...are ready to move to Samba 3 though, and this is where the trouble begins. We do not have a domain set up. We have a few samba boxes and they just use the ldap servers to get their passwords from. (no roaming desktops or anything like that.) I did a bit of reading up and see that I need to run the convertSambaAccount script against an ldif export. So here's what I did ldapsearch -LL -x -h localhost -D "uid=root,ou=People,dc=newberg,dc=k12,dc=or,dc=us" -b "ou=People,dc=newberg,dc=k12,dc=or,dc=us" -w > old.ldif I got an ldif no problem. I don't really know what a SID is or what...

...Samba 2.x authenticating UNIX and Samba users to OpenLDAP 2.0.x fro quite some time. Now I need to upgrade OpenLDAP to 2.2.x and Samba to 3.0.x. Although I've been using OpenLDAP with the old samba schema to authenticate Samba users, I did not have a PDC set up. Now when I try to use the convertSambaAccount script to move to the new Samba schema it says "You must provide a domain sid". The Samba documentation told me how to get the sid from my PDC but I don't have a PDC? Any suggestions? Thanks, Jason ===========

Hi, and thanks in advance for your support (sorry my english) Is there any documentation for migrating Samba 2.2 with LDAP and PDC suport to Samba3 with PDC and LDAPSAM? I try to explain the situation: Only one server running Mandrake 9.2 + Samba 2.2.8a with ldap support (from precompiled contrib); and I wish to migrate to Samba3+LDAPSAM. My real problem is that I must use ldap because I also use

Hello, This is the 3rd time I'm sending the message. I've just upgraded from samba3-alpha23 to samba3.0.0 release. I'm running samba with an LDAP backend and I used the convertSambaAccount conversion script, and now the latest 3.0.0 ldap schema. The problem I have is that no Windows user can authenticate against their home directory, or any other machine. Authentication against the login screen works, but not to any shares. I don't understand how this happens all of the sudden,...

...ver? I can get Samba 3.0.3 and Openldap to work with a new install however when I attempt to import my old LDAP database I have to change the user's password and rejoin the workstations to the domain. Do I have to do this or should it be pretty seamless? I converted my ldif file by running ./convertsambaaccount --sid S. --input old.ldif --output new.ldif and imported into my LDAP database however I can't login unless I change the user's password. I have around 1000 users and 1000+ workstations so changing every password isn't an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from old samba to new one, I replaced the samba.schema for open-ldap, changed the smb.conf file to: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap//localhost added ldap amin dn and suffix options but it still aint working with the old ldap records? Do I have to dump the old records and update them with some changes to the ldap with new schema or is samba3 ldap backward compatible?

Hello, I'm lloking for a way to convert my company's existing samba2.2 ldap backed service to samba 3.0. What's particulary making me curious is the sambaSID. As I've read it is the unique identifier of a PDC in the windows world. So, how does samba3 generate this? Is it supposed to be changed by the admin or is it determined by samba on the first startup? Any pointer to a doc

I'm working on upgrading a Samba server from Version 2.2.8a to Version 3.0.4. One of the things I've noticed is that the samba.schema has changed. I'll admit that I haven't done an exhaustive search yet, but in looking over the documentation I haven't seen any mention of anything that needs to be done to migrate an existing directory to the new schema. Are there any tools

Dear Folks, With Samba 3.0.0 RC1, openldap-2.1.22, with samba as PDC and as much as possible in LDAP, do I need to write an add user script and an add machine script? Or does samba handle this itself? Sorry, I'm rather confused about how to go about setting this all up. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE nicku(at)vtc.edu.hk Dept. of Information & Communications
