similar to: Samba 2.2.5 + OpenLDAP 2.x - Caveats?

hi, until now (about 1 year ago) i was working only with samba3+ldap PDC, but in near future my company enlarge his network with 6 new branchs spreaded all oever the country and i must build a scalable network with Samba-3 PDCs and BDCs, implement LDAP replication and multiple LDAP backends, all this over some VPNs(ipsec) . so, can tell me anyone how work the relationship beetwen a samba3-ldap

I was wondering what the best practice is for setting up several SAMBA servers in a SAMBA domain all on the same LAN. Here is what I am looking at PDC: LDAP, Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member1: Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member2: Samba, nss_ldap, pam_ldap Member . . . . Should I set the member servers up with: Security = domain and join the severs with net rpc join or, whould it be better to set

Hi, My doubt is about Idmap + LDAP + winbind, related do BDC + PDC. We are using Samba 3.0.33 (Slackware 12.0.0). Our layout is almost like this one http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/images/chap6-net.png, but we have more BLDGn than this example. Actually, we are taking ideas from http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html and from

People, I have one PDC and a BDC on the matrix side and two BDCs on the branch office. I don't know if it is a problem. Anybody could help me? PDC # net rpc testjoin get_schannel_session_key: could not fetch trust account password for domain 'DOMAIN_NAME' net_rpc_join_ok: failed to get schannel session key from server PDC for domain DOMAIN_NAME. Error was

Hi people: I've been using Samba for a long time with some "basic" features like Samba working as a PDC, integrated with OpenLDAP, being a print server, among others, for a small number of "almost controlled" users (no more than 30 or 50 users). But now I'm interested to implement a Windows domain using Samba for a University with 6000-8000 users distributed through

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

I'm trying to decommission our PDC which is running on some older hardware and migrate it's functionality to one of our two currently operating BDCs for the domain. The three servers have nearly identical configurations with only differences in file and printer shares and a couple attributes like "wins support" and "domain master". They all have identical netlogon

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

Hi, i never post in this list before becouse all the developers did a great job before, but now i have a problem. I used samba 3.0.x for a long time without any problem with openldap as passwd backend, now with samba 3.0.12 there are stange message when i try to change account's passwd: # smbpasswd Administrator New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

Dear All, Please help me in this regards, Howto Backup Domain Controller (BDC) or Secondary domain controller for the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) in Centos 5.6 Openldap+samba 3.3 Please give the step by step. Regards kamal

I have a problem with machine trust accounts breaking in a purely Samba controlled domain. I have one master Samba server acting as a PDC, and three slave servers in different networks. The UNIX user account information is updated by means of NIS, and smbpasswd gets rsync'ed to the slave servers whenever there is a change in the file. All this works without problems at all times. When I

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

Hi there, I have a really ugly problem, which, as I know is partially selfmade. But to the problem: I have five servers running samba-2.2.3a-12 (latest Debian Woody release) which are controlled by one master server. All of the five servers act as pdc for an own nt-domain. Now to keep the administrative work as low as possible I have this one master server. Via this server we/our customer

Hi: Can anybody point me to some guidelines about SMB network design or give some advice? Samba HOWTOs are very detailed recipes, but I need some general tips, like if we are serving fish or pasta tonight :-) This is the situation: a WAN with 20 offices with 2 to 30 people in each, plus a headquarter with 50 people, plus the databases and central file servers. The organization grew up on a NT4

Hi! I would like to ask you Samba gurus if it is possible to set up Samba PDC which uses OpenLDAP replica as backend. I had two separate OpenLDAP master servers (2.2.13-4) for two different Samba PDC servers (3.0.14a-2) with TLS support in different virtual networks (VLANs), and all worked fine. However, I decided that it would be nice (from an administrative point of view) to have all

Consider the following scenario: - a single OpenLDAP server, with a single instance of the object class sambaDomain and a single SID: dn: sambaDomainName=myserver,ou=samba,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: sambaDomain sambaDomainName: MYGROUP sambaSID: S-1-2-3 - multiple Samba servers, each with the following configuration: security = user workgroup = MYGROUP Is this a valid

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also
