Dear all, I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a lot of users and machines are missing ! Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly well. The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a new server... TECHNICAL DETAILS : * Samba 3.3.10 * Number of machine...

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without --script option, it takes by defau...

...ssword database and wonder how I can change the "Workstations" value in order to control the allowed workstations for a particular user. Last year I had a configuration with ldap using the smbldap tools where it was possible to set this value. But how can I set it without LDAP just using pdbedit? In the official Samba 3.2.x HOWTO and Reference Guide in Chapter 11 Section "The pdbedit Tool" (http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/passdb.html#pdbe ditthing) there is an example where "Workstations" is set to "melbelle" - but no explanation of...

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added ro...

Hi, all -- I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their samba passwords easily and quickly.? It looks something like: ?? useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname ?? echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u accountname If I type the lines from the keyboard, it works fine.? However, when I try to execute the script, the pdbedit on the second line reports that there's no unix accountname to apply to samba.? I assume that this is because the useradd process hasn't finished when the pdbe...

I have recompiled pdbedit 3.0.2 with -g flag to be able to list sources from gdb when debugging pdbedit and discovered some more info but don't know how to interpret it: (gdb) frame 1 #1 0x0806c899 in init_sam_from_buffer (sampass=0x81b8c28, buf=0x81b8d78 "", buflen=208) at passdb/passdb.c:1462 1462...

...on the OS . So having logon script = logon%a.cmd in the smb.conf generally works thanks to variable substitution. ? But for user accounts that have been created with the USRMGR.EXE tools, the Logon Script attributes have not been set and it seems not possible to modify it with variables using "pdbedit --script" .(one precision : I use? passdb backend = tdbsam ). ? Your script could help , but as you said logon script name will be hardcoded for each users which I want to avoid. Isn't it possible to manually change some entries in the passdb.tdb file ? ?? ?

Hi ! This is my firs post here. I've got a problem with password history policy -C 3 which doesn't work !! I set policy pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 777600 (90days) pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 691200 (80days) "user must logon to change password" -C 2 "password history" -C 3 On clients (XP PRO) some of people doesn't see warrning with "p...

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000. But when I do: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -m -u somemachinename -U 3000 It does not work as you would think. The account is created but with the RID of the Unix UID*2+1000 not, a RID of 3000...

Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 username + these without -C 0 -> Incompatible or insufficient options on command line!...

I have am hitting a wall with pdbedit, as shown below. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. I am encountering the inability to change any users (profile) SID on Samba 3.x for Linux and BSD, which causes the accounts to no longer recognize their local Samba 2 profiles once they join Samba 3 domain. If I add a new user and pdb...

Who wins the fight for the roaming profile path, "logon path" in smb.conf or "profile path" set by pdbedit? How do you force the "profile path" in pdbedit to get its value from "logon path" in smb.conf? Is it possible to disable roaming profiles by user with pdbedit and leave "logon path" set in smb.conf? Thanks.

I have been working to get pdbedit to expire passwords. I have seen several bugs related to pdbedit (bugzilla bug 4630 for example) on 3.0.25 so I upgraded to 3.0.25a, the latest Samba version as of this writing. What I am trying to do is set a particular user's password to expire on a certain date. If that can't be don...

I recently am migrating my PDC from NT4 to Samba 3.025. Apparently due to a mismatch between the capitalization of the Windows account and the Unix account (Administrator vs administrator) I managed to lock the account before catching the discrepenacy. # pdbedit -v administrator Unix username: Administrator NT username: Administrator Account Flags: [ULX Bad password count : 5 I reset the bad password count" field with the following command pdbedit -z -u administrator However, the account is still locked and I can no...

Greetings, I am running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9 installed from rpm on CentOS 4.4. I have it configured as a PDC. It is using the /passdb backend = tdbsam/ backend. I am using /pdbedit/ to make some configuration changes to user passwords. I would like to expire a users password, so that they are required to change it the next time they log in. From all that I have read in on-line resources (including the Samba How To), it says to run the following command (this should effect...
