similar to: Inefficient Winbind behavior?

Hello all, I'm having an issue with Winbind and I'm not sure if it's occurring by design or not. My Samba server resides in a Windows NT domain and uses winbindd to authenticate to a mixed-mode 2003 domain over a trust relationship. Everything works the way it ought to. However, every so often my users experience delays of anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds when connecting to a share,

Thanks for the response, Jerry. Is there a way for me to verify this is happening? Winbindd has been running for a few days now, and I just did a netstat and the only connections to a DC are to the off-site one, the PDC. Thanks.

Hello, I've been trying for a couple of weeks now to get Samba to authenticate via Winbind to an NT domain. I've scoured Google and the mailing lists to no avail. I've tried various configurations that I've found during my searches, but none of them have worked for me. I need to be able to authenticate users, that do not have an account on the Linux box, against the NT domain,

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 all! This is a repost to this list, hoping to draw some extra attention because I got NO reply whatsoever to the original posting :( I would really appreciate if someone could comment om which of both strategies as described below is best. I am having some trouble with a samba domain distributed over 2 subnets (192.168.0.0/23 (supernetted) & 192.168.4.0/24). These subnets are

Hi all, I have this question, I ve got a master LDAP server on a remote place and i want to install a PDC and a BDC and a slave ldap server in other place. Mi question is... may I force de WorkStations logging (read the information )against the BDC first than PDC, so the READ trafic goes to the Slave Ldap??? The problem is the network avoid READ traffic. In the Samba FAQ recomends that the:

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

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

Hello, I just configured Samba 3 PDC + LDAP. The aim is to have a Samba 3 PDC + LDAP in each branch office; and there should be one user/password database. There are about 20 branch offices in different locations and users travel a lot between them with laptops. Each branch office has a below configuration: - Samba 3 PDC - slave OpenLDAP server There is also one central user/password

Hello, Our company is trying to implement central Windows Domain at HQ and replicated across all its regional offices. The implementation will have a PDC/LDAP-master on HQ and BDC/LDAP-slave on each regional office. In the hopes of saving bandwidth we are trying to avoid the use of WINS between WAN links. Is there any way of not using WINS and still have the clients find the PDC (for updating

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

OS / Software: PDC / Master LDAP store: - Redhat 9 - OpenLDAP 2.1.25 - Samba 3.0.0 BDC / Slave LDAP store: - Redat 9 - OpenLDAP 2.0.27-8 - Samba 3.0.2 >From the Samba HOWTO Collection on www.samba.org: (Backup Domain Control) "Can I Do This All with LDAP? The simple answer is yes. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow

I notice that in the LDAP the profiles are store in a network share. Is it possible to use a different samba server not setup as a PDC/BDC to share these profile. for an example maybe setup a little samba box on a remote site, that stores profiles and home dirs, but still auth against the PDC. wouldnt that help keep network traffic on the WAN down?

Hi, I'd like to know if any of you have ever implemented Samba 3 with OpenLDAP multimaster (using syncrepl, maybe) or Fedora-DS. The basic idea would be: - WAN link dies, the remote office's BDC would promote itself to PDC (using some kind of monitoring script), and will start accepting changes to the user base. Also, some change to the local WINS server would be necessary. - WAN link

Hi, I have successfully installed and configured Samba 3.0.2 PDC & BDC / ldap master & slave servers in local network. Then I moved BDC to another site (with WAN connectivity). Now I discovered that workstations on this site (with BDC) are not able to join domain. After some investigations (also tcpdump) I found out that problem is that BDC don't reply to NBNS requests for name

hi@all! i have a samba server with ldap as pdc. everything works fine and now i'm testing samba as bdc. i copied the smb.conf from the pdc to the bdc and changed the domain master = yes to no! then i stopped the smb service on the pdc and tried to login on an winxp machine and this also worked (the log file show me that the login is on the bdc)! is it possible that the users can change

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to implement a samba domain in a number of remote offices around the world with partly bad and often interrupted WAN connections/VPNs. The goal is to administer the directory from the central data center. My obvious choice would be to set up a central server with SAMBA+OpenLDAP+smbldap-tools and in each remote office a SAMBA server with OpenLDAP as a

How to configure smb.conf of a samba BDC server to allow that all changes (user's passwords changing, joining computers) was written to local LDAP. I?ve set remotes LDAP's (BDCs) with multimaster configuration via syncrepl. LDAP Multimaster feature works fine (N-way replication works perfectly) I need this configuration to void errors when a user must to change his/her password in a
