similar to: Samba + LDAP + FreeBSD + a HOWTO

Hi there. This is my first post to this list, I hope I can help you in the future. By now, I'm the one who needs help :) I've been trying to configure a Fedora Core 4 box to use samba + LDAP. I followed instructions of http://www.idealx.org/prj/samba/smbldap-howto.en.html but it seems like I'm having problems on the pam_ldap layer: when I go to step 4.5

Hi all, I am playing with a test box at the moment running a Samba 2.2.7a domain on FreeBSD 5.0. I wish to enable ACLs, but I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to expect once they are enabled. I have created a UFS2 partition and enabled ACL support using tunefs. Since doing that, I have been able to connect to the Samba shares and modify ACLs, but so far the only things I have been able to

Due to FreeBSD not allowing '$' in usernames, and because I have to add a machine account for each computer I add to my Samba domain, what can I do to try and accomplish the following? 1. Automate FreeBSD to allow me to add machines to a domain the same way Windows lets you do it from the workstation. 2. Add user accounts which incorporate '$' without having to create a

I have a solaris 9 box that I am configuring to be a PDC using the latest version of samba authenticating off of an Openldap db. This machine uses the same ldap server to authenticate the unix users but after following documentation for setting up samba/ldap PDC. Using smbldap-populate populated the database with no problems but when I try and run smblclient -L master I get the following

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

In Samba 2.2.7a, 'password expire time' appears to be being ignored. When I run 'smbstatus' it says: Unknown parameter encountered: "password expire time" Ignoring unknown parameter "password expire time" What should I be using to force a password change every n days?

What should a configuration look like for Red Hat 7.3 when authenticating users against Winbind, for a telnet session? I have done the following so far: Installed Samba Joined the system to the domain Loaded Winbind Edited /etc/pam.d/login #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required

Hi all, another French guy learning, don't bash me too hard... ;-) In fact, I'm in need of a confirmation : I'm on the way to create a Samba3+LDAP (new schemas) PDC server (no migration from NT4 nor 2K, only from an old Samba 2.0 with security=user using /etc/passwd, ie. no encrypt password). This Samba3 should be hosted on a FreeBSD 4.8 (ie. pam_ldap can work, I tested it today, but

Hey, I just got done setting up a Samba+LDAP PDC using the idealx tools on my fedora core 1 machine. I have created a user named 'testuser1' :uid=1000(testuser1) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users). As 'testuser1' logs on WIN98 client, it is authenticating 'testuser1' as a 'nobody':(uid=99, gid=99) (pid 19880) As I try to join the domain from XP pro

Goal: Have Samba operate as a PDC using LDAP as its passwd backend. Be able to have W2K servers as member servers. Note: I have not posted any .conf files, because I not sure what files would be relavent in seeing. Since somethings are working and somethings are not. Software list: Samba 3.0.12 nss_ldap-1.204_5 openldap-client-2.2.19 openldap-server-2.2.23 p5-perl-ldap-0.32.02 pam_ldap-1.7.6

Hi, I found your posting below... I am in a very similar situation and just want to understand what this means a little better. I have compiled openldap and samba on a netbsd box... Not sure if your aware, but nsswitch on netbsd is not modular, and ldap is not an option for the name service backend. (freebsd and linux are not options since its not an x86 box I'm using) Anyway, my ldap

I'm having trouble setting up samba as a PDC on an apple xserve, using yellowdog linux 4.0. After a lot of thrashing, I believe the problem may be smbpasswd generating the wrong NT hash. Running smbpasswd on a redhat box (intel architecture) produces the follow LDAP entry: dn: uid=testuser2,ou=Users,dc=allstate,dc=network objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount

Ok, I've been literally throwing things in my effort to fix this. Please help me from damaging something valueable! :) I've installed Samba 3.0.22 and OpenLDAP etc. I've used the IDEALX scripts to create the LDAP tree etc. Everything goes swimmingly until I try to check and see if NSS/PAM is working right. I use the following command as shown in SBE to check NSS/PAM working. getent

Hello, I'm trying to configure Samba to work with SuSE 9.1. I followed The Linux Samba-OpenLDAP Howto (Revision: 1.6 ) from http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html - but I'm stuck - in SuSE there is no /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Should I just add this file (I doubt it), or put these values into another files (which ones)? auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so auth

Every time I try to add a pc to the domain I get the response that it is an un-recognized user name. I have followed the instructions located here: http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html and am setting it up on a copy of Fedora Core 4 using the default installed packages and versions. I am also unable to complete step 4.5 in the guide to test out the setup because it gives me the

Again, another confusing issue in two how-to's I'm trying to resolve. In the SBE (samba-3 by example) Pg 161 in the PDF states. (It's actually page 200 of the PDF, but 161 of the numbered document pages.) "The name service caching daemon (nscd) is a primary cause of difficulties with name resolution, particularly where winbind is used." But the Authconfig in the IDEALX

Hi, I have searched all over and I am at a deep loss. I have Openldap setup and it works fine holding users and is searchable, etc. I have samba setup to auth via LDAP and it works. I can NOT for the life of me get system password stuff to work. The strange thing is, that my "testuser" can telnet to the computer and login and can login with samba fine. I can not ssh into the

I keep getting the following errors when I try to log on to my domain or access a share (some how I have no clue I was able to get one computer to access the samba domain). It is a standalone PDC, ldap on the same computer. This problem has been killing me for about a week, any help would be greatly appreciated I'm running samba 3.0.9 on redhat 9 stock ldap server that comes with redhat

Hi All, Hope someone here can help me ? *See end for background and system information... I'm looking for advice or links to clear documentation on the use and configuration of "net vampire" and it's ability to download PDC accounts with passwords intact. I have successfully used "net vampire" to synchronize my Samba BDC -- with my companies PDC. I've switched

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password
