question on pdbedit - when using it for a migration - existing data is stored in tdbsam. pbdedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam It wants to take existing machine accounts and put them into an ou=Computers. I'd rather it put them in ou=People. Samba version is 3.09 Thanks....... Jon Johnston Creative Business Solutions IBM, Microsoft, Novell/Suse, Sophos Consultants http://www.cbsol.com

Running Samba 2.2.8a as a PDC, which will service about 40 people.(grow to about 60-70 by end of the year) They will also be accessing shares on the server from a program. Server is: Xeon 2.8ghz 2gigs of RAM 3 320 SCSI 36 gig drives: setup in RAID 5 with 70 gigs of room Running on RH 7.3 Swap is 2048 (Was highest I could set it for 7.3) Anyone wanna take a gander and tell me what to expect?

Experienced a server crash on a site that's using Samba 3.01 for a PDC, using tdb database. I have all of the information to recover Samba properly, including unix accounts, etc. However, can someone point me to a resource regarding recovery of linux user accounts and passwords? Thanks....

Samba PDC system drive crashed. running 3.01. rebuilt system drive - kept the hostname the same, restored contents of /etc/samba, plus /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/password PDC isn't recognizing machines for SOME machines. Users appear fine. I know that I should have gotten the domain sid previously by doing "getlocalsid" and then restored it by doing "smbpasswd -W

Samba 2.2.7-3.7.2 on Redhat 7.3 Have a samba server setup that has been running for over a year now..... fairly simple configuration - it is functioning as a stand=alone server with smbpasswd backend. Everything has been working properly until recently - now randomly some directories do not display their contents. There are files in the directory, I've checked the ownership/rights on the

migrating a group of workstations to a Samba PDC-based domain. Machines join to domain fine, but when I try to copy the existing local profiles to the roaming profiles, I get a "Failed to set security on destination profile" - Access is denied" I have added the domain user to the local machine as an administrator. When attempting to do the copy, I am logged into the samba

Have a site where the network users are connecting to most shares through group usage. Unfortunately, access to Samba is sporadic. Sometimes they connect okay, sometimes they can't connect at all. Looking at their system config, I notice that the SID's for the groups look..... odd. The users group ends in 3005.... but each user's PrimaryGroupSID is a group with a SID that ends in

I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to

Hello! Was hoping to get some suggestion and ideas for a samba server I will be implementing here in the next couple of weeks. I have gone through the websites documentation, but I was hoping some of the veterans of samba could maybe lend some ideas, advice and recommendations. I will try to be as detailed as possible. The samba server would server roughly 50-60 people. We have 3, maybe 4

Hello. I'm hoping that you will provide some help with a Samba problem that I'm experiencing. We have an Alphaserver that has been functioning as the Samba-server in a Windows/NT Domain for about 5 years now. It was set up by an engineer here at Raytheon Missile Systems Company and he left the company about 2 years ago. I've inherited the administration of it. Last week

Hello, I am having dreadful problems with Win2k workstations running Photoshop not being unable to save files to a new file server which we just installed for the direct purpose of serving graphics files. When trying to Save As a new file or Save an edited (existing) file we're getting a response that the disk is full, which is far from true because we have 1.6 TB free. This happens both

One topic I can't find in either Samba 3 by Example or the Offical Samba 3 Howto & Reference Guide is that of migrating from a Samba3 server to a newer Samba 3 server (meaning newer hardware in this case). We are currently using the smbpasswd backend. I plan to move to tdbsam but that hasn't been done yet. All of the servers in question are running either whitebox 3 or redhat 9

Working with Samba 3.0 on rh9. Set up samba to use tdbsam (small network, maybe 30-40 users tops) and be a PDC for the internal network. Will be joining machines to this domain. My smb.conf file has been configured to use tdbsam as the backend, and with an add machine script, add user script, etc. However, using the command: pdbedit -a jdoe results in "could not create account to
