main computers are a PDC, a BDC, a file server and a backup server, all using Red Hat Fedora Core 3 as a base. The clients on our network consist of machines with Windows XP and a few with Windows NT. Everything seems to work just fine except for some minor but annoying

I'm having problems using smbldap-tools 0.8.2 from idealix, I'm using the following entry in my smb.conf file: add machine script = smbldap-useradd.pl -w -g 553 %u Then, while I try to add a workstation to my domain, the script adds a posixAccount, and then I get this error: ------ [2004/01/14 18:15:49, 1] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_modify_entry(1173) ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to

Hi All, I am current working on Samba + LDAP PDC in RHEL-4. I some problem when doing the smbldap-useradd -w command. When I have a WinXP box try to join the PDC, smbldap-useradd -w "%u" will add a workstation account to the LDAP tree with all POSIX attribute but without all the SambaSAMAccount attribute. So, the WinXP box can find it's workstation account and wouldn't

Hi, In smbldap-useradd.pl is a pice of code, which find the first unused uid starting from $UID_START (for example 1000). if (!defined($userUidNumber)) { # find first unused uid starting from $UID_START while (defined(getpwuid($UID_START))) { $UID_START++; } I've over 500 UID's in use (maximum UID is 1547). It works well, until you delete an user. After deleting an user,

Hi List. I've got SAMBA 3.0.7 with LDAP passwd backend (OpenLDAP 2.2.15) on Solaris 9 box. When joining the domain I have permanent error "The user name could not be found".
