...setup as Ubuntu 7.10. Upgraded to 8.04.1LTS, Samba 3.0.28 and has latest updates installed as of this morning. Currently Samba is configured to use smbpasswd for passdb backend. As tdbsam has become the peferred backend, would like to migrate to tdbsam. When I attempt "pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tbdsam" I get the following result: "No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin Error loading module '/usr/lib/samba/pdb/tbdsam.so': /usr/lib/samba/pdb/tbdsam.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory No builtin nor plugin backend for tdbsam found Unable...

Hi All, Just upgraded a test box to 3.0.23b and discovered some changes that cause a panic. I had an smb.conf with passdb backend = tbdsam guest The guest bit now causes panic action. log.smbd complains ... "No builtin nor plugin backend for tdbsam guest found" Either the build options have changed or the guest operative has issues. Works OK without guest, but it's been necessary to use it in the past on occasions....

...auth/auth_sam.c:493(check_sam_security) check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER This happens from any machine the user concerned tries to connect the domain. Other Win7 users do not have the problem regardless what machine they use. The user exists in tbdsam and in the unix passwd file as does the machine. Everything worked well until Friday, when we experienced this problem. Friday the user first experienced this problem, however after several retries to log in the domain it suddenly worked again. Today (Monday) the user couldn't get his user p...

Okay, have a small office running Samba on MDK 10.1 and XP workstations: samba-server-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-client-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-vscan-clamav-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-common-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk Using tbdsam as our backend. I recently added a new user, however this user does not run the regular login script for some reason net use h: \\FILESERVER\homes /YES net use p: \\FILESERVER\public /YES net use z: \\FILESERVER\archive /YES The only drive being mapped is the home directory and it...

Help!! I have been using tbdsam as a backend and I have been unable to get the pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 3 to be enforced. When I set the attribute it seems that I can try to login as many times as I want. Any help out there? Terrance

Hi All, I just upgraded a workstation server to a PDC server. I am using tbdsam as my user database. Question 1: As a workgroup server, I created my groups in /etc/group (groupadd). Is this still the case? Do I also need to tell Samba about a different database for groups? Question 2: occasionally I get asked for the user with "administrator's" privileges. D...

.../docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/StandAloneServer.html#simplynice Samba (smbd) crashes with a "failed to get pdb methods for backend guest" message. After searching the mail archives I have my doubts as to whether the conf line "passdb backend = guest" is correct. Tried "tbdsam" but then I run into all kinds of access challenges from the clients. Because this is an _embedded_ system with limited user management, we want samba to ignore all access operations. I.e. don't do any PAM, Unix user/password checks. Just allow read access to the directory from any Wi...

Hi, I'm building up a new server to replace an old one running Samba2. The new server is running Samba 3 and I'm having a problem getting it to recognise my groups in /etc/groups. I'm using the old smbpasswd backend, not the new tbdsam database. I've copied my smb.conf, and the files from /usr/local/private across to the new machine, as well as /etc/group and migrated the user accounts accross I can login OK from a workstation, but I can't get access to any shares other than the home directory & netlogon. Looking...

...n annoying problem regarding capital letters in usernames. I have three users whose usernames begin with a capital, and I'd really like to fix this so that all usernames are lower case, for consistency and to avoid confusion if they use other services provided by the linux box. (I'm using tbdsam backend, with Samba 3.0.22 as PDC.) I've tried using usermod to change the user's UNIX username. But once this is done, the user is unable to log in. I'm not able to to change the SMB username - it's not an option in pdbedit as far as I can tell, and 'net user rename' fail...

Hello, Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine names were not created. Creating account: IT-NT$ Could not create posix account info for 'IT-NT$' Creating account: PDC$ Could not create posix account info for 'PDC$' <snip> And seemingly random user accounts were also not created. Can I make another pass with vampire to retrieve the missed

I've recently upgraded to 3.3.2. I run a small domain using tbdsam.

...ying to work out why. The setup that worked: OS X Tiger (10.4) Server as PDC. Linux servers (a variety of flavours, from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to SLES 11 SP2) getting user information from the server by LDAP and using SMB to export file shares, handing authentication requests back to the OS X machine by tbdsam. What broke it: Updating the OS X machine to Snow Leopard Server. What broke: the older (Samba version 3.0.28) linux boxes can still bind to the PDC and hand mount requests ok. The newer machines (3.6.3) can't bind to the PDC and can't authenticate mount requests. On a new machine, if I...

Hi, Samba-3 with LDAP backend is capable in this. I'm using it and it works. All you have to do, is to use LDAP and set proper account policies: $ pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 5 (after 5 wrong password, user account will be locked out - samba sets password hashes to ***NOPASSWORD*** and user is unable to logon). $ pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 9 # password

Hello, I am hoping someone will offer some help. I'm currently trying to setup a samba 3 PDC with LDAP authentication backend in Fedora core 1. I've read loads of documentation, including http://www.hilinski.net/samba/ldap_PDC_samba.doc http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html http://samba.idealx.org/samba-ldap-howto.pdf As well as tons of posts in the mailing list
