I just upgraded my samba PDc from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 and now winbind doesn't connect to the ldap server. Did any configuration parameters change? testparm doesn't show any errors and if I use the ldapsearch tool with the same bind dn as samba uses I get a good response from the ldap server. I used the rpms from the samba site for Fedora Core 2. When I try to restart winbind (service winbind

I am having a problem, more like an annoyance, when I use "User Manager for Domains". When I change a password ,add a user or any other major operation I get an "Access Denied" error message. I have to hit cancel to get out of the Users properties. Whatever change I made though is then applied. I am using an LDAP backend with the smbldap-tools scripts. Samba 3.0.5 /

Hi everyone, I have had a problem for a while now, and haven't been able to figure it out on my own, so I'm asking for help. When a user tries to change their password they receive the aforementioned error. I am running Samba 3.0.10 on CentOS 4.4 (Red Hat Enterprise) with an LDAP backend. I have the smbldap-tools scripts installed and have them setup in my smb.conf (see below). What I

Hi, I use the program Unison to synchronize two servers and have been having a problem recently with errors saying mkdir failed.

I have samba 2.2.7 running on a RedHat Linux 7.3 system that is being used as a PDC and a file server for a group of Windows 2k and Windows XP Pro computers. I am having a problem with the roaming profiles working on both the 2k and XP machines. The profiles seem to load fine when you log on, but when you log off it will only copy the ntuser.dat file and then a few more files (seems to go to

Hi, I am trying to setup a Samba PDC with Windows XP Pro Clients. I currently run a Samba 2.2 PDC and am trying to change over to a Samba 3.0.5 PDC with an LDAP backend. I can join the domain fine, but from there things are getting rough. The Samba server is running on a Fedora Core 2 box with all the current updates and all my clients are XP Pro. As soon as I logon (with any account), I get

Sorry this is so long, but I think it is all relevant. I also have an output from pdbedit with log level 10 if needed. First, the latest problem I have noticed. When I create a new directory on the server, samba creates the files properly and gives them the proper permissions on the server, but when I look at the file security properties (Right click,Properties, Security Tab) I don't get the

I'm trying to setup a samba PDC/BDC with disconnected auth. and am stuck at step one because I can't get smbldap-tools to work right. First when I do a smbldap-useradd.pl -a test, it works fine. ldapsearch shows the entry properly. Then I try smbldap-usershow.pl or smbldap-userdel.pl or any other one for that matter and they all fail with a "user test does not exist"! Also if I
