Hi all, I've been working on shell scripts that allow to manage ldap accounts (users, groups, machines). They are similar to the smbldap-tools but do not need PERL to work (and so on...) and are *very* simple to configure - they may be a good alternative. The only tools you need are standard ldap client commands (ldapadd, ldapdelete, ldapmodify, ldapsearch). The scripts can be used as

Hello all, I am attempting to setup a Samba 3.0.2a based PDC using OpenLDAP 2.2.6 for my user/group authentication backend. So far everything seems to be working properly, I can join the domain from a Win2k PC, login via an account created with smbldap-useradd.pl, map my home directory, run the proper login script, etc. However, with all of that working I'm still having difficulties getting

Hi :) As I'd say in French "de rien !" (you're welcome :)) Yes, you can use PAM to redirect the system authentication calls to your LDAP directory, but in reality samba will continue to use two types of accounts : the "posixAccount"s (same as /etc/passwd) and the "sambaSamAccount"s. Everything will be stored in you LDAP directory, but Samba still needs two

Hi, Same problem for me, any clue ?

Hi all, I've had good feedbacks of people using ldapscripts v1.0... Here is a new 1.1 version, with the following improvements : - Ability to create home directories and set rights - Ability to generate randomized (or not) passwords while creating a user - Password list generation can be activated while doing a massive user import / creation - Added an _ldapinit command to initialize the

Hi all, As Samba users, we often interact with Windows environments. I've developped a PERL script that may be useful to you : it is an .evt (Windows event "log" files) viewer. It is inspired from fccu-evtreader (www.d-fence.be) and displays the contents of an event file. It is available on my website (http://contribs.martymac.com/evtViewer/evtViewer-0.2.tgz) and released under the

Hello all, And now a small advert ;-) I'm pleased to announce the v 1.4 of the ldapscripts. The ldapscripts are shell scripts provided under the terms of the GPL license. They allow to manage POSIX accounts (users, groups, machines) in an LDAP directory. They can be used on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD (and any other Unix-like ?). They are similar to the smbldap-tools but are written in sh, not

Hi all ! I've been using group mapping for a few weeks and found some bugs... For three of them, I tried to develop a small patch. I don't know Samba code very well and this is my first patch, so there could be errors :-p I hope my investigations will be useful :) * Platform : Here is what I used : Debian 3.0r1, Samba 3.0.2rc1 - PDC, OpenLDAP 2.1.23 as backend smb.conf extract :

Hi all ! This is a patch for Group mapping bug #1 reported here : http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/034057.html It activates users' primary group SID update when adding/modifying/deleting a group mapping. It patches utils/net_groupmap.c (net_groupmap_add, net_groupmap_modify, net_groupmap_delete) and can be applied to samba-3.0.2rc1. net_groupmap_add : Scan users

Hi all, I'm trying to mygrate my NT4 PDC to a Samba v3rc2 PDC. Everything worked well during accounts migration (vampire). I'm now trying to back-up the shares (homes, profiles, netlogon), in order to fully migrate the accounts. Unfortunately, I'm facing a stupid problem : each home directory (or profile directory) can only be read from its creator, NOT from the Administrator of the

Hi ! I'm trying to migrate accounts from my NT4 server, I followed each step described in the HOWTO : - tunred off samba - set domain master at "No" in config file - created groups + mappings as it is advised to - created the BDC account in the NT4 server manager - net rpc join'ed the domain but when I try to vampire user/group accounts, here is what I get : # net rpc vampire

The subject says it all. I'm using rocks cluster software to startup a small blade cluster in my lab. The blades I have redboot installed on them. I am able to boot any client that has pxeboot capability using my setup, except for these blades. My thoughs were using redboot commands to do the following: 1. load -v -r -b 0x8000000 -h 10.1.1.1 pxelinux.0 2. start This however caused my

Hello, Can anyone give me arguments that could convince someone to choose for Samba for file and print sharing instead of setting up a NT-server? Performance ? Stability ? Benchmarks ? Tests that someone has done? Things like: "It's free" or "You don't need a powerful machine" are irrelevant to our administrators. I'm looking for answers on questions like:

Hi all, I'm testing group mapping, wondering how It works exactly... I thought Samba was storing a mapping table allowing to retreive infos on Unix/Windows groups in a DYNAMIC way. Unfortunately, group mapping seems to be static, here is what I did : [I'm using Samba b3v3 + LDAP, WITHOUT nss-ldap/pam-ldap/winbind -> everything is stored in my /etc/passwd and /etc/group + in LDAP for

Dear all, I can't understand the diff between roundrobin and rrmemory strategy. Could you explain for me ? and is roundrobin means each available interface ring once or several times and ring another? ; A strategy may be specified. Valid strategies include: ; ; ringall - ring all available channels until one answers (default) ; roundrobin - take turns ringing each available interface ;

First of all I would like to thank Mark for getting roundrobin to go roundrobin. Good job. Now we have some options here for leastrecent and fewestcalls strategy. It needs some work on the logic and Mark recommend that I ask the list and get some input before he makes any changes to it. fewestcalls from what I have seen would always ring the agent with the fewestcalls first then go into
