Dear Help, I have discovered the fact that since 3.0.23, multiple backends cannot bedefined by the passdb backend directive in smb.conf. I am currently using version 3.0.25 on AIX 5.3. Does anyone know of a way to use more than one backend? The reason I ask is because we currently have Samba set up authenticating locally (with a large number of users), and we'd like to move to LDAP

Dear Help, I currently have a Samba PDC along with multiple BDCs using an eDirectory LDAP backend. While trying to figure out how to get the bad password account lockout feature to work, I managed to somehow mess up the samba PDC. If a user attempts to authenticate against the PDC with the correct password, all is well and works as usual. However, if I use an incorrect password, the Windows

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

Dear Help, Here is my situation: We have offices located in several areas around the country, all of which can communicate with each other through VPNs we have established. I have set up a Samba domain in which the PDC is located here in our home office, and there are BDCs for the same domain in each of the remote offices. I have been able to successfully join machines here in our home office

Dear Help,I am running Samba 3.0.25 on AIX 5.3 (installed from the binaries available on samba.org including the base install -- openldap, etc.) and have set it up to authenticate to LDAP directories on two different servers (one of them set up as a samba PDC and the other as a samba BDC) in the usual way:[global]workgroup = mydomaindomain master = no...passdb backend =

Hello Help, I'm currently running Samba as a PDC (and several BDCs) on our network. The domain is currently in a testing stage and only has a small number (less than 5) machines joined to it. However, when I go to the /var/log/samba directory, there seems to be a log file created for virtually every machine on our network. When I open a few of the log files, it looks like authentication

Dear Help, I am currently running Samba as a PDC (and several BDCs). I noticed that there are sambaLogonTime and sambaLogoffTime LDAP attributes that are currently unused integer values. I would like to be able to track each user's successful logins (in terms of a timestamp -- a hostname would be a bonus) for auditing purposes (especially for determining inactive logins). Currently,

Dear Help, I'm working on building samba from source (version 3.0.29) on AIX v6.1. I used the following configure statement: ./configure --with-shared-modules=idmap_ad --with-krb5=/etc/krb5 CC=xlc CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/pware/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/pware/lib I then edited the Makefile so that the following libraries were included: LIBS=-liconv -ldl -lcom_err -lnsl And then to fix an AIX specific

Dear Help, I'm currently running Samba with an LDAP passdb backend. I'm trying to figure out how to NOT allow a particular user to change their password (through Windows, or any interface). I've tried modifying the values for sambaPwdCanChange and sambaPwdMustChange for a particular user, but it seems like it only effects making them change their password, instead of whether or not

Dear Help, Initially, I thought that I had solved this problem, but it turns out that I haven't. I currently have Samba set up as a PDC with an eDirectory/LDAP backend. There are also a few Samba BDCs in play as well. If a user enters the correct password, there are no issues and everything authenticates fine. If I turn off the PDC and force a user to authenticate against a BDC with the

Dear Help, We are in the process of setting up a new domain using Active Directory on Windows Server 2003R2. One of our goals was to use Active Directory for authentication on our AIX box (running version 6.1). I was able to successfully set up Kerberos, and the LDAP client to connect to our AD server so that you can now log in to the AIX box with users found in Active Directory. However, no

Dear Help, I am having a very odd problem. For some reason, I am able to browse to my Samba share by IP address but not by host name from Windows 2008 servers in a particular domain (the same domain the Samba server belongs to). However, I am able to browse by host name from XP clients as well as Windows 2008 servers in a different domain. Even stranger, if I add an alias (using the netbios
