...very happy (well done guys!). Installed a new server with Samba 3 based on Debian Etch. The new server was set as the domain PSCT2 to keep things clear. Copied all data across to the new server. The new server has a tdbsam back end - and the accounts from the old server were imported using tdbedit (see man tdbedit). So tdbedit was used to import the records from the smbpasswd file from the old server. What happened was that the user accounts in the tdbsam database were set up with the old PSCT as the value for domain and not the domain of the new server which is PSCT2. And tdbedit can...

...n samba. For some reason the printer did not get deleted in samba and when you browse the server you still see the printer. I did a net rpc printer and the deleted printer still showed up shared on the server. How do you delete a printer that still in samba, but was deleted from cups? Do I need tdbedit to remove the printer? If I need tdbedit do I have to compile samba to create this tool? I could not find it ubuntu's binary version. Thanks in advance -Glenn

Hi there. I need help. I installed samba + nt acl. I switched on acl on the filesystem, added users in the /etc/passwd and in the tdb database samba, using tdbedit. When I logged in the share, I created a test file, clicked on the right mouse button, chose properties->security. And When I clicked on "add" button into Win 2000 server, I saw all my samba account. But When I did it into WinXP I saw nobody from my samba account, a locals only....

Hello Anytime I try to do anything with 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 idea...

What is the best method for migrating the samba/winbind uid/gid when moving from an nt4 domain to windows 2003 ad? I have multiple samba 3.x servers running in an nt4 domain. All machines use "idmap uid = 10000-20000" and "idmap gid = 10000-20000" in smb.conf using winbind to maintain security on files and folders. When I move my samba 3.x test servers from nt4 domain to

...followed the official HOW-TO install step-by-step, but now I'm stucked. Everything works well on the (old) 3.0.23d Samba server. I can't add a machine to the workgroup using the admin account (administrator). I migrated the smb.conf file and the persistent *.tdb files. When I do a "tdbedit -Lv administrateur" (the administrator), I can see the details of the user on both servers. The two servers uses the same backend DB (a MySQL service). Smbd logs confirms it can connect correctly to the DB. testparm runs are successfull. When I try to connect to Samba with "smbclient...
