I'm having trouble setting up samba as a PDC on an apple xserve, using yellowdog linux 4.0. After a lot of thrashing, I believe the problem may be smbpasswd generating the wrong NT hash. Running smbpasswd on a redhat box (intel architecture) produces the follow LDAP entry: dn: uid=testuser2,ou=Users,dc=allstate,dc=network objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount

...e samba schema installed and the likelihood of that happening is slim. I still want to provide clients with as close to a single sign on solution as possible and I can get an ldif of the accounts I need. However, the password field is SSHA and I will still need to generate sambaLMpassword and sambaNTpasswd fields (along with the rest, but that part is a wrapper script around smbldap-utils away.) There is a remote possibility of getting these hashes generated by an Identity Management Server, which would make the problem go away. The IDM solution is remote, as the admin for it is already ov...

...passwd that is already in their entry. So far the only way I can see to get their existing directory entry to work is to run pdbedit -a <userid> which prompts for the users passwd and which then populates their directory entry with all the samba attributes such as the sambasid and sambantpasswd which have unique values. My question is then: Is there another way to get their directory entry populated with these values without having to re-enter their passwd ( eg have the user retype their passwd) at the pdbedit prompt ? Also, it seems that down the road if a user changes their dire...

...n from windows logon screen), we map the home folders via "net use.." for not domain users too.          c) We use openldap and both linux/unix and windows/samba authentication against it (samba has ldap backend configured, linuxes use sssd). We use not very handy mechanism of setting sambaNTpasswd and userPassword (crypted, set from HPUX) via ldapmodify. This is not standard and acceptable solution for future. How to do it in samba AD? We have 1000+ users, all with both samba SIDs and unix user attribs and we need to migrate them from openldap to samba AD.     Next questions, eh, challen...
