Hi! I am trying to migrate to a new server, with a shiny-new installation of RedHat 9. I have downloaded the 3.0alpha23 rpm intended for RedHat 8.0... I am also using the stock RedHat 9 version of OpenLDAP. By itself, LDAP is working fine: this is how I log onto my Linux boxes. I am including one sample user (me) below, which I extracted using "ldapsearch -x". Great - this is

Hello All, I am trying to setup Samba PDC with LDAP. I installed samba-2.2.8a and openldap-2.1.19. I am using smbldap-tool that bundles with samba-2.2.8a source, for adding user, group and computer name. I was able to add username in ldap using smbldap-useradd.pl, but i find problem in adding machine name. When i try to add machine name i got following error ./smbldap-useradd.pl -w test$

Xcuse me for stupid questions... but why almost all of U are usiing samba+ldap+kerberos, is it better than default authentication method? And could anyone assist me in tunning this mad thing up? I don't ever now what they (LDAP and Krb) are used for. Maybe U would be so kind to give me some advices considering this topic or some url's where i can find same topics disscussions. Thanks for

Can anyone point me to some documentation on setting up Irix to authenticate against an NT domain with winbind? I've got winbind setup so that wbinfo -u will return the domain users, however Irix does not use pam. Any way around this? Thanks

I finally got Samba-3.0beta1 as PDC with LDAP backend. However, I need to specify: passdb backend = ldapsam smbpasswd:smbpasswd guest and have the root account's exists in smbpasswd file. I still could not get a uid=root entry in LDAP to allow client workstation to join the domain. When in samba-2.2.8a I could use a fake rid=506 with uidNumber=0 entry in LDAP (as a SambaAccount) and it

Now that I have Samba all set up and working well with all the machines I have - some linux, some Win98, some WinXP , what more can I do with Samba than just allow access to each of these machines. Right now I can sit at any machine and access any others. I can move files around I can play music files from any machine and I can print on any Printer that is in the network. What more can I

Hi there: We have recently inherited a circa 1996 SGI Indy Colorbus Cyclone running on Irix. Our intention is to use this unit to drive our Canon CLC900 Scanner Copier and make it accessible to our Windows Network. At the moment, our Windows Network does not "see" the Cyclone & vice versa. I have read that installing some kind of Windows Samba client onto our windows

Hi, all: To recap: I can successfully get my WinXP box to join the domain (WHITEROCK), but after rebooting, when I try to log on: "The system cannot log you on now because the domain WHITEROCK is not available." I get this even when using the user 'root' - and this user was the one to successfully join the domain WHITEROCK!! To rule out any stale junk, my WinXP is a

Hi, I setup a samba 3.0alpha24-1 as PDC (simple with smbpasswd without LDAP:-( ). With Windows 2000 everything works fine (server profiles, mapping the home directory of the users as Z:/ etc.) But :-( Windows XP I could join the domain (without any trouble). But I could not login as a user. Windows XP returns domain is not accessible (die domain ist nicht verf?gbar). But when I login to the

Hi, all: The Situation ============= I have a WinXP box (yup, sign-or-seal registry patch applied), and I can initially join it to my domain. It then prompts me to reboot, for the changes to take effect. So I do. After the reboot, I cannot log onto the domain (using users which are held in LDAP, and who can do console- and ssh-logins fine). The error-message says something to the effect

Hi I plan to set up a big file server, something like motherboard with 4 ide ports and an additional 4 ide daughter card, a PIV proc and 512 or 1024 MB ram, a 100 or 1000 MB NIC, with 6 or 7 200 GB ide HDDs in a sigle box. I don't need lightning performance, just disk space. Of course this would be served by some linux os and samba questions (relative to samba configuration and behaviour) :

Good morning everyone, Does anyone know of a way for Samba, or Linux, to send a notification to Windows users, as they log in, that there password has or is expiring in a certain number of days? I've thought about sending a network broadcast using Samba, but I have no idea how to do it automatically, based on a 60 day password life and X number of days warning before it expiring. Right now,

Hello , the described bellow happens both in samba 2.2.7a and 3.0-alfa22. First bug: As it is easy to check smbd , when asked about ACL entry of a file never sends to the client OS DENY Access Control Entries , only ALLOW. so for example for a XFS file with acl: # owner: a user::r-- group::rwx other::rwx Win2K security tab shows for user "a": Read & exec =

Hi, I'm fairly new to both linux and samba. I'm running RH8 with Samba 2.2.7a. Samba's installed and is basically working, but can anyone tell me how I can get samba to start when linux boots up? I'm currently having to start it by running the following commands; ./usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D ./usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D I've got the Using samba book from o'reilly, but

Gordon, I did as you suggested, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion However, this is contrary to the given docs on how to use CUPS with Samba, is it not?

I lost my Samba machine to a bad disk a few weeks ago, and I had to start from scratch. It was a small home machine and I didn't have backups. However, I make use of profiles and the Win2000 machine is now all screwed up -- it attempts to make new profiles for some users, with some success. If I try to set the permissions on the local Win2k machine to allow control by the user it belongs to on

Hello All! I am trying to follow the instructions to store Samba's Uer/Machine Account information in an LDAP Directory (Samba-LDAP-HOWTO.html). Is there anyone knowing how to run this Perl script: "import_smbpasswd.pl" in examples/LDAP directory? I don't know Perl. :( In addition, is there more information/tutorial of LDAP available on line? Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm setting up Samba 3.0.2a & ldapsam in my home lab and everythin appears to be working correctly except for profiles.
