similar to: Samba PDC for Win2k and WinXP Pro

I'm trying to setup a samba PDC/BDC with disconnected auth. and am stuck at step one because I can't get smbldap-tools to work right. First when I do a smbldap-useradd.pl -a test, it works fine. ldapsearch shows the entry properly. Then I try smbldap-usershow.pl or smbldap-userdel.pl or any other one for that matter and they all fail with a "user test does not exist"! Also if I

Real quick I have 1 Windows 2000 Pro machine that can connect to my Samba server just fine.....no problems whatsoever.... I have 5 other machines, all running Windows XP Pro (all have been updated with Microsoft's latest patches, etc.) that cannot even access the Samba server. I have only a Workgroup created, and from each of my XP machines, they all see the Samba server just fine in the

Hi Mathias, I can't speak on Win2k Pro but have recently tested WinXP Pro. Now with XP you will need to use the reg file included with the samba archive (in a sub directory in the docs dir). Once that has been applied (presuming all accounts have already been created on server) you can join the domain and log in no problems. -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Robosson Business Services 22

Hi All- Please tell me if I'm posting to the wrong list. I looked for the list called samba-ntdom (listed at http://us1.samba.org/samba/archives.html) because it seemed a more appropriate forum, but it looks like that list has been dissolved. Has the discussion for that list moved to some other list? Anyway, here's the problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with: I have

Hello guys! I'm using samba 3.2.4 (binaries from samba.org) on SLES9+sp3. I am building a PDC with LDAP support (i am attaching my config files), I'm also using ldapsam:trusted and ldapsam:editposix. Although I am setting the account lock after 3 failed tries in usrmgr, and verified that the parameters are actually set in the LDAP, no locking occurs. I started thinking that it was my

I'm attempting to join a samba server to a Windows 2003 Active Directory on a network I do not control. The admins are working to help me on this, but I am also attempting to be as inobtrusive as possible. To that end, I have set up a Windows PDC and another samba server (with the same configuration) on a private network to do my own testing without having to hassle the Windows admins and ask

Hi, I am trying to setup a Samba PDC with Windows XP Pro Clients. I currently run a Samba 2.2 PDC and am trying to change over to a Samba 3.0.5 PDC with an LDAP backend. I can join the domain fine, but from there things are getting rough. The Samba server is running on a Fedora Core 2 box with all the current updates and all my clients are XP Pro. As soon as I logon (with any account), I get

Sorry this is so long, but I think it is all relevant. I also have an output from pdbedit with log level 10 if needed. First, the latest problem I have noticed. When I create a new directory on the server, samba creates the files properly and gives them the proper permissions on the server, but when I look at the file security properties (Right click,Properties, Security Tab) I don't get the

Hi I have a PDC server version samba-3.2.8-0.27.fc10.i386.rpm serving mostly Win98 machines after adding the following two lines managed to get it working with authentication and logon.bat scripts. /etc/samba/smb.conf lanman auth = Yes ntlm auth = No Now I want to add some XPPro machines but they can no not see server shares any more ( used to work on Fedora 5 server ) I

Hi All, IE6 pre-installed in Windows XP. Mandrake 10 running WINE version 20041019. Tried to run IE, and came up with the following errors: [julian@natalie Internet Explorer]$ wine iexplore.exe fixme:shell:StopWatchMode () stub! fixme:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException call to unimplemented function shdocvw.dll.IEWinMain fixme:shell:MLGetUILanguage () stub fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub wine:

I have Samba running on my web server (it's not a major file server or anything) so that I can access files on it from my local network. Mainly things like I can view my webalizer pages thru a local machine, or to copy files over for installation. Anyway - every 2-3 hours, I 'lose' the connection and have to reboot the WinXP machine (yeh, I know - 'Rule #1 of Microsoft - When in

hi, what I have: a SuSE 8.0 pro, running samba 2.2.3a as a PDC two WinXP pro boxes, both with that 'requiresignorseal' registry patch applied, lets call them a and b. what happens is this: a is a happy domain member. everything's yummy. b joins the domain, reboots. on login attempt, b says 'domain not available' now, login on box a. a says: 'domain not available'...

Hey, I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if a solution is in the archive, this is rather a semi-urgent request. We have a PDC (Samba 2.2.5) mostly with Win98 clients, a few XP clients. We can join these to the domain thanks to the registry patch, however, sometimes (it's random, or appears to be), we login a user who HASN'T previously logged into the XP system before and it

Set-up Mandrake 8.2 Samba 2.2.3 Problem description When changing the password of an existing user or adding a new user they can not logon from a WinXP Pro machine. Existing users can logon OK from WinXP Pro and Win98. New users, and those with password changed, can logon from a Win98 machine (smbclient \\\\server_name\\share_name -U user_name works OK). I have started an stopped samba but it

Good day everyone and sorry to add to the traffic with one more (possibly stupid) question. I have the following problem which I could reproduce with both Samba 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 and with about 5 clients. I install WindowxXP Pro (w/SP1), I modify "RequireSignOrSeal=0", I join the domain (using a 'root' account that is present in smbpasswd and whose password I know) -- and

I'm sorry to repost this one but it seemed to get no attention the first time it was posted ... here it goes, again: Good day everyone and sorry to add to the traffic with one more (possibly stupid) question. I have the following problem which I could reproduce with both Samba 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 and with about 5 Microsoft clients. I've installed WindowxXP Pro (w/SP1), I modified

Hi! Questions. 1) Do I have to upgrade to Samba 3.x to support winXP pro clients (NO PDC) 2) What are the complications of adding WinXP pro clients to an existing win95/samba 2.2.x network 3) IF i have to upgrade to Samba 3.x, is it easy, or do I have to plan to do a bit or a lot of work. -- background -- I am looking for the easier/quickest way to do this. the boss man is happy with the

Hi everyone, sorry if this is already written somewhere: Is it at all possible to connect a Windows XP (professional ed.) client to a Samba server running 2.2.3? I got this far: After logging into the client locally I can mount the server shares by hand, but the domain logon fails, saying 'The domain controller is not 'availabe' (or similar, this is translated from the german error

Having the same behaviour with 2.2.1 and 2.2.1 patched, even if R Cmdr is not loaded. It does not appear to be strictly a data import problem. For me the issue appears when trying to open any scripts, although not always. For example, last week it occurred only a couple of times (had R running more or less 24/7), yesterday at least 10 times. The computer is Dell D610, graphics card Ati Mobility

Hi We're currently experiencing some problems that wasn't a problem in 3.0.4. Since SP2 was installed printers get connected \\<ipaddress>\<printer-name> instead of \\<netbios-name>\<printer-name>. It's more common on SP2 machines but it happens on non-SP2 machines. Although these issues are not consistent. Which some windows applications seems to have a
