I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif shows that the "Admins" group can be opened but http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-users.gif shows that the "Users" group can...

After trying to get all the policy stuff nailed down I figured I'd save others the trouble, so I wrote up a primer and posted it on my site at http://www.ehsco.com/reading/20051031.html Hoepfully that will save others some trouble -- Eric A.

...in the meantime. I'll have to manually enumerate the UPS names associated with a host target (is there a way to probe for them with upsc now?), but otherwise it ought to be pretty straightforward scripting.

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

Hi there, I just saw samba added the "net rpc service" for Win32 service management since 3.0.20, and it's fantastic. I used to use samba-tng to do this job, but now I can use samba! However, I also found it has limited usage. I cannot pass parameters when I start a service, and I cannot create a new service, too. Is there any plan for samba to extend this feature? -- Best

...ike, floppies are usually addressed as 0x00 and first HD is usually addressed as 0x80, is there a standard for PXE? It'd be great to have a reliable "boot from PXE" option and that seems like the way to go... Thanks -- Eric A.

Hi list. I've decided to try and tackle this one piece at a time. Does anyone know why I would get the following error: [root@primary ~]# net groupmap list [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsamgrent(2458) ldapsam_setsamgrent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_enum_group_mapping(2523) ldapsam_enum_group_mapping:

...r now but its slow and doesn't work good XP attributes. I've also used XFS (a couple of years ago) and liked it but had some troubles with cross-platform Unix and the extended ACLs.

..., with the ACL stuff working as expected). Going the other direction seems somewhat non-obvious however. Somehow, I will need to include the winbind groups as members of the LDAP-based groups. Does this work? Any pointers? Thanks -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/

We've got a Windows 2003 server which won't join our Samba domain, it just sits their forever after I give the root password to join. It doesn't give an \ error message or "Welcome to domainxyz" message. It also won't join a workgroup, which is strange. Has anyone else seen this problem? No problems with XPSP2 clients. Not got 2003 SP1 on yet, might try that next.

Hello, I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9, and I am trying to get Samba to authenticate using LDAP. I am using the YaST system tool to configure the LDAP server, LDAP client, and SAMBA. The issue I am having is that after I configure the Samba server to use the LDAP backend it prompts me for a password creation for the root user. This root user will be added to the LDAP
