Dear samba guru, I have a little bug i can't solve. It is pretty misterious to me, must be a problem how samba execute the add user script. Now here is the situation. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 with ldap 2.0.23 to run as PDC with win2k workstations. Everything works as expected except the add user script to add workstation automaticly to the domain. add user script =

Hi, I'm trying to build a PDC and BDC to elimenate Windows NT on a network and have load balancing and fault tolerence for users. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 on two servers, working with openldap 2.0.23 with a master and a slave. Replication on LDAP servers works fine. I've set up a domain controller and wanted to set the other server as BDC in case the PDC goes down. Each time i put

I just ran across this myself. I guess I dont understand why there needs to be machine names in /etc/passwd if you are storing everything in LDAP. Am I missing a configuration option here? Can one of you samba geniuses point me in the right direction please? Thank you! >I have exactly the same bug. Your original email was dated 24 May 2002 >so I can safely assume that either you

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs. Everything work very fine when running the scripts in shell mode... but! In smb.conf : ============= add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u This line don't work and it should, because when running

It's me again, with the solution to my problems. To get a working BDC, you have to kill samba, delete your secrets.tdb, create a MACHINE.SID and then restart samba. You will have to do this on the PDC and the BDC to have the same SID the the secrets.tdb file. Then machine account are valid even if you move your PDC, or you add a 2nd BDC, as long as you create the MACHINE.SID file before the

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to add a group on a linux PDC running Samba 2.2.4 to a windows 2000 clients local "Power Users Group" or any of the local windows 2k groups. I want certain people to be in the Power Users Group on 2K, but I don't want to have to add each domain user individually to that local win2k group, I want to add a domain group to the win2k group.

We've encountered a problem with getting a newly installed Samba based machine to join the domain. Here's the command line and error response: [root@chain samba]# smbpasswd -j COLUMBIA -r cmc-bkup -U murphyn Password: error creating domain user: NT_STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_ROLE Unable to join domain COLUMBIA. [root@chain samba]# Installation is a RedHat 7.2 (from KRUD) box

I've installed the rpm's and everything seems to be set up fine. I've been through many documents (even the one on redhat that says i must change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in one of the config files (/etc/xinetd.d/swat). When i direct mozilla to http://localhost:901 I get, "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:901 I think maybe that something is not

This weekend I upgraded SAMBA from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3a then made it the PDC on our LAN. Original PDC was an NT4 Server. There is a Win2K Server running Citrix Metaframe-XP, and the old NT4 PDC Server was replaced with another Win2K Server to be the Database Server. I didn't want to bother with setting Win2K up as a DNS and DFS/ADS Server (required for being a PDC), so selected to make SAMBA the

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the

Hi, I had success to join a samba domain with a win2K Station a few days ago. But today when a try to log with an another account, my station win2K say me she can't contact my PDC. I does not know what occurred since the last time. I disjoin my domain and after i has try to join again but with no success. The client Win2K and serveur PDC samba are on same network and switch thus no problem

Hi, We have Samba 2.2.6(+2.2.7 security patch) installed on solaris. Samba is used as PDC for WinNT and Win2K clients. The WinNT machines have no problems geting into the domain as machine trust accounts exist in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd file. However, Win2k clients are not able to join the domain. I did go through the documentation, and hence created root account in 'smbpasswd'

I am having problems making the client win2k machine join the domain . My Samba PDC is configured as follows : 1>added trust account to the smbpasswd file (account to the win2k machine name). 2>set the global admin parameter to "student" (student acnt exists on smb server) Client is configured as follows : 1>user 'student' has been created . Problem : When I change

Easy one. I have win98 clients that login and connect to the shares fine. My problem is the user home directory, each user can see their folders and can even open them but they cannot save to their home directory. Each users home dir is setup as 0700 (-rwx------), as are the files and subdir's, which I believe is Read, Write, Execute for the owner of the file. What am I missing? Chris.

Hi, I'm trying to get Samba on a Linux box to work. Authentication via user level worked fine, but what I really want is it to take user authentication from a win2k box, which is our "primary local server". The win2k box is not a pdc, (the real pdc is 2000km away, close to the polar circle), but according to the docs it doesn't have to be. So in smb.conf I put: security =

I cannot join a Win2k machine to the Samba LDAP PDC. Have added a root account in ldap added the machine in /etc/passwd and added the machine via smbpasswd but to no avail. I have turned up logging to level 3 and can't find anything. Below are the following errors.: On Win2k PC : Logon Failure: unknown user or bad password Samba LDAP PDC: Jul 2 14:54:24 devel smbd[19074]: No user to

Hi everyone, System info: OS: Suse 9.1 samba: 3.0.2a-51 PDC: win2K My winbind was working well with the win2k PDC. I'm using it to control access to my samba shares and subversion repositories. Then they had to change the win2k's hardware. The hostname, domain name, settings, etc. were retained (so they say). And this broke my authentication. I rejoined the domain using net ads

My Win2k client is able to recognize the domain but is unable to authenticate into the domain . Earlier i had created a trust account for the win2k client . Which username/password am i supposed to give here ? The manual says that the samba server admin usr/pwd should be given here , but which account is this . Below in the smb.conf you will see that the admin user is set to 'student' .

I'm trying to locate the list of registry values to adjust how Win2K clients handle the user profile with the Win2K boxes joined to a Samba PDC and logging in with domain accounts. Specifically I would like to DISABLE roaming profiles!!! Many moons ago, the WarpServer Win2K client from IBM came with very good documentation on how to adjust that client to not create roaming profiles, etc...

Hi I am trying to find someone who can help me with configuring samba as a Win2k PDC, I have read various How-TO's and the online reference material but some of it has conflicting advice. I wondered if someone who has actually managed to configure and uses samba as a Win2k PDC and logon server could email me to help me with this issue. Javid Mahdavi
