Hello, i have some problems migrating a Windows 2000 PDC to a Debian GNU/Linux Samba Server, i want to migrate it to a LDAP backend.. but as i'm kind of newbie with ldap and samba migration stuff, i preffered to migrate it to tdbsam first and try it for a while, if everything works fine, then switch to a ldap backend. The problem is that Essential Windows Groups are automatically created, so

Hi all, I've done a serious amount of reading around this but I still can't figure out the implications of what I'm seeing. I have inherited a CentOS 4 Samba 3.0.23 PDC & file server for 40 hosts that has been through the wars. It is standalone and stable and uses the smbpasswd file authentication backend, however I need to upgrade for Windows 7 support. I intend to build a

Is there something special I need to do to let root add computers to the domain in 3.0? When I try to add the workstation I get an error about 'user not found' even though I can logon to a workstation joined to the domain as 'root'. I was able to add computers to the domain with 2.2.8 with an 'add user command' entry and 'domain admin group = root' in my

Hi all. I'm trying to migrate our NT4 domain to Samba-3.0.1-rc3.

I'm running into some domain problems setting up Windows NT 4.0, Samba 3.0 (from source), OpenLDAP 2.0.27 and RedHat 9. I can't get a workstation to join the domain: when I attempt to join the domain from the workstation add machine gui with username and password, I'm told "The machine account for this computer either does not exist or is inaccessible"- but the add machine

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

Hi I am new to linux & Samba. I would like to setup Samba as a domain controller and using Fedora-ds for authentication. I have read some documents from www.samba.org but I am still in the mist. Here is my dumb questions about Samba as follows. 1. Is CENTOS4.6+SAMBA3.0.25 as PDC +FEDORA-DS possible? 2. Is this HOWTO from

Hi Everyone, I have a small project going on. I'm about to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Etch (smbd version 3.0.23d-2+b1). I've already managed to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Sarge (smbd version 3.0.14a-) without any bigger problems. However, when I migrate to Etch I face a small problem. The last thing I want to do before I start samba is to grant my linux/samba admin, NT 'Domain

Hello I have been solving a problem how to make a nonroot user able to administer the domain (add users, groups, modify them etc.) from Windows workstation using usrmgr.exe It looks like what is stated in Samba HOWTO collection as prerequisites is not enough. First I found Chapter 12 cxl "How to make Samba PDC users member of the Domain Admins group" - made the nonroot user member of

Hi all, Now that I've got Samba 2.2.12 running correctly on that HP-UX box, I need to allow write access to a given AD domain group. What is the right way to do it on Samba 2.2? I added a group.map file in smb.conf, and a line inside that said: unixgroup = "AD Domain Group" Then in smb.conf, I put in [global]: groupname map = /etc/opt/samba/group.map And in the correct

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Hi All, I've been reading *lots* of pages and guides everywhere about setting up samba as a PDC, mainly the 8 part guide by John Terpstra. One common thing I found in all the guides I read were unstated dependancies on the Samba version. Tried it using 3.0.9 and it didn't have any rights (I found something somewhere saying this eventually). Then tried it using Debians default of

Please don't flame me. I did attempt to search before posting this question (through Gmail), if there's a better way, please let me know! I followed this article for implementing a Samba PDC: http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p4 Question 1) The only accout that appears to be able to add an account onto the domain is the root account. There must be a way to change that

Hi, Before Samba 3.0.0 RC4 I was running Samba 3.0.0 beta3, and when I upgraded to RC4, I began having problems with group mappings. I didn't notice at first, because on my laptop I don't normally log on to the domain. I just noticed when I tried to use my desktop and log on to the domain... I don't have Domain Admin privileges. So, I look at 'net groupmap list' ... and it
