Hi, (sorry for my english I'm a telecomunications student from spain) I'm building a PDC with samba from a ldapbackend which was created without samba attributes...it's a very big database...does someone know how can I add the samba attributes to all users..? and what attributes I have to add so that the pdc have the next characteristics: - backend openldap(replica-server,it's not the master, i think i'...

...e and use a >local passdb for the local users - communication between Samba member >servers and Samba3 DCs is not over LDAP. So i don't understand how i should configure properly the domain member. I don't need winbind, as all my users are already SID to uidnumber mapped in the ldapbackend. I've read all the docs, and still can't figure it out. Doing as Andrew suggests breaks the ACL, and i get an empty net groupmap list. Any ideas ?

hello, still got my problem and noone anywhere seem to know something about it here is my problem I'm using samba 3.0.14a (debian) with ldapbackend with 250 computer (all workinh well) in october I could join machine to domain without problem but today it doesn't work after some experiment I manage to see that even pdbedit was not working well for example pdbedit -a -m -u zigo give me this error cn=zigo$,ou=Systems,dc=domain,dc=int wit...

..., i can't complaint, but with 'paid' version maybe i can complain to the author :-). Most of the contents are still the old documentation with few 'little' updation for samba3. Imo, its better if it can be rewrite from scratch focusing on samba3 only. Ie, it should focusing on ldapbackend instead on other backend. The definitive guide books (imo) should contains following chapter : 1. Installation and other compile options. 2. Setup and configuration with real world working config and screenshot if possible on server and client side. 3. Performance tuning and optimization (server a...

I have this message coming every 20 seconds in winbind log. [2008/08/16 11:23:18, 0] libsmb/clientgen.c:cli_receive_smb(165) Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding This is a samba/winbind setup with ldapbackend (editposix feature). I have seen error message in a post of last year but no final explanation of the issue: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2007-August/134178.html version is samba-3.2.1 Any ideas if this error would keep me from setup samba in productional environment? Cheers,Gunnar

Well I thank everybody that helped me get swat working. I am very thankful. Now, though, it seems I have more problems. When I try to join my samba domain, my XP box says "a domain controller for the domain edith could not be contacted." Okay, well, after reading up on things in this list, it seems that I need to create a machine account. I didn't have to on my NT box. When I
