Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hi. Myself and a anti-Micro$oft companion tried to get NT domain logons working yesterday and seem pretty close, but not quite. Samba is 1.9.18alpha3, server is an Ultra-2 running SunOS 5.5.1. Encrypted passwords seem to be working, a la smbclient and mostly from NT, "mostly" because it *seemed* to be working but we did have some problems with home directories in smbpasswd changing

Heya all, So I've finally got a machine on this Samba 3 domain. Yey. Its an XP Pro box, so I grabbed the UsrMgr.exe and SrvMgr.exe programs from Microsoft, and hoped to at least use UsrMgr to see lists of users, maybe even as a full User manager, since I can't find a decent one that does all the samba3 stuff. Anyway, I'm on the domain, and I run the UsrMgr.exe program and I get an

Hello: I have set up samba PDC using samba 3.0.11. When I use the usrmgr.exe tool on NT4 machine to add user to the domain, it prompts and says: "The following error occurred changeing properties of the user mary: fail find the group" (The error msg actually appears as Chinese in my computer, I just translate the error message). Then I check with the samba log file and it said: group

Hi, We are running samba 3.0.28 on RHEL 5 as a PDC serving around 1000 active users . This domain was vampired from aWindows NT 4 domain a few years ago. OpenLDAP 2.2.13 is used as the back end user database. One of the problems we have is that usrmgr.exe does not display any groups. I can use usrmgr to create users, delete users and create groups. But I cannot use it to delete groups

Hi there, I'm running Debian Sarge with the sernet-packages of Samba. Yesterday I updated from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23. When I start the usrmgr.exe, I still are able to modify users but I cannot see/modify groups anymore. Where could I start to find the problem? Thanks. Holger

Hi I have set up my own domain on Debian stable (3.0.14a-3sarge2) and can log in etc. I have just gone to administrate my user accounts using the server tool (usrmgr.exe) from microsoft (i know it is not the problem of samba to support these but...) when i select my new domain 'EDDU' i get the error: "the specified local group does not exist" Having read pretty much every

Hello, I am trying to find and easy way for end users to add Samba accounts to a Linux server. Some of my end users are schoot teachers, and they have to add tens of students to their Samba servers. I have a running Linux with Samba, configured upon the directions of Samba-3 by example, chapter 3, "Secure Office Networking", this is Samba with tdbsam, not LDAP. I can create accounts

i built a samba/ldap pdc. i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser. it was made by a 'net rpc vampire' because i have to migrate from an NT4 domain. so if i understand well, 'net rpc vampire' creates unix groups with blank spaces but shouldnt ? unix groups are at the right of the groupmap list ? exact ?

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites 1) i fixed a problem with nmbd's GETDC response, it is responding better but still not perfectly (and 2.0.x and cvs main need to be fixed, as well) as there exists no explanation for the correct response to locate a Domain Controller using GETDC. the upshot of fixing this is that joining an nt workstation to a TNG domain is now _extremely_

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.1 with LDAP backend running as a PDC here. When I start up usrmgr.exe from Windows NT, it will read all the users (or computers, for srvmgr.exe) in the domain and report them back correctly. However, whomever I am logged in as ( including gid 512 users) it will not let me see details or change anything. In the logs after trying to view a users details I will get
