...ldifs. What is the next step? The options I have read is pdbedit -i tdbsam to -e ldapsam. But if TDB is wiped how will it populate? The other option is that export the /passwd and /group and convert them to ldif using the "migration tools" .i.e /smbldap-migrate . I think it is called the Idealix tools. Please help. Thank you, Rob

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

Thanks! If you're running samba-2.2.x compiled with LDAP support, you probably want to read this article: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba...

.... The 'passwd' command correctly updates the shadowLastChange-field, but enabling the 'unix password sync = yes' leads to the same problems reported by mikec a month and a half ago. We're running CentOS 4.3 with the latest updates as well as smbldap-tools from february 2005 by Idealix. Looking through the source of the latest versions of these two, I can't find any mention of the shadowLastChange field, which leads me to think that this still is not touched in any way by either software in their latest version (3.0.23 and 0.9.2). Googling I only found some references to lda...

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

Hi, I have installed Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris 8 server and have a question about samba passwords. I know you can assign an NT server to authenticate passwords, and you can also use samba to create a smbpasswd list. My question, is can you use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file so that we don't have to manage another list? Thanks in advance!

Hello List, i try to build up a samba/ldap pdc using samba 3.0.1 and ldapsmb-1.0. It seems that ldapsmb-1.0 did not work with samba 3.0 in non compat mode. Searching for a newer version was frustrating. The only thing i found were dead links to ldapsmb-1.2. If i look inside all this samba mailing lists, it seems that erverybody is using ldapsmb with samba 3.0. Something is going wrong and i

...one out there can help me. I'm trying to set up a samba PDC on a Fedora Core 2 box using an LDAP backend (on another server). The base install of everything is working fine. At the unix level LDAP connectivity is configured and working properly for users and groups. I've also installed idealix's smbldap-tools and used their script to configure the ldap directory for SAMBA. As far as I can tell that's all configured and working properly too. I can add users and groups with smbldap-useradd and groupadd tools and they show up in the proper places when I browse the LDAP directory...

Hi guys, I've installed openldap-2.1.25 and Samba-3.0.2 and configured everything with no TLS on a Slackware-9.1 Linux box. To manage the LDAP backed I've used smbldap-tools-0.8.4. After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be

Hi All, I know this must have been discussed around here a million times, but I really didn't find this info anywhere else and I'm on a deadline here. I already have an FC1 server with a working LDAP directory in production. The same server runs a Samba PDC, but not with LDAP functionality yet. All I need to know right now is if I have to include some standard user and group

Hi all, I have followed the instructions at http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/passdb.html in an attempt to set up a Samba v3.0.2 (supplied by Redhat as part of RHEL v3.0) PDC.
