Hi all Have an installation that is having problems using samba 2.2.5 on AIX 5.1 When I try to use the pdbedit command I get the following What I ultimately want to do is have samba expire and force the users to change their passwords periodically. I realize that it looks like I am missing a lib here but which one and where do I get it. The company I work for is strict on

Hello All, I?ve a customer with a problem. They need to apply some policy's in your Samba LDAP (SMBLDAPTOOLS) passwords, like this: - Passwords Expiration - Minimum lenght - History - Quality of Password - Block after 3 incorrect logon attempts Is it possible to do it with the Default Samba schema ? Is there another way to implement ? Thanks for any Help. Best Regards. -- Alexandre

I am confused on the various account creation methods in samba. I am running Fedora Core 8 and Samba 3.0.26a-6. 1.) I can create a user with pdbedit -a I can create a user with smbpasswd -a I can list the users with the pdbedit -L command Where is the file with the users that the above commands create and pdbedit -L lists? 2.) In SWAT under "server password management" I created a use

Dear Folks, Now trying to get Samba 3.0.0 RC1 up and running only with LDAP, as PDC. I am using openldap 2.1.22-5 from rawhide on RH9. pbedit was able to migrate the user accounts to the existing posixAcounts in LDAP (nice!) but not the machine accounts, which had no pre-existing entries beyond the top-level entry ou=Devices. Since the sambaSamAccount is auxiliary, it needs a structural objectClass to work with. What structural objectC...

Greetings. I've run into a trouble when trying to add a new Win7 machine on a domain. The domain is controlled by a server running Samba + LDAP (samba compiled with ldap support), on a Debian 5 OS at the local network. I've added the machine name to the LDAP three through phpldapadmin using the option "Samba3 Machine" on the related submenu and via terminal on samba. Then I

Using simple authentication I have been able to tie FDS to Samba 3.x.24. Knowing that the unix passwd and smb passwd are different, dare I ask how difficult it would be to have them sync? Most of my users are using netatalk w/ posix user info and MD5 password. I would like to swing this over to samba without the worries of two passwords per user. I have seen blips on this but not directly related

...midgard:~# pdbedit -Lv lab16$ Unix username: lab16$ NT username: Account Flags: [U ] ... Looks like my workstation trusted account is now a new user in the system. I never had experienced that, I thought that smbpasswd -e or -d keys would only add or remove the D flag. With pbedit works fine, but I need to check if there are other flags that I should maintain (and I would create a possible race condition in my script): root@midgard:~# smbpasswd -x lab16$ Deleted user lab16$. root@midgard:~# smbpasswd -a -m lab16$ Added user lab16$. root@midgard:~# pdbedit -Lv lab16$ Unix u...

...tes to the "may" field on the sambaSamAccount objectclass, but I cannot get the attribute to increment on failed login attempts on my Windows client. I have tried to lock the account by changing the attributes sambaBadPasswordCount=5 and sambaBadPasswordTime=2147483647, but when I run the pbedit command the SAMBA administrator account changes the values back to "0" and the user is allowed in. In addition, if I set the sambaBadPasswordCount=5 and sambaBadPasswordTime=2147483647 and I login successfully on the windows client; the "Last bad password" and "Bad passwor...

Hi all, i have a setup where by there is a PDC thats authenticating users through ldap. i have several other BDCs' that are doing the replication of the main server. am trying to setup the users to be authenticated by the BDC but am not able to. Any suggestions will be quite helpful Regards kevin

Hi all. Need your help... I can join the domain normally. After restarting indicates that duplicate name exists on the network. When I try to log in, indicates that the domain is unavailable. I made two machines and get the message in both. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and configured using this tutorial:

Hi, Suddenly when I add a new workstation to out Samba3 (LDAP backend) domain, I have to give the root username and password. When I set-up the samba3 domain initially, I could use domain\admin user and their password but that has started to give me "unknown user or bad password". This last error is from a Windows7 machine I am currently trying to add. I have merged the registry fix

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results.

Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

Hi everybody, My name is Tani Alessandro, I have a problem when I try to change the password of user "root" (the Domain Administrator). For all the others users I don't have any problem. I have update samba from the version 3.0.11 to the version 3.0.14a. I use a Red Hat 9. When I try to change the root password I recive this messagge: > Unable to modify TDB passwd ! Error:

I am running Samba ver 3.0.33 on Solaris 10 (sparc.) Initially I had the server configured as a domain controller with the "passdb backend = tdbsam" option. The underlying unix accounts were stored in LDAP (Sun Directory Server.) Those accounts are also used for non-Samba services. Since I have domain trusts with NT domains, I am using winbind and idmapping. The idmap data was

Hi list. We're running a Debian Etch Server with Samba 3.0.24 as primary domain controller for a XP dominated network. For various reasons, we're migrating our server to a new machine running on Centos 5.4 (and Samba 3.0.33). Additionally, I decided to get rid of our messy LDAP setup, as it is quite a pain to use and IMHO overkill for our small software shop (~15 machines / users),

Dear Samba Team, There are three issues happening in my Samba 3.6.6 Issue 1: After upgrade, when upload file which is more 100mb to Samba, it shows error "File name too long cannot copy" in windows xp.

Hi, I could use some confirmation on my approach to configuring my BDC. I want the user to be able to access shares on the BDC and have their domain credentials stamped on any files they create. I do not want to add domain users to the /etc/passwd file. At the moment users can authenticate onto the domain but once they try and access a share on the BDC, these XP users get a dialogue box asking

I have the following setup: PDC: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC1: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC2: Samba 3.4.3 on Solaris 10 Samba 3.0.37 is the bundled version of Samba. Samba 3.4.3 is compiled from source. BDC2 is a recent addition to the network. All machine use LDAP as the backend for everything. They use winbind to handle a domain trust with another domain, but otherwise
