similar to: unusual use of Samba for authentication of W2k??

Hi - I have been attempting to set up Samba to do authentication against a Windows 2K Domain Controller as well as NT PDCs. I have installed Winbindd, Samba, and compiled with PAM and updated my smb.conf, pam.conf file and the other stuff in the installation guide. The objective of all of this is to allow an application running on top of Solaris to authenticate the users logging into the

Summary: ---------------------- Hello, when using the MS NT SrvTools (User & Server Manager for Domains), I get an error when I try to access an individual user's properties ("The following error occurred while accessing the properties of the user <blah> \n The specified procedure could not be found \n The user properties cannot be edited or viewed at this time"); however,

Please could a Samba developer or user answer these questions. Background: We use Samba for serving files, and it has worked extremely well in this simple mode for 20,000 plus users in this university for the previous 3/4 years. Thanks to all those involved for this excellent software. We are soon to implement Windows 2K and Active Directory as the university's primary authentication

We have a Windows 2000 server with Terminal Services. It is an Active Directory master server for a microscopic network comprising itself and one Windows 2000 Workstation client. It is part of a network consisting of Unix machines: several Solaris 8 systems, a handful of Linux boxes, and a Mac OS X workstation. User authentication and other login information on this network is provided by NIS

I asked the same questions Brian when we upgraded our network from a Novell NDS/Windows NT environment to Windows 2000 a couple of years ago. I thought it overly complex and expensive. Admittedly the Samba PDC emulation was not as advanced as it is now, but I could see nothing wrong with using a simple NT domain model and Samba PDCs as the customer had <100 users. The big arguments for were

I think I've looked over every post that has acl or sid or winbind in it. I don't think this has been discussed quite this way. The symptom is similar to other posts but the environment is a bit different. We can do perms through samba, and we can see acls that have been set using setfacl, but we can't change the acls (e.g., add a user). We get: [2002/11/15 17:02:17, 0]

Hey all, After setting up a migration server (a server which will act as a test for a Samba 3.x environment), so we can make sure our migration from Samba 2.2.x to 3.x goes as smoothly as possible, I've hit upon a problem, now I am not sure whether this is the fault of Samba (my configuration) or NT4 or whether this is infact designed behaviour for both/either servers. I'd like to

Yesterday I moved my LAN domain from a W2K server to Samba and I have problems logging on to my WinNT 4 machine using local profiles. My boss's computer is a freshly installed W2K and it had no problem at all with the change. My computer is a WinNT4 SP 6 and when I tried to log on with my user it said it couldnt find the profile and logged me off immediately. I used to have a roaming

Okay, I'm at wit's end, and am about ready to give up on Samba 3.x as a way to implement single sign-on. I would like to know if there's anyone out there who has the following environment: - Solaris 8 and 9, running NIS (not NIS+) for automount and passwd/group maps - W2K-based Active Directory I'm trying to get Solaris authentication to work using AD user accounts. According to

Hi all, Set-up: Local NT4-RESOURCE domain which the Samba server is a member off. One NT4-ADMIN domain with users accounts and one W2K domain with some other user accounts. A one way trust from NT4-ADMIN to NT4-RESOURCE and a one way trust from W2K to NT4-RESOURCE. Samba version 2.0.7 running on Solaris 2.6. According to the NT admins, the W2K domain is in native mode, but they still use

Hi, I am in dire need of some help. I have no problems connecting to shares with my W95/98 clients, but big problems with W2K. The same username / password is used on both the PC and SAMBA (and NIS - I am using Soalris 2.7 for my SAMBA server). When I try to connect to a share from the W2K client, I get the message "Access Denied". I have looked set nmbd / smbd to run at debug level 9

I know this isn't a samba configuration issue, but I'm hoping someone might have encountered this problem before and knows the solution. I just installed a Buffalo LinkStation (Linux Samba NAS) on my network and was atempting to set up a shared printer. I have three systems. All are W2K. One uses BlackICE, the others use Norton Internet Security 2004. All of the systems, including the

Hello, I have two Samba 3.0.22 PDCs and each trust each other. When I add an user of each domain to the permissions of a file on a windows machine (W2k, WXP), it shows for them DOMAIN\USERNAME. Everything is fine. But when i close the permission window and reopen it, then the user out of the trusted domain is only shown as SID. The one of the own domain is resolved fine. This happens on clients

Hello samba people, is there anybody who got users logins with modified Shell Folders or User Shell Folders registry keys working with W2k-Clients ? After trying to get this to work for about a week, I'm really stuck.... :( Bye, Axel -- ,gis siht no noitpyrcne eht gnikaerb yB .liaj ot oG .ACMD eht detaloiv evah uoy

Hello everyone, Can I use Ldap to authenticate against our W2K PDC? I have winbind working for Samba 2.2.8a - but the boss wants me to see about Ldap. If this is possible could you provide a starting point for me? I can use getent group to get a list of domain groups after I adjusted the /etc/ldap.conf By default Samba found our State Ldap server upon installation - I work for the State

The problem is actually very simple to describe. I manage a Linux fileserver. Most of the clients use Win98 or NT4 and that seems to work just fine - but w2k is an entirely different story. What happens is that no w2k can see the shares in the linux machine an when trying to access it w2k comes with something like "Service not avaible - connection closed". Now the really fun part starts.

Have you locked at samba-3.0.2a/source/nsswitch directory ? Normally the pam modules and nss libs are there, you need manually copy that to /lib/security (Debian system. maybe different in your distribution) Also remember to run ldconfig after copy the files to the lib directory. Make sure that you /etc/pam.d/login is, some like that: passwd: winbind files shadow: files group:

Hello, This is not a Samba question itself, but it's somewhat related to Samba. I am planning to replace the two Windows 2000 Server servers in a client company with two Samba PDCs with LDAP backend. Currently, those W2K servers hold the Active Directory and the the antivirus management console. And this is the only nuisance we are finding when moving from Windows Server to Samba PDC. If

Client = W2K OS Server SP2 but not server for anything except a shared software. (I didn't run dcpromo) I've just built a brand new domain with samba as PDC. I did not have any problem with W98, NT WS, NT Server, 2K WS and XP WS. All of these joined the domain successfully and users are happy. But, a user in the company runs a W2K SP2 os SERVER as workstation. There was no

Dear community, I'am using samba as print server for w2k clients on a debian system: samba 3.0.7-2 winbind 3.0.7-2 cupsys 1.1.20final+rc It is possible on the w2k-machines to install printer drivers from samba and to print via samba to the cups server. Within the cups server all jobs have the correct username. If I try to delete pending print jobs from w2k something
