Hi all, I'm trying to configure Samba as a PDC. I'm running Debian Woody, hence Samba version 3.0.0final-1. We have no Windows servers anywhere on the network (yay!). I have done an smbpasswd for root, and add machine script is setup (see attached smb.conf). From the XP Pro workstation, when I fill in the domain name, log in as root, and click ok, I eventually get: "The following

Hi all, We are deploying a Linux server and desktops for a customer. We will have the users and groups in LDAP on the server, and files shared via NFS. However, one never knows if Windows desktops will be needed in the future. Is it a good idea to add users with smb-ldap even if samba is not initially used, as adding the samba attributes to an existing LDAP database is painful, and the

Hi all, Samba 3.0.14, Debian Sarge. I've asked on IRC but didn't get a response. I am having problems dragging files to my Samba share in Windows XP, over an IPSEC VPN. The file in question is a simple small text file. I have no problem directly creating and editing a file on the share. Here's the log: [2005/09/18 21:51:05, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_with_timeout(321)

I can now login to my domain from an XP Pro client, as a normal user. Only problem is, I get this: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem

Hi all, Don't know if this is related to my other problem. In my list of groups, several are mentioned more than once (Domain Users, Domain Guests, Domain Admins). Is this normal? A System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3247875428-2940378000-2436062379-513) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1 Domain Users

We're into our new server build. We have built Samba / LDAP servers before, but never a PDC. I'm not sure that this question is PDC-specific though. What is the difference between smbldap-useradd, and adding a user to the LDAP database normally e.g. with cpu useradd? Are smbldap-tools needed for new installs, or only where an existing Samba database is being migrated to LDAP? What is

This follows on from the previous questions. I noticed that smbldap-tools With lines like ldap user suffix = ou=Users in smb.conf, should we change Users to People if that's how our LDAP database was set up, or do Users and People generally mean different things in LDAP?

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail

Hi all, This is happening on a Samba 3.0.1 PDC-controlled domain, so I'm not sure if the issue is Samba-related. If not, perhaps somebody can point me in the right direction. One of my users has a printer connected to his Win2k PC (name UPSTAIRS-SMALL). Printing to it from another (WinXP) workstation fails miserably. I tried to go back to first principles and go Start->Run
