I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting an LDAP directory set up for the idmap backend for winbind. I've been working on it for quite a while, and haven't found any very helpful websites or anything. I've found quite a bit on how to set up a PDC using LDAP, which would be nice, but I already have the PDC... I just need LDAP to host UID's and GID's. The things I'd like

Hi all, I am about to install a Samba server at a local school, and i need some advice and/or experience from others who have worked on a installation of that type/size. My plan is to roll-out a Samba server (of course), with LDAP back-end, and a number of printer queue's via CUPS. There will be aprox. 1000 user accounts, mostly students. The school has asked for a solution that would

I saw a message on this mailing list about compiling the idmap_ad.c, back in October of last year... and I'm having the same problem... When I try to compile it, the message I get is: gcc -I/usr/include/linux -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/ubiqx -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/popt -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/smbwrapper -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source

I'm having a problem when I try to mount a CIFS share on a Samba 3.0.5 server from a Samba 3.0.2 workstation. When I type: mount -t smbfs //ip-address/share /mnt/point -o username=username,domain=DOMAIN It mounts, and I get no errors whatsoever. I can do almost anything I want (except for symbolic links and hard links, which is why I want CIFS). When I type the exact same thing, but change

I've been trying to get an idmap backend working in an ldap database (I know, not really a database). I think I got most it worked out, but I'm having a problem getting samba to bind to the ldap server. My smb.conf says (just the important stuff, with my domain taken out because I'm paranoid): idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldapserver.subdomain.domain.com:389 ldap suffix =

I'm trying to set up Winbind to store all the UID's in a local LDAP database, but am having some trouble. I think I got most of it set up, but when I run "getent passwd", I get several hundred errors like this: [2004/07/13 11:59:03, 3] sam/idmap_ldap.c:ldap_get_id_from_sid(588) ldap_get_id_from_sid: Failure looking up idmap entry (No such object) [2004/07/13 11:59:03, 1]

I've got an interesting problem that I'll try to detail here as best I can. My Setup: We've got a W2K domain with 2 W2K DC's and a Samba member server that hosts the shares, including home directories. We've got both Linux and Windows clients (2000 & XP). For reference, the samba server will be named "SAMBA" and the Windows PDC will be named "PDC".

I have 2 labs I have to maintain. The first is a Windows-based lab, and the second is a Linux-based lab. I'm trying to combine the user accounts to make everything easier... here's what I have so far: The Linux test machine has Samba 3 installed on Fedora Core 1, with winbind and pam_mount. Pam_mount automatically maps the home directory, and everything works perfectly when I log in

Hi, We currently have a postfix/dovecot setup using nss_ldap with PAM for authentication. Everything is working fine, but there are excessive "error" messages in /var/log/messages that I'd like to prevent from happening. Since auth_userdb defaults to passwd and that our users are not in the passwd file, we get the following message everytime a user logs in: Jul 7 13:34:37

I''m trying to get TPROXY / Squid running and I have a few questions... I found this page: http://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall_Squid_Usage.html#TPROXY However, it doesn''t explain what I''m seeing in the configuration. For the zone file, do I keep my loc and net configurations and just add the following to the file? - lo - - or do I remove the loc and net zones and

Hi, I'm currently setting up an Apache SSL reverse proxy for Exchange 2003 Outlook Web Access. The setup that I have works fine on my Gentoo laptop or on a Trustix server, however, when I try to set it up on an RHEL based distro, with the exact same virtual host settings, I get some weird error with the authentication mechanism. I have tried with both CentOS 4.2, based off the server CD

Thanks everyone for helping me get the home directories working over SMB, especially Ben Ford for his workaround for the Xauth and GDM. Now I've got a problem that, most likely, nobody's ever noticed before... or is something specific to me. I've got a Linux client, and a Samba server, and a Windows 2000 server, both set up EXACTLY the same. I've got a test user and the home

I had a test machine up and running Samba, joining an AD domain, and set up with winbind... when I ran "getent passwd" it would list all the local users, and all the domain users. I could also log in as a domain user without any problem. So, I made an image of the hard drive, and copied it to 7 other machines. Now, those 7 are having a strange problem. I changed the names and IP's of

I have a Samba 3 server, and a client with Samba 3. The server has a share for home directories, and the client is trying to mount it, but after it's mounted, I still can't create any symbolic links. Also, the GUI login (Red Hat Enterprise default) isn't working, but I think that's just a symptom of the symbolic and hard links not working. Any idea why, when I enable unix

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

I have a feeling I may have lost focus on the issue in some of my previous messages... so here's my dilemma. I have several Windows (2000 and XP) clients, and several Linux (Red Hat Enterprise 3, 2.4.21 kernel) clients. I've got a couple servers, one is currently Windows 2000 Server, and one is Linux (same as above, with the snapshot Samba running). I want to be able to have users log
