Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Hi, I've been searching through the list archives on marc.theaimsgroup.com, and haven't found many suggestions relating to this problem. What's happening, is that maybe 5 out of 100 network logons the logon script does not execute, and none of my drives are mapped. This happens on both NT 4.0 Workstations as well as Windows 2000. It's been happening as long as I can remember

Hi all, I use tdbsam backend. When I create a box for win2k machine: # pdbedit -a -m -u machine$ tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (machine$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) What is wrong? Other failer message: Unable to open TDB rid database! Regards, Roland

Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

Hello, Everything I've tested so far regarding my Samba 3.0.0 beta 1 installation works great, despite the following error: Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so" This error comes up when I run any of the Samba binaries, such as smbpasswd, pdbedit, etc... also it shows up in log.smbd, log.nmbd when

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

Hi, I'm trying to test Samba 3.0.0 beta 1, and so far, one problem I have spent the last couple hours trying to solve, is a problem I am having joining the domain with an NT4 workstation. The samba server is a PDC, and when I try to join the workstation to the samba controlled domain using the root account (which worked on Samba 2.2.8 just fine), I get a message on the NT workstation that it

Hi, Before Samba 3.0.0 RC4 I was running Samba 3.0.0 beta3, and when I upgraded to RC4, I began having problems with group mappings. I didn't notice at first, because on my laptop I don't normally log on to the domain. I just noticed when I tried to use my desktop and log on to the domain... I don't have Domain Admin privileges. So, I look at 'net groupmap list' ... and it

Hi there. I need help. I installed samba + nt acl. I switched on acl on the filesystem, added users in the /etc/passwd and in the tdb database samba, using tdbedit. When I logged in the share, I created a test file, clicked on the right mouse button, chose properties->security. And When I clicked on "add" button into Win 2000 server, I saw all my samba account. But When I did

I tried to send this before but it might need re-sending... Hi, Just found this out - is it a bug which I should register or is this by design? We had been running a Samba 2.2 server for a few years with a domain called PSCT - everybody very happy (well done guys!). Installed a new server with Samba 3 based on Debian Etch. The new server was set as the domain PSCT2 to keep things clear.

The exact configuration mentioned below used to work on rhel3, and when updated to rhel4 it stopped working... when visited the samba log file, there was this error : useradd: invalid user name 'wpvm01$' rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_create_user(2272) could not add user/computer wpvm01$ to passdb.

OK. I've given up on using the 'net vampire' feature to suck our NT4 info. Now I want to start afresh. I've set the smb.conf file up, and run the script I found in the HTML docs to map common Windows Domain groups to unix groups. This worked OK. Now I want to create a root account so I can actually join the domain from a Windows 2000 client. When I run:

Hi, I'm running Samba as a PDC on a Debian Etch machine (3.0.24-6etch9). It's been some time (months, maybe 1 year) since I last added a new machine to the domain, but I'd need to do it today and I'm getting an error: #>pdbedit -a -m Woodstock-VMXP tdb_update_sam: struct samu (woodstock-vmxp$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) The machine does NOT

I'm trying to set up a samba PDC. I've been following the directions in "The Official Samab-3" book. I still don't understand how to add users! I'm using tdbsam and I set up all the add user scripts and what not in the smb.conf. pdbedit won't let me do anything unless I add the user with adduser(what's the point of the scripts?) and even when I add the user by
