Is there a way to send a message to all users currently logged into a Samba domain controller? The reason why I ask is that I have a Samba 3.x.x primary/backup domain controller setup and as soon as the system monitor detects that the primary domain controller is offline I would like to execute a command to send a domain wide message telling all domain users to save their work to the local

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem on rsync with the --delete option. Situation: Server = Mandrake Linux 9.2 running rsync daemon Client = Windows XP workstation running cygwin + rsync2.5.1 combined with ssh. All this implemented conform the website of Robert Scholten (http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/) Every thing seems to work fine exept for the --delete option. The rsync says:

Is there a way to configure the latest version of Samba to automount shares when a Linux client logs into a Samba PDC? I have searched high and low trying to find an answer to this and the only information I have found is using pam_mount (which I have yet to get working correctly) or NFS. When searching for an answer, I came across comments such as "NFS is the best way to mount shares in a

We're running rsync 2.5.7 on a Windows2000 server, in combination with cygwin/ssh. The server who receives the data is a Linux server. The amount of data from the Windows server is about 100 Gb. Represented by 532.000 files of different nature. Mostly doc, ppt and xls files. It takes about 2 hours to create only the file list. Is the amount of data/files to big, should I segmentate the

I would like to know the options I need in my smb.conf to have for setting up a Samba 3.x Backup Domain Controller when using LDAP. What I am confused about is reference made in the smb.conf man page to "idmap". From the man page and Samba how-to documentation, I understand this "idmap" reference to only be used for member servers and backup domain controllers that

I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC test-bdc:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config

If I configure a samba PDC and then a samba BDC, do I need a machine trust account for the BDC? That is, do I have to run "net rpc join" on the BDC? Or manually create the account for the BDC in LDAP? -- Mariano Absatz - "El Baby" el.baby at gmail.com www.clueless.com.ar

Hi people. I have finally my PDC+BDC running with LDAP+replicaon different subnets. My doubts are simple, I want to understand a little more about BDC. My network is this: Domaine Name=DOMA Networks:NET-A 192.168.40.0/24 NET-B 192.168.50.0/24 PDC=192.168.40.2 BDC=192.168.50.2 wins server = PDC As u can see, both serves exist on different subnets,I want to

Hello, Please forgive my ignorance if this is a old topic or is a easy, I am rather new to these stuffs. I have Samba running and authenticating properly in our Organization as a PDC. Now if I wanted a Windows 2000 server as a BDC for that domain, it that possible (samba 2.2 or 3). I know the 3 alpha supports active directory. The Windows 2000 server will be a BDC for the Samba PDC. If

Hi, After lots of struggle and rtfm I finally got most things running, except for 'nmblookup' and 'net getlocalsid' on the BDC. I'm not new to Samba, but plenty more to learn. Here's the setup in summary: system pdc is the PDC on subnet 192.168.0.0, running SuSE10.1, LDAP master, wins server, domain master browser, no iptables; system bdc is the BDC on subnet 192.168.2.0,

hi@all! i have a samba server with ldap as pdc. everything works fine and now i'm testing samba as bdc. i copied the smb.conf from the pdc to the bdc and changed the domain master = yes to no! then i stopped the smb service on the pdc and tried to login on an winxp machine and this also worked (the log file show me that the login is on the bdc)! is it possible that the users can change

Hello, is it possible to add a wind 2003 machine as BDC to a samba domain. Is documentation documentation available ? Thanks Andreas

I am hoping someone can help here. I noticed a really odd issue. WINS resolution doesn't seem to work between my PDC and BDC, both Samba 3.0.14a boxes running on Debian. I have nsswitch.conf configured properly, I think. Here are the nsswitch.conf settings. PDC: hosts: files dns wins BDC: hosts: files dns wins On the BDC, I have the parameter wins server = 192.168.0.2, the address

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi, Maybe this was asked many time (although can't find it on google). Let's assume 2 scenarios: 1) I've got local network where PDC and BDC are set up. PDC is working fine so the BDC is. When it's possible for any XP client to use BDC instead of PDC? I read in samba docs that if PDC is slow client can use BDC - but what does it mean slow for the client? How the client knows

Hi, Does someone know how will all my client machines find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running Samba with LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. The replication on all domain controllers are perfect. I went as far as making BDC

When BDC will not make any changes in ldap, is it safe to not set any *script paramater in smb.conf? --beast

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin
