Hello, I've been Googling and O'Reillying around this problem for the last week without success, so I'm either stupid or it's not possible. My money's still on stupid. Can someone confirm that I can't do what I want to do: - Have a SuSE 9.1 Linux box running Samba 3.0 exporting shares by SMB. - Have users log into Windows boxes running a NetWare client,

Hi, is anybody out there who is using Novell Edir. with samba? I have searched the archive and found some random notes but no real success story. Here is what I have achived so far. Maybe someone can give me some hints. I have tried the samba-nds.schema that comes with the 2.2.7a tar ball. While I was able to import/add it to EDir. it did not work for me, because the "lmPassword"

I've got problem with Samba3 when I want to connect to eDirectory. The samba could not connect to the local eDirectory server. The Samba and the eDir can be found on the same Linux box which is a SusSe 9.1. The eDir and the Samba are working pretty good but cant see each other. Is it possible to connect from Samba 3 to Novell's eDirectory ? What are the syntaxes to these lines in smb.conf:

Hi, i have a succesfully PDC Setup on a Novell/Suse OES1 SP2 Server with eDirectory/LDAP and Samba Version 3.0.26a-0.7-1616-SUSE-SLES9. Only Problem is, a User with a blank Password can't be authenticated on a Domain Member Server (Users with Passwords doesn't have this Problem).

Hello, Can Samba join an eDirectory or a domain controlled by a NDS ? Acyualy, my need is to do SSO for IE with Squid, using the NTLM protocol. I know it uses Samba for domains controlled by an Active Directory. Does anybody know if it is possible with an eDirectory. Thx for any answer or advice.

Hi Ronnie, if your printer do work, this message is useless for you, trash it. I cannot confirm Tim's hypothesis, but i can say i presently have the same problem as you: in the printers folder there's that red message alerting me. My PC is running Win2K pro. I did not mind it, right-clicked on the printer's icon (my specific case is: lpq@router.x.y) and chose 'connect...'

Hi, I am planning a Samba3+LDAP installation and was wondering about the use of putting users into different containers on the LDAP server (similar to what people do on NDS/eDirectory). Is it possible to then assign rights, options, ... to the containers and have the users inherit these rights ? I observed that e.g. SuSE Enterprise server and other SuSE products put all users in the same

Essentially, at this point my head is about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is

Can netware logins and password authenticate to samba shares? If so is it scalable? We have a about 50000 netware users. How do you set it up. Thanks Greg Turnbull

So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself =D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirectory

I'm having a problem adding a password to users. I get "NDS error: no additional information available (-306) when I use smbpasswd. Also I can see in ndstrace that the search string is (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=WORKGROUP/test)) and not (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=test)). I have "ldap fileter = (&(cn=%u)(objectClass=sambaAccount)) in my smb.conf. Another

Hello, Has anyone run Hula Server (http://www.hula-project.org) and Samba on the same server and got the user authentication to sync? I imagine this would involve configuring Samba to use eDirectory (Novell) which Hula is using for store. I have searched everywhere for documentation referencing Hula and Samba integration/authentication but only found one article announcing that Novell has

Hi all, I do have a question to Andrews statement... https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2013-January/171054.html > You might be able to instead upgrade your Novell domain into Samba 4.0's > AD DC, if it currently backs a Samba 3.x 'classic' domain (or can be > made to), [...] I'm a little confused. I am probably able to run a Samba3 acting as a PDC with my eDir users

Aren't Friday's wonderful! I've just been hit up with a request from management to install Samba on our Solaris 8 UNIX servers to share out information to the windows PC's. This wouldn't be an issue if the backend was Windows AD but in our case it's eDirectory. The shares also need to be seamlessly accessible to eDirectory based groups/users without interfering with the

Hello, We have a RHEL 4 Update 4 server that was configured to store its Samba passwords in eDirectory via LDAP. This was accomplished by adding the following three lines to the [Global] section of smb.conf: ldap admin dn = cn=admin,o=budget ldap suffix = o=budget passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://SERVER_NAME:636 After adding the lines and saving the file the admin password is stored using

Hi List, We have a large (6500 desktops) network distributed over a few dozen sites. The clients are (almost) all Windows95 and WinXP. We currently use Netware as our network operating system, and are looking at the possibility of moving to (Samba on) Linux to provide file and print services. One of the nice things about Novell NDS is that you can specify printers that are available to

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

I'm having problems when I restart the smb server with it not coming back up. As near as I can tell it's actually NMBD that's having the issue. I'm running RedHat 9.0 on a Compaq ML-370 with Dual 1.2GHz P3s and I just upgraded Samba to 2.2.8a-1 after having this same problem with 2.2.7a When I issue: #service smb restart It says that it shut down and restarted ok, but then nobody
