similar to: copying machine trust account password from windows to samba

when an nt 4.0 workstation or backup domain controller is joined to a domain, the trust account password is set to a well-known initial value. if you are concerned about internal network security, this is not really an acceptable risk: any captured network traffic can be decoded simply from knowing the name of the workstation, which is contained in the network traffic itself. the initial value

Hello all at the samba list. The other day there was a migration of server; the old one had Samba 2.2 (.6) working normally. Every user logged in the domain without problems, their SIDs and the domain SID were right, everything was ideal. But a server update was needed, and a new server was installed, also with Samba 2.2 (.12). The difference in version is not important this time as other

Hi, The idea is to avoid to have machines accounts in /etc/passwd and store all on the ldap. I must have a machine account in /etc/passwd ( normal way ) to create the account with pdbedit -a -m machine_account. In fact once it is created , I can delete the account in the localmachine and machine can connect without any problems. ( the account stay only in the ldap ). I 've done it.

Dug deeper (i.e. into the source code)... no answer yet. The samba join process is failing when fetching the domain's machine password from the secrets.tdb database, which presumably it has just built as part of the JOIN.. Specifically, it is looking for an entry: "SECRETS/$MACHINE.ACC/OFFICE" in secrets.tdb. When that fails, samba looks in secrets.ldb in "cn=Primary

Hi all, I am facing a problem regarding machine trust account password backup for samba-3 acting as NT4 PDC. If I understand it well, password for machine trust account are always modified the first time a windows host joins the domain. I use smbpasswd backend (samba3.0.25rc1), and the password in modified in the db file smbpasswd. Is there a way to now this password in a clear text format ?

Can you give me any hints on how to find such information in the log files? My log level is 5, and I can find some password change messages in the logs, but I don't know how to check if they are looking

Hi, I'm trying to configure a Domain trust between Samba 3.5.6 (TEST domain) and Windows 2008 r2 (WTEST Domain). Samba is the trusting side and Windows is the trusted side. I created the "incoming trust" in the W2K8 called TEST. Then I executed the "net rpc trustdom establish WTEST" and got: Enter TEST$'s password: Could not connect to server W2K8SERVER Could not

I had a machine account created in the NT domain and successfully joined the domain by running "net join MEMBER -S <PDC>". The timestamp of the secrets.tdb changed. I got the "Joined domain MYDOMAIN" response. I think there may have been some conversion to active directory but still running NT domains. When I attempt to run from Solaris "./smbclient

I have a problem with machine trust accounts breaking in a purely Samba controlled domain. I have one master Samba server acting as a PDC, and three slave servers in different networks. The UNIX user account information is updated by means of NIS, and smbpasswd gets rsync'ed to the slave servers whenever there is a change in the file. All this works without problems at all times. When I

Hello, all! Let's say, hypothetically, that one was trying to migrate a NT4 domain to Samba without the knowledge of the NT admin of a domain you trusted. :) Basically, what I need is the password for my trust account, but it's in some obfuscated hash under the G$$xxxxx secret. Does anybody know how this is stored, or am I down to sniffing network traffic? Thanks, David Boynton

Hello everyone, I am having a problem adding a machine account with pdbedit. My setup is the latest samba (3.0.21b) compiled from source on Solaris 10, SUN's latest JES' Directory Server. I am in a beginning stage of setting up this environment, so I may not have done something right. I was following the Samba PDC LDAP howto by Ignacio Coupeau

Hi, I'm trying to create a machine trust account using samba 3.0.23d. I tried on-the-fly creation but this failed and I found this in the log: [2007/01/07 23:03:04, 2, pid=28573, effective(1000, 1000), real(1000, 0)] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_lookup_domain(2797) Returning domain sid for domain EST -> S-1-5-21-1152323856-1746261438-3327382661 [2007/01/07 23:03:04, 2, pid=28573,

I have looked for an answer to this in many locations, but I am still confused about the use of machine trust accounts. It was my understanding, backed by a samba book, that in order for someone in a domain to access a resource, they must have a valid account on the domain AND be using a machine that has a trust account setup on the samba PDC. However, my experience and another samba book say

I think that machine trust account did not access any resources, is there any way to avoid using posix account for machine trust? or at least using only one shared posix id? --beast

Follow these steps. First try this, Goto computer properties, Goto Change the computer/domainname. Klik more options. Check if the primary dns is set. Normaly its not needed to change things here. Remove the computer from the domain. With RSAT tools, check if everything is removed of the PC from the domain. Cleanup the DNS before you re-join the pc. (remove the A and PTR) Cleanup the

Hai, Thanks for the reply. For the fix, i believe, there is work in progress for that as far i've seen. But i think Rowland knows this better. An other other options is rejoin again, but often only works if the "computer" password was expired and not updated. Then an simple rejoin works also. If this happens, ( i had this about 3 times ). 1) try a simple rejoin from windows

Hi there, I have a Samba PDC and BDC migrated from NT4 using ldapsam with an interdomain trust to a 2k3 domain. The trust is established both ways and was made from the pdc. Using samba 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 The trust is working. I can pull users from the trusted domain and apply them to acls on my samba DMS. Winbind adds the idmap entry correctly. What is not working, is authentication from
