similar to: password sync does not work

I made a little progress. It is partly a file permissions error. If I change the permission of /usr/local/samba/private to 660. Since the unix Administrator (ie. Windows Domain Administrator) is in the sysadmin group, this gives it read-write permissions to this file. Under windows, as the Domain Administrator, I can now change account properties such as "password never expires."

I am trying to enable unix password sync. PDC is solaris 3.026a on Solaris 9. my smb.conf file includes: [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN server string = myserver passdb backend = tdbsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat=*New\sPassword:\s%n\nRe-enter\snew\sPassword:\s%n\npasswd:\s password\ssuccessfully\schanged*\n unix password sync

Greetings, Has anyone had any success with samba-3.25[a-c] under solaris10 amd64 using 'unix password sync=yes' option? % smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Password changed for user sambatest debugging reveals the following condition: [2007/09/13

Can I get some assistance with this? things work just fine without the synchronization? Any suggestions? Does anyone have it working with solaris10?

Hello list. I once had a samba server acting as a PDC, a mapping between my NT 'Domain admins' and Unix 'admins' groups, and everything worked perfectly. Now I got a new shiny samba server acting as a print server only, member of an AD domain, and I can't have the members of 'Domain admins' group manage printing drivers on the server, whereas the Administrator

Hi, since nobody answered my previous post I'm hoping to get an answer for this one, I have a working samba PDC with LDAP backend, recently i tried to add a W2k Workstation to the domain using root account and it returned with a wrong password, but i am able to login using the same account to the server, I've tried changing the password to join the doain and it worked again, but I'd

Hi, when trying to get a Netapp filer (multi protocol) to join a domain controlled by samba 3.0.0beta3 with ldapsam backend, I ran into a "small" problem - the filer won't join the domain. So we set up another server with samba 3.0.0beta3 using tdbsam(?) as the passwd backend - and lo, the filer is able to join the domain. Both "joins" are NT4 joins - as the filer

I now have one PDC (Samba 3.026a on Solaris 10) and several member servers (including Samba 3.026a on Solaris 9 and 10, and Samba 3.024 on Fedora core 6.) Each machine uses NIS for unix accounts. If I start smbd and nmbd on a member server, I can connect to a share from a windows 2000 or XP client. If I look at the permissions on a folder, if shows "Unix Account/someuser" or

hi i'm working with samba3.0rc2 no probs but i have i question concerning id-mapping i authenticate all users with ldap, works but i always need a samba user in ldap, with sid sid S-1-5-21-1042031166-387543594-2118856591-501 if i don't have it, i get an error during logon with winxp, that the domain controller could not be found or i have a non-existent account, which is not correct

Hi All, I'm posting this just in case someone can tell what's going on with samba that would prevent this from working. Cisco has the ability to see a smb share from their webvpn product with CIFS. We can browse windows shares but not samba shares. The following log outputs are from my ASA firewall. I know these are cisco logs but I'm hoping a lightbulb will come on for someone. The

There is a problem with a user mapping a network drive. Sometimes he can map it, sometimes he can't. SAMBA: 3.0-alpha18 UNIX: HP-UX 11.0 rsc is a valid account on the machine he's trying to connect to (entry in /etc/passwd, decent permissions on home directory and all parent directories, etc.) The strange thing is sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't

I am trying to set up samba server that trusts the local NT domain, so users who are logged intot the domain to not need to re-authenticate, nor have unix accounts set up. Config snipit: [global] workgroup = DC2DEV3 server string = DC2DEV3 netbios name = DC2DEV3 interfaces = en0 bind interfaces only = Yes smb passwd file =

Hi. There are Samba 3.0.20b server and 'local master = yes'. I can browse network with WInXP or Win98. All is Ok. But I am getting an error "The server is not configured for transactions" when I try to browse network with Windows NT 4.0. I can connect to any PC on network by `\\PCNAME' command. I can use 'Find PC' on NT. But can't browse network! Could somebody

Hi, My OpenIndiana (opensolaris) machine is joined to Active Directory. I'm using samba 3.6.12 from OpenCSW. wbinfo -u is working fine, getent was not working in the beginning, but after some fiddling with libraries it was working ( I had to create the following two symbolic links, not sure if they both are correct) /lib/libnss_winbind.so -> /opt/csw/lib/libnss_winbind.so.1

I recently updated a Samba server from Fedora Core 4 to CentOs 4.5. The old server had samba version 3.0.11 installed while the newer has samba version 3.0.33 installed. The following file is a simplified version of my smb.conf file: [global] debug level = 5 security = domain workgroup = CSI-INTRANET auth methods = guest, sam, winbind server string = Software Engineering Workgroup

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

Hello, I have domain NAVIDOM. There is also a fileserver that has joined the domain (both file server and DC are samba 4.6.0). If I try to connect as NAVIDOM\Administrator, I cannot access the file server (from Linux and Windows): [root at dc var]# smbclient -U Administrator -L fileserv Enter NAVIDOM\Administrator's password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED I can do it as

I'm building a replacement samba 3.5.6 domain controller to replace an old 3.0 one. Some other things are changing too. Our user accounts are now in LDAP rather than flat files (although the machine trust accounts will remain in a flat file), but that should be hidden from samba as it's going to be done through NSS. The smbpasswd file is a TDB file and will remain so. Our users

Sorry for the log log file dump, but while looking at some problems mapping drives, I've run across some stuff. Below is a chunk of my log when I successfully map a network drive from a WinXP client to a Samba 3.0-alpha18 server. The thing that bothers me is that it looks like my DOMAIN\USERNAME combination isn't being honored and I'm getting in based on a check to the locally

dear all, i'm running samba (3.0.10-1.4E.2, original update packet from RHEL 4) on RHEL 4 U2 and as member of a active-directory (smb.conf: security = DOMAIN). it works fine for some days but after that the number of running smbd's increases until the machine reaches some process-limits.... strace of one of the hanging smbd's shows: (atpcw6zc)/var/log/samba# strace -f -p 2341
