Hi ! I've got a server with Samba 3.5.3 with LDAP backend running on it. When I want to add a workstation I've got a strange result First there is the workstation LDAP account : dn: cn=TOTO$,ou=machines,o=ADM-SC,dc=univ-rouen,dc=fr objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount cn: TOTO$ sn: TOTO$ uid: TOTO$ uidNumber: 5037 gidNumber: 5000 loginShell: /bin/false homeDirectory: /dev/null gecos: Machine TOTO sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1597492338-1443626506-322857960-11074 When I do the 'smbpasswd -am TOTO' I've got no error but my workstation account becomes a user account !!! When I do 'pdbedit -v TOTO$' I've got this result : smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=ADM-SC))] smbldap_open_connection: connection opened init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user: TOTO$ init_group_from_ldap: Entry found for group: 5000 init_group_from_ldap: Entry found for group: 5000 init_group_from_ldap: Entry found for group: 5000 Unix username: TOTO$ NT username: TOTO$ Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-1597492338-1443626506-322857960-11074 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-1597492338-1443626506-322857960-515 Full Name: TOTO$ Home Directory: \\cpd-adm-sc\toto_ HomeDir Drive: Z: Logon Script: toto_.bat Profile Path: \\cpd-adm-sc\profile\toto_ Domain: ADM-SC Account desc: Workstations: Munged dial: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: never Kickoff time: never Password last set: Thu, 05 May 2011 16:12:37 CEST Password can change: Thu, 05 May 2011 16:12:37 CEST Password must change: never Last bad password : 0 Bad password count : 0 Logon hours : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -- Bruno MACADRE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ing?nieur Syst?mes et R?seau | Systems and Network Engineer D?partement Informatique | Department of computer science Responsable R?seau et T?l?phonie | Telecom and Network Manager Universit? de Rouen | University of Rouen ------------------------------------------------------------------- Coordonn?es / Contact : Universit? de Rouen Facult? des Sciences et Techniques - Madrillet Avenue de l'Universit? - BP12 76801 St Etienne du Rouvray CEDEX FRANCE T?l : +33 (0)2-32-95-51-86 Fax : +33 (0)2-32-95-51-87 -------------------------------------------------------------------
