similar to: Samba PDC LDAP

I am updateding my LDAP presentation (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf) to include a section on the Samba 2.2.x LDAP backend. But I can't find any definititive documentation on the "time" attributes: pwdLastChange, pwdMustChange. Either how the time is encoded or exactly what they mean. I've seen post saying they are hexidecimal (although they don't look it)

hi, i've configured samba-2.2.5 and openldap2-2.1.4 with the help of the howto avaible at idealx. I can add users / delete them - login in pver ssh - get the right groups and id's... - nearly everything works. But when i try to login with a W2K Workstation (havn't tested other OS'es) then i can type in the username/password - then it takes about 5 minutes (you can still see the

using samba with --enable-ldapsam... When changing a user's password with sampasswd 'username', I get this error: failed to modify user with uid = bnelson with: Insufficient access Insufficient 'write' privilege to the 'uid' attribute of entry 'uid=bnelson,ou=People [...]'. Looking at a snoop of the network, it seems like smbpasswd is trying

Hi all, I've tried searching all over the net for any information about this error but can't seem to find any. I've compiled Samba 2.2.8a on a RH Linux 7.3 box (kernel 2.4.18-3) with lsapsam support against openldap 2.0.23-4. I'm also using pam_ldap such that all authentication (unix + samba/windows) is done through LDAP, which is working quite nicely. However, none of my NT

Well I am glad that there has been alot of input on this topic, alot of people are having different opinions but that is because we are not focusing with the problem at hand. The documentation provides full details on how to get samba + ldap working from scratch; but there seems to be a gap between chapter 5 & 6; Once again I will say I love this book; by far the best technical reference

Dear Samba & Users. I have spent some time going over the documentation, however I still no not fully understand what the cause is. I am focusing on Samba 3 by Example chapter 5 & 6 specifically Chapter 5 smbpasswd -w 123456 [root@node1 data]# smbpasswd -w 123456 Setting stored password for "cn=Manager,dc=ddesign,dc=com" in secrets.tdb Chapter 6 indicates in the smb.conf to

Hello All, I am currently having an issue with my samba PDC. I have recently updated to 3.6.5 Samba, and have made what i believe to be the correct changes in my config to account for the changes to the idmap system. My setup is as follows, SAMBA PDC on RHEL 6.2, which authenticates passwords through Kerberos, and Deals with user profiles via LDAP. I had about 25 Windows clients which were able

I am trying to create a Samba Admin account in FDS as per the final steps of http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba I've asked about this on the FDS mailing list with no luck, I am hoping someone here will be able to help me. I've created a file with contents: Administrator:x:0:0:Samba Admin:/root:/bin/bash I then ran: /usr/share/openldap/migration/migrate_passwd.pl

This is my first attempt at creating a samba pdc. I am receiving the following error when I try joining the samba pdc. The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "MAGABOOKS.ORG": The network path was not found. I am using SuSE 11.0 with: samba-3.2.3-0.1 smbldap-tools 0.9.5-1 openldap-2.4.9-7.4 bind-9.4.2-39.2 dhcp-server-3.0.6-86.1 My config files are as follows:

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

Samba 3.0.2a-Debian I have a somewhat working PDC server, but have some difficulties adding more users. I managed to create a user, anna, a couple of days ago, it she works fine from my wireless laptop. To sort out some problems I have with the logon.bat script [see sambalist "Netlogon script executes randomly"], I am also including my desktop computer to the domain. I've run

I am really new to configuring and maintaining samba, and have what I belive should be a quick question. I have recently installed Samba 2.2.2 on a Solaris 8 server. I need to make a directory on the samba server accessable by a small group of people here at work. The users who will be connecting to the samba share do not have accounts on the samba server. The are coming from Windows 2K boxes

Hi :) I hope this isn't just a problem in my understanding, but anyway. I am using `OpenSSH_6.2, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013` on an Arch Linux system, and I got caught out on this error for several days, and I'm not sure if its a bug for you guys or what. Anyway, what I noticed, was that when I specifyied a custom HostKey in the host file or by relative path, that is: `sshd -Dd -f

Hello every body, i am using samba (2.2.8a) with ldap support. In the samba.schema, there are special attributes relatives to the user passord: pwdMustChange, pwdCanChange, kickoffTime, logoffTime, logonTime and pwdLastSet. All the samba's documentations i can found described those attributes as "currently unused", execpt the last one that represent the time modification since 1970.

Hello, I setting up a new PDC for a new domain using samba 3.2.0 I use LDAP as passwd/idmap backend. I started from scratch just creating the OU for the users/groups/machines/idmaps in the ldap directory, + a user used to bind to ldap. So from there I started winbind and ran net sam provision, which worked great. Now I plan this domain will have a one way trust with one other domain, and as I

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs. Everything work very fine when running the scripts in shell mode... but! In smb.conf : ============= add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u This line don't work and it should, because when running

I have a samba server version 2.2.7a-8.9.0 running on RedHat 9.0. It is acting as a domain controller. I have some win2k clients logging in to this domain and mapping home shares, shared drives, etc. The network the servers are on is 1000Mb and the client networks are all 100Mb. The client networks are linked via 1000Mb uplink. The problem I'm having is that when a user copies a fair

Hey all, well, first of all (even if it's quite late as it's in version 3.0.7 already): thanks a lot to all who are developing and supporting Samba! I'm new to Linux and I really like the way things are happening on this OS. But now, I've reached a point where I have to raise the white flag... It seems to me like - at least my - software raid can't dance Samba. I've got

I'm having some kind of trouble mapping all users in an ADS group to a Unix id. I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on Solaris 9 as a member of a Windows 2000 ADS Domain.

Hey, I worked for days on this, and I want to share the solution I stubled across. I got this error message from my wife XP laptop: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found.
