Hi ! I'm running a samba domain controler under rhel 5. It's version 3.0.33-3.7.el5. I've also installed a ldap server to store users and groups and so on. When I try a pdbedit -v david, I get the following : Unix username: david NT username: david Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-215069222-2822928016-2390355089-1016 Finding user

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

I have been having some problems since I updated from Samba 3.0.23 to 3.0.25b. I have installed the latest version of smbldap-tools but I am still not able to make certain changes to a user's account. I have created a new user named JROLFE. After I set up a new user, I will set it so they are required to change their password when they first login. I usually do this through LDAP Account

Hi. I have an existing departmental network based on AFS, Kerberos 5 and LDAP. All unixes work nicely, logging in remotely. So, Samba acting as a PDC with OpenLDAP. Now I'd like to interoperate with all windows workstations. I chose the LDAP way, since it's the most flexible and secure way... or at least, it seems to me more flexible than using a single /etc/passwd file on a

The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

Hello everyone, I am operating a migration of samba from 3.0.24 (mysql passdb backend) to 3.5.6 (openldap passdb), samba working as a domain controller (PDC) and file share.

To get used to samba, I have managed to make
