Hi, I had trouble getting the pwdump program to work correctly on a german version of NT4SP3. I believe the problem is based on the fact that the german group 'Administrators' is called 'Administratoren', and Administrators is hard-coded into the utility. Would it be possible to make that an optional parameter? Unfortunately, I have no access to a C-Compiler on an NT-station, so

Hello all, I hope this is an easy one, I've read all the howtos but I'm still very hazy on how to do this. What I want to do is replace my NT4 PDC with a Samba 3.0 PDC with an LDAP backend. I've got my OpenLDAP up and running with the basic People, Computers and Groups ou's. I've put the builtin NT groups in too. I have Samba 3.0 functioning as a BDC The trouble is

does anyone know how to hide a samba server in SMB terms? on an NT machine the command "net config server /hidden:yes" will make the machine vanish from the network neighbourhood but i cant figure out how to do this for a samba server many thanks sincerely, bob reven

Hi, I would like to migrate from NT PDC to a Samba PDC. My main concern is that all my users have local profile (i.e. there is no roaming profiles). It seems that users profiles on a workstation are not valide when migrating to the Samba PDC. It seams that the users cannot keep the same identity. On the other hand, I would really like to change PDC without users noticing anything. Tools

reetings, Greetings, Can anyone help me find out how to migrate Active Directory users to Samba+LDAP? I have everything working: Samba+LDAP+Kerberos PDC in Debian and I also have a Windows Active Directory in production with more than 100 users added. I just want to transfer all the AD users to de PDC in Debian. I tried using pwdump to extract AD users but with no positive results. Please

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Hi, 1. I want to migrate NT to Samba 3 domain without needing to rejoin all machine (using same domain name and SID). just curious, machine account should belong to what group sid? does it matter if belong to any value? 2. I just examine output of pwdump, some of member domain or even NT BDC is has "*****" in password field which means this account was disabled. I've verified that

Did you make sure localhost resolves? Also, depending on your /etc/resolv.conf, you may have to fully qualify the host's name including the DNS domain. I seem to rember having problems with this, and some combination of using localhost or hostname.domain.edu or using the actual IP address of the host cleared up the problem.

Hopefully a simple question. Does anyone know of .deb or .dsc files for Samba Version 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, or 2.2.7? The only packages available from Debian are: 1. Stable - Samba 2.2.3 2. Testing - Samba 2.2.3 3. Unstable - Samba 30alpha20-4 I've looked on the debian website and in google with no luck. Any help much appreciated? IRV

Hello, I'm migrating from Windows 2003 Active Directory to a Samba 3 PDC and would like to avoid recreating passwords for all of my users. Is it possible to copy the Windows user accounts or just the passwords from the Windows box to Samba? I've read about the pwdump.exe tool, but can't find any reports of it working on Windows 2003 and am not sure if Active Directory stores

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up a test network to test samba as a DC with the acct information stored in LDAP (2.2.3a). The ultimate goal is to replace the nt4 (P,B)DC we have on the network now with a samba DC. I have read about the uid gid scheme of uid *2+1000 = rid but I am a little confused. If I use pwdump to dump the existing sam database I get numbers like 1036 for the

Is there anyone on the list that has been able to get Win2k SP3 working with the 3.0 alpha version? I'm able to join but I can NOT log in. I can see the machine account listed in pass.tdb (using pdbedit -l) and it is also in passwd & shadow. I HAVE ALSO APPLIED THE SIGN OR SEAL PATCH. The message I get is: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

Sorry for all the newbie questions... I could have sworn I saw something about a utility that exports the SAM database from NT into Linux.. seems like it is the lego syndrome, saw it while doing WINBIND searches, can't find it elsewise...anyway...could someone point me in the right direction? I want to export my users from NT to linux with passwords....if that is impossible, I also have all

Hi Haven't seen any responses to my earlier post (Transferring PDC duties to Samba) so here's a slightly different approach I'm trying which someone can hopefully shed some light on. Is it possible to transfer domain-specific data from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.2 server, switch off the NT4 machine, set up smb.conf, switch on the Samba box such that the attached NT4/Win2000

Hi, Is there a way in which i can run pwdump on Linux (without dosemu or wine). I have a cron job on NT which runs rdist /S to generate the Sam backup in the Repair folder. I Then copy this file to Linux. I need to run pwdump now and get the userid's. I also need to extract the group information. I dont think pwdump extracts that. Is there some way i can get this info too. The reason for

Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4.
