After trying to get WinXP (Pro) to try and find my domain so I can log on I've finally done it, but now when I try and join my WinXP client to the domain, windows asks me to enter the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Now which account would this be?? root doesn't work, neither do my other samba users. Do I have to create another user or something?

Hi everyone! I've already deployed samba-2.2.7a-2 and enabled openLDAP support. I now have a machine configured as a domain controller authenticating all windows users via openLDAP. openLDAP is also authenticating all of our linux users. I would like to install Exchange2000 on a windows2000 machine so our windows users can do calendaring (sendmail already handles all of our email needs).

My understanding is that if Samba receives the password encrypted, it has no choice but to use a local smbpasswd (and

Hi there, Sorry to possibly rehash stuff that's already been answered, I'm new to the list. I've recently installed 3.0alpha23-0 because of it's superior group mapping (over 2.2). I'm running a PDC on Debian Woody. I'm also using the tdb backend as ldap is too big a bite to chew for me for now. Things are working well for basic shares, but I want to get into setting

I have read over the lists and search the web, I know this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to fix my problem so I'll ask here.

Hi- I'musing the smbldap tools to create ldap entries for user logins through samba. I was just wondering if anyone knew what format userPassword is stored in. Is it an md5 hash?

FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

Hello, I am seriously considering switching over my authentication system from the standard passwd/smbpasswd, to a LDAP-based system, that can authenticate *BOTH* UNIX and Windows systems and users. Here's a couple questions that I have, and I would greatly appreciate some answers. ;-) Will the schema file used by Samba also support UNIX users attempting to authenticate? In other words, can
