Hi, is there a HOWTO about migrating from Samba TNG to Samba 2.2? I have problems with the user profiles on the Windows client machines, they are recreated on login on the new Samba (2.2.5) machine. I copied the SID (with smbpasswd), /etc/passwd and smbpasswd to the new machine, and everything works fine, except for the user profiles. Currently we are not using server-saved profile, but we will

Hello, I have inherited a samba-tng PDC (without ldap) that I am to upgrade to samba 3. My first attempt failed miserably. I copied over the smbpasswd and the domain SID, users were able to log in, but most were not able to load their profiles. I think I have to copy over machine IDs, but I'm not sure how to proceed. The migration section of the the howto doesn't seem to apply to

Hello, all: My Samba server is a member of a Windows 2000 AD domain. Authentication to the Samba server is, of course, by encrypted NTLM hashes. Authentication to the host itself, which runs Red Hat Linux 7.1, is by NIS (the AD domain controller is running Server for NIS). I want to remove NIS (or at least the passwords from NIS). To accomplish this, I wish to use pam_krb5 to authenticate users

Greetings ... Please could someone confirm that Samba 2.2.x and Samba 3.0 ( Head ) does not support Trusts between domains. Thanks Mailed Lee

Would like to know if it is possible to switch to the latest production release of samba (2.2.3a) from samba-tng 2.6alpha and maintain the same configuration, password, mapping files, security identifiers, etc as tng. If not how would I convert my setup from tng to main with minimal effort? thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Got something to say? Say

The simple answer is yes. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

We're a Solaris/Linux shop, trying to migrate the last vestiges of our NT domain over to Samba. We've got a few users using Windows 20000 workstations, and for some odd reason can't get them to join the domain with local profiles. The Winboxen always try to create roaming profiles on the PDC (which we don't want), and there's no way to force a local profile, other than

OK: First, please respond to me directly, as I'm not on the TNG list. Here's the situation: I will be setting up a "computer lab" for 30-40 PC's with various users (students). Here are my needs: 1) One Touch (point) User administration (the simpler the better) 2) Simplest set of LINUX SW possible 3) NO NT PDC 4) All clients are W2K. 5) Want

Hi, Andrew, Thank you very much for your answer. Now our case is as below: 1, our client machine is the windows 2000 2, We want our Kerberos run in the Unix box. 3, We also want the samba as PDC for all windows user and machine. 4, We want integrate the Kerberos Authentication with samba authentication. So in this situation, can we get the kerberos login from the windows

Hello, all! Let's say, hypothetically, that one was trying to migrate a NT4 domain to Samba without the knowledge of the NT admin of a domain you trusted. :) Basically, what I need is the password for my trust account, but it's in some obfuscated hash under the G$$xxxxx secret. Does anybody know how this is stored, or am I down to sniffing network traffic? Thanks, David Boynton

This is a question before i go into production with my setup. Thanks everyone for the assistance i received while setting up Samba. I am going to have an AS/400 mount an NFS directory on my linux server and it is going to be constantly writing to this share. Also about 400 users are going to be connected to this same share through samba, accessing via windows NT. Has anyone heard of any issues

Hi, Andrew, Thank you very much. I have read some information about the samba PDC kerberos authentication as below. >> Anyone worked with a combination of Samba (TNG, or 2.x) running as a PDC for >> a network of primarily NT workstations, with the passwords being >> authenticated back into a Kerberos IV database? or a Kerberos V? > >> I'm trying to get this

Hi everyone, Iam quite new to Samba, Iam trying to set it up as a PDC. When I do: smbpasswd -m machine -a user I get an error message like this: tdbsam: no NUA rids available, cannot add user paulien$! Failed to add entry for user paulien$. Failed to modify password entry for user paulien$ What does this mean? I tried searching on google and some other sites, but don;t seem to find the correct

I think this question been asked/answered before, but please forgive me for this. I have Samba server on RH7.2 Linux and Win98/2000 workstations setup. both win98/2000 workstations connects to same samba share, Linux(samba server) user and Win98/2000 user/passwords are set same and i've updated both of win98/2000 workstations registy with win98/win2000_PlainPasswor.reg file from samba

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland

Hello, When I open a text file on a Samba fileserver using LDAP for authentication, Samba always makes these LDAP calls (see below). The user has been authenticated so why does Samba still makes these LDAP connections? Any ideas? /var/log/ldap.log when opening a text file. ldap-hh slapd[22940]: conn=3922 op=19 SRCH base="o=kuleuven,c=be" scope=2 filter="(uid=m2000944)"

I keep hoping for better wasy to remotely manage windows machines through samba. In the very old samba-tng there was an rpcclient that could connect to a remote machine and do various things like read/write the registry, grab event logs, etc. I could never get it to work very well and waited for a better one. The trouble is the rpcclient program in samba-current doesn't have these features.

I read in the Samba HOWTO Collection that every machine in the domain needs to have a corresponding UNIX account. Does this mean whenever I add a machine to the network, I must create a UNIX account for each one?? Am I supposed to create Unix accounts for my users as well? Doesn't this defeat the purpose of using a centralized authentication backend such as LDAP or MySQL?

Hello, I am trying to migrate an NT domain from an NT PDC to a samba3.0 PDC without disrupting users or requiring them to change passwords, etc. The complication is that there are NT fileservers in the domain already, so it's important that the users be transferred to the samba machine with SID's and RID's intact (so they can access these shares with the same permissions).
