Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was repeated for every user in the smbpasswd-file. The users do not yet exist in the tdbsam-database: pdbedit -L lists only two users each of which does not occur in the smb...

Hi, When I upgraded from Fedora 22 to Fedora 25 my Win10 box lost the ability to connect to shares on the F25 box. The F25 box can still access shares on the Win10 box. F25 is currently running Samba 4.5.13 and I have a simple workgroup setup. Let's call the Win10 box 'fred' and the F25 box 'ethel'. When fred tries to access a share on ethel, I am prompted for username and

Hi, I'm running Samba as a PDC on a Debian Etch machine (3.0.24-6etch9). It's been some time (months, maybe 1 year) since I last added a new machine to the domain, but I'd need to do it today and I'm getting an error: #>pdbedit -a -m Woodstock-VMXP tdb_update_sam: struct samu (woodstock-vmxp$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) The machine does NOT already exist in the tdb Samba database, of course. And I already added it to the Linux system accounts as I always do. I have to say this is a new situation for me, because this is a...

...th the root user (like join the domain) or run 'net user' or 'net group' with root, when I enter the correct password, I get NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL .... I've been trying more commands, and if I run tdbedit -e=tdbsam (to export the smbpasswd to tdbsam style), I get this error : tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [root] without a primary group RID What does it mean Root does not have a primary group RID? I suspect this may be the cause of the NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL messages. Any ideas? Thanks, -David van Geyn

...bout two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I always get the following error: tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [userid] without a primary group RID I have a temporary workaround. I setup my samba accounts using pdbedit and specifying a group RID for the new user: pdbedit -G S-1-5-21-1590455367-7305976-751859383-513 -a <username> Now, I've googled a lot on th...

Hi! Some time ago (samba 3.0.1?) I added machines to my domain with 'srvmrg.exe' and all went as I expect. IIRC. If I am now adding machines, all machine-accounts have the initially group "users" set instead of "machines". But they should't. | add machine script = useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false %u This is, because even if adding machines to the

..., and run the script I found in the HTML docs to map common Windows Domain groups to unix groups. This worked OK. Now I want to create a root account so I can actually join the domain from a Windows 2000 client.
