Hello, After provisioning a domain (with rfc2307 attributes), what are the next steps to enable S4 winbind to use these attributes? I have one server configured to get user info from AD via LDAP, and with the proper mappings, getent passwd reports the uid, gid, shell, etc that I have specified in AD. However, when using winbind for authentication, getent passwd reports incorrect (generated?)

Hi, My nightly rsync jobs recently began to fail. I don't recall making any modifications to the rsync config files or upgrading rsync. Below is the error I receive when I try to rsync the home directory of serverA to serverB. Is there anything obviously wrong? Thanks. serverA rsync # rsync -arczv --delete --password-file=/etc/rsync/rsync.password /home 192.168.1.4::home @ERROR: auth failed

Hello, It seems Samba4 is having problems with CNAME records. I am seeing the same behavior as mentioned in the thread below. Is there any ETA on a fix for this? This is identical to the problem with MX records. This is currently a much bigger problem than the MX records. I appreciate any assistance. [root at DC1 var]# dig autodiscover.testdom.com CNAME ; <<>> DiG

Hello, Has this problem been fixed? It looks like the patch referenced above had issues, but there were no further follow-ups in bugzilla.

Is there any way to have Samba 4 / AD servers not connected to the internet and still have DNS working on the windows clients? My samba 3 servers are not permitted to be connected to the company network / internet so I have 2 nics in each desktop. 1 connecting to the private gigabit network where my samba 3 servers exist. The other connects to the company + internet. -- John M. Drescher

Hello, I am in the process of updating a bunch of scripts and tools that I had created for use with our Samba 3 domain. I am currently working on a script that emails a password expiration warning. I have the script setup to query the pwdLastSet attribute for each user. It then performs some simple math to figure out when the password will expire and when the notification emails should start.

Hi, I am using centos 6.3 and did the migration from samba3 to Samba4. More the "getent passwd" does not return users. I made the link: ln-s /usr/local/samba/lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 / lib/libnss_winbind.so ln-s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 And change in /etc/nsswitch: passwd: files winbind shadow: files group: files winbind When I run the command:

I have tried everything, This is CentOS 6.4 with SELinux DISABLED, Bind version BIND 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17, samba 4.0.6 downloaded as a tar.gz from samba.org -- I have read EVERY maillinglist, IRC Log, how-to on google, tutorial on samba.org, and many many people have had this problem and not once have any of the posters resolved it, so I am now a desperate man reaching out to you with as

Hello, We are currently testing S4rc5 for an upcoming S3 to S4 migration. I am able to duplicate this issue with both classicupgrade and a new provision (both cases using internal DNS). I am able to join a 2008R2 system to the domain and promote it to a DC, however I am unable to demote it. The problem appears to be that the 2008R2 server fails replicating to the S4 DC. The specific error that I

Hello, After noticing some odd behavior on my domain, I realized that many of my DNS records are incorrect and that clients are no longer properly updating DNS. While looking into this, I also discovered that I am unable to delete MX records via AD DNS Manager or samba-tool. Both tools "see" the record but report it does not exist when I attempt to delete it. I can create new MX

I have come across a few accounts (out of 300+) that seem to be locked that will not unlock. These accounts were migrated from S3. Can someone advise - what am I missing here? I've reset the password several times via RSAT, checking the "Unlock Account" checkbox, which has not helped. Resetting the user's password via smbpasswd gives me: pdb_try_account_unlock: Account dmscott

Hello, Some mischief happened and I have been asked if I can find out who was logged into their computers within a specific off-hours time frame. My logs for that time frame happened to be running at debug level 3, so I have been looking through them and trying to figure out how to recognize a workstation login. I find lines beginning with auth_check_password_send that seem like reasonably good

Hello, I have a Linux server acting as a Windows PDC and we're using roaming profiles. Wired clients connect fine and upload/download their profiles. Wireless clients do not. I also have RADIUS running on the Linux server and the Wireless AP is configured to authenticate against the RADIUS server as well, using the windows login information. I enabled verbose debugging on the RADIUS

Hello, I'm receiving the following warning when building S4rc5 on CentOS 6.3. I have installed the ctdb and ctdb-devel (1.0.114.3 ) packages included with CentOS. The only thing I could find on Google is someone with the same problem around a year ago, but that went unanswered. Thanks for any help! building without cluster support: CHECK_SRVIDS control missing

Hello, I am having a problem after performing a classicupgrade with rc6. This did not happen with previous RCs. When adding any of the AD MMC snap-ins from a member computer, MMC crashes with the error below. I have the provision scripted and am using the same ldif, smb.conf and /var/lib/samba, so I'm fairly certain the only difference is rc6. I am testing with a Win 7 VM image that was

Is it possible to reset a users password from a member server without knowing the current password? I was able to do this with S3, though it was not truly a "member" server - I configured the server in question to have direct access to OpenLDAP in smb.conf. I have a member server joined to my S4 domain and a user can change his or her own password via passwd, kpasswd or smbpasswd,

Hello, Is it necessary or recommended to run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' and 'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' when upgrading from 4.0.0 to 4.0.3?

Hello, I stumbled on this problem while troubleshooting a time synchronization problem. The Windows commands "w32tm /monitor" and "nltest /dclist:domain" appear to both use the same call to query the domain for a list of domain controllers. When the DC is Samba4 (2003 domain & forest level) these commands complete successfully. After raising the levels to 2008 or 2008_R2

Hello, I get the following error when performing a classicupgrade on rc6. This does not occur with rc4 or rc5.
