All Samba domain. OS FreeBSD 5.2.1 ldap set up with working replication ldap slave ldap master ldap slave 192.168.4.0-------192.168.1.0--------192.168.3.0 BDC-1 PDC BDC-2 PDC and BDC-2 are fine but on BDC-1 I get the following errors: - id(1) only return values for system password database users - machine logs indicates a problem with getpwnam(): [2004/03/24 22:59:43, 1, pid=68224, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(821) User Guest in passdb, but getpwnam() fails! In this situation of course nothing works properly at the BDC-1 site. I really tried to make configuration identical on both BDC's but apparently I did something wrong and I'm tearing my hair trying to figure it out. Anybody?
Running samba 2.2.7a-8.9.0 on RedHat 9.0 system. It is our fileserver. Going to upgrade to samba 3 and I wanted to make sure nothing is going to break. Our smb.conf for samba 2.2.7a is very straightforward. No PDC or anything like that. domain master = no. password server is our NT4 domain controller. So I'm thinking it should be an easy take. I've checked the smb.conf man pages for samba 3 and nothing in our smb.conf is depricated or going to cause a problem, so I think. So here is the plan: Save the smb.conf. rpm -e the samba 2 stuff. Then rpm -i the samba-3.0.2a-1 rh9.i386.rpm from samba.org. Put the smb.conf back in place, and then we are happy. Right? Maybe samba 3.0.2a needs some other rpms, which is no problem I can install them at that point. Am I missing anything, or is this a simple thing? Thanks! Alex
