similar to: Add User Confusion With 3.0 + LDAP

Essentially, at this point my head is about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is

Hi there, I'm the process of centralizing user authentication for a medium-sized network with a few Linux servers, some of them runnng samba. The idea is migrating all user definitions from both /etc/{passwd,shadow,groups} and samba tdb to a central LDAP directory. Most servers had the same set of users, but as each one was administered in isolation (no NIS not all samba servers were part of

Hello, I have installed / configured samba-ldap (compiled SAMBA_2_2 from CVS) Whe i try to change the password for the root user, there is no problem. If i try to change the password of an ordinary user, i get the error: nas:~# smbpasswd -U william New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: No user to modify! Password changed for user william. Failed to modify entry for user william. Failed to

I've compiled samba with the --with-ldapsam option and have setup up an ldap server. When I try to change the password of a user, say Administrator, get the following stuff with full debugging turned on (-D 255): New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: ldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server ldap_search_one_user: searching

Hi, is anybody out there who is using Novell Edir. with samba? I have searched the archive and found some random notes but no real success story. Here is what I have achived so far. Maybe someone can give me some hints. I have tried the samba-nds.schema that comes with the 2.2.7a tar ball. While I was able to import/add it to EDir. it did not work for me, because the "lmPassword"

Hello, I am in the process of migrating to passdb backend = ldapsam on debian unstable with the latest 3.0pre samba package. All users have a ldap sambaAccount object which was added by hand after using migrationtools from padl.com. Testing auth with smbclient works fine, however when using samba as a PDC from WinXP I can't log into the domain as I used to when "passdb backend =

I'm trying to get Samba on a Mac OS X box running as a PDC with an LDAP backend. I've read through all of the major walkthroughs I can find, and we've actually already got it running very nicely as a file server; people are currently authenticating against a different PDC and then mapping drives from the Samba box in question. However, I'd like it to be the PDC eventually, but

Hello, I am doing a samba pdc with ldap. When I try to login to the domain, or access some shares I get this in my ldap logs: Mar 7 16:46:16 localhost slapd[3588]: conn=25 op=4 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=test,dc=org" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=DOMAIN\5CTD))" Mar 7 16:46:16 localhost slapd[3588]: conn=25 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 text= My

Problem number one: ------------------- I'm running a few-hours-old CVS version of Samba 3.0 with LDAP as the authentication backend, and I'm having some problems trying to set up the LDAP accounts using "smbpasswd". I build the structure of the LDAP database by importing a couple of LDIF's, and then I import the following user account to create an administrative account

I have successfully joined the XP machine to the domain. The strange part is, that it only wanted to be joined if it connected to the PDC and not the BDC. The way it is set-up is that the XP machine and a BDC is in one branch and the PDC is in another. Every time I would try to connect via the BDC, it would return a value ACCESS DENIED I stopped the smb service on the BDC, and got it to

Hi, It seems that the user account must also be in the /etc/passwd when I autentication in Ldap/samba. I have in my Ldap database the Posixaccount. My samba log file: [2004/03/18 07:22:56, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(674) init_sam_from_ldap: User [marcone] does not ave a uid!

Hi, I'm trying to run samba 2.2.6 + OpenLDAP as user/group database ( not /etc/passwd). nss_ldap+pam_ldap is installed and working OK, as I can login using ssh, or trough console with one of ldap user. But trying to connect to samba, when samba is ran as #samba -d 2 -i I get: ... init_sam_from_ldap: User [ldapuser] does not ave a uid! pass_check_smb failed - invalid password for user

How do you add an "Administrator" account to ldap. I want to leave root in /etc/passwd but have "Administrator" in ldap I have checked Howto Collection and the Samba-Ldap-3 but they contain no information. The Ldap-Howto has a suggestion but then says not to use. Godfrey

We use samba as a domain controller and file server for small separate network environments. We've currently got samba configured to get posixAccount and sambaAccount information from ldap -- and have nss_ldap configured to feed the same posixaccount objects into the posix user account apis via nsswitch.conf (getpwent etc...). In our environments we seem to regularly run into problems which

Hello, I did not have any response of my first mail.

I'm having a problem adding a password to users. I get "NDS error: no additional information available (-306) when I use smbpasswd.

hi, I've a problem with adding workstations to my samba/ldap pdc - if i add the workstation with win2000 to the pdc then the workstation gets registered in ldap with the following entry: (i am using smbldap-useradd.pl -w -d /dev/null -g computers -c 'Computer Account' -s /bin/false %u) which seems to me to be ok, but the workstation tells me that it couldn't get attached to the

Hello, First, excuse me if this messages is not in the right mailing list: I have not found a samba-ldap forum.

Hello everybody, I'm asking myself a rather simple issue (i hope it hasn't already be explained somewhere). I'm using ldapsam_compat on 3.0.1pre3(+Debian patches & smbldap-tools 0.8.1) to store both user accounts and machine accounts. It works just fine, but there still is something that i find quite odd. My smb.conf contains: add machine script =
