-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List!!! Please spend my some light on my problem! I'm using samba 3.0.13 in a large environement because we had problems with the normal tdb-passwd backend we reinstalled our environement with samba and we are using now the ldap backend. For our administrative tasks we are using the smbldap-tools from idealx. We are not very happy with this solution because we have some effects we do not like and we do not know why they happen: * Some machines produces a smabaSID which already exist for another machine when the try to join the domain. How are the sambaSIDs determined? * Users suddenly couldn't log on to the domain and I do not know why. Usually a password reset solves the problem: For your reference here I have a such an account which could not log in: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BBWdata:~ # smbldap-usershow 95FeYuekseldi dn: uid=95FeYuekseldi,ou=ia2005b,ou=Users,dc=bbw-informatik,dc=private objectClass: top,inetOrgPerson,posixAccount,shadowAccount,sambaSamAccount cn: Fevzi Yuekseldi (IA2005b) sn: 95FeYuekseldi uid: 95FeYuekseldi uidNumber: 1531 gidNumber: 1029 homeDirectory: /home/students/ia2005b/95FeYuekseldi loginShell: /bin/bash gecos: Fevzi Yuekseldi (IA2005b) description: Fevzi Yuekseldi (IA2005b) sambaLogonTime: 0 sambaLogoffTime: 2147483647 sambaKickoffTime: 2147483647 sambaPwdCanChange: 0 displayName: Fevzi Yuekseldi (IA2005b) sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3654624081-408594837-1692793938-4062 sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-3654624081-408594837-1692793938-3059 sambaLogonScript: netlogon.bat sambaHomeDrive: Z: sambaLMPassword: 98E3A020CE037532C98AA516A07044E4 sambaAcctFlags: [U] sambaNTPassword: 6E5795E3B2C1AAECE939D8F20B9586DE sambaPwdLastSet: 1124683686 sambaPwdMustChange: 1275883686 userPassword: {SSHA}Cpf7K+MTWKrPf8Tx7TV74wkn2hprYXNn - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We are using OpenLdap 2.2.6 (LDAP server supplied with SuSE 9.1 Professional).
