Hi List, I have some issues with user manager for domains (srvtools.exe from MS) and the scripts mentioned in the subject. The examples from the samba howto collection seem to cause serious issues here. I am on debian etch and tried to create my own scripts but till now to now avail.

I'm in the process of learning Samba and evaluating it as a possible replacement for Windows NT servers in our office next year. I have set up a small test network comprised of one NT 4 (SP6a) Workstation, one Windows 2000 Pro (SP3) and one Fedora Core 3 running samba 3.0.11 as a PDC. I'm using LDAP as the passdb backend with smbldap-tools 0.8.7-1. The Windows 2000 Pro machine can join the

I have just installed a new samba PDC following http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-domaincontroller-p2 but my winXP clients don't save their profile. It is created a directory /home/samba/profiles/USER with permission 700 but no file is saved there. The computer I amb testing with was in the old samba PDC saving the profile with no problem, so I suppose is a samba problem. Any hint

Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hi folks, are there any more detailed docs about those scripts? I have some annoying issues there and I can't find anything about that in the docs. If using usrmgr.exe is it possible to tweak the "add user script" that the full name of a user is stored too, like if I add the user manually with adduser (debian) or useradd -c "Full Name" -m username on (most?) other

I've been using that command probably out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a

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.

Previously our smb.conf file included the line passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server.domain.net/ With this line in place the connection to the LDAP server fails, and peoples shares drop off every few minutes. I
