I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort! I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved away from NT 4: Password Expiration. In the past I have posted questions about this on the list and I've gotten two answers: "Wait for

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

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

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

Ok, after three more days of pulling my hair out, I'm still stuck. I've got what I think is the problem, but I'm sure how to fix it. I'm building a Samba PDC using the IDEALX.org HOWTO. I'm using samba 2.2.7 and openldap 2.0.27 that I compiled from the Red Hat Network. This is being built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1. Ok, So I get to the part of the HOWTO that

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

I have a problem on the two heaviest-used Samba servers in my company. They both are exhibiting the same problem, just in different ways. Stargazer is my "Main" File and LDAP directory server - it functions as the "PDC" for my network. It's running Red Hat Enterprise Linux "ES" 2.1, a recompiled custom Red Hat "ES" version of Samba 2.2.7 (to add LDAP

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

I'm trying to migrate my existing RedHat ES Samba PDC to Ubuntu. The RedHat version of Samba is 3.0.9 and the Ubuntu version is 3.0.14a. Everything was going fine until I tried to import the LDIF of the existing LDAP directory. The LDIF actually imports all of the structure (OU and Group definitions) and all of my users, but it fails when it comes to my first machine account with this

I've got a Red hat 8.0 machine running the latest "up2date" version of Samba (2.2.7 with Red Hat's patches) acting as a print server using CUPS. The printing of documents is fine for the most part. But I have noticed one thing that is really nothing more than an annoyance and was wondering if anyone else has seen the problem and possibly a cure. I have all Windows 2000 Pro

I have a small test environment setup with the following: Server Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Samba 2.2.7 - built from source OpenLDAP 2.0.27 - built from source OpenSSL 0.96b - built from source Note: All packages were downloaded from the Red Hat Network as Source RPMs - as far as I know, these are the latest "red Hat approved" versions. I made the proper changes to the .spec

Have IdealX.org lost their domain? it seems to have been pinched by some company selling domains. Site is partially mirrored at Idealx.com but stil links to idealx.org. Replace idealx.org urls with idealx.com but the samba downloadable stuff isn't there at the moment. Duncan

Four years ago, I migrated our network from Windows NT based servers to Linux, Samba+LDAP based setups. This setup has worked fine. Last year, we replaced our Exchange 5.5 server - the last "real" Windows server - with Scalix. This last decision has come back to bite me. Several new "thingys" that the boss wants, among other things, are forcing me to implement Exchange

That was a good hint! Yes, I've installed SP2, and it realy seems to be the Problem. Now I've checked that on a machine with SP1 - and the jobs from the same printqueue are removed correctly there! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0.9 doesn't remove printjobs ?

I've tried numerous times but cannot get Vampire to bring across all groups or add users to all groups that they belong to. Sometimes I get everygroup except 1, other times not so lucky.

Hi, When i put the command pdbedit plus any user name show the message user not found. Only user root is exibited. Why the others not show? the service smbd winb nmbd slapd is running without problem. Example *root at AbramisSRV smbldap-tools]# pdbedit -Lv teste* Username not found! *[root at AbramisSRV smbldap-tools]# pdbedit -Lv root* Unix username: root NT username: root

My root account keeps getting locked out automatically. I am running Samba 3.0.25b on a CentOS server, as PDC with LDAP backend. I have accounts set to lock after 8 un-successful login attempts. I zeroed out the bad password count, and then in less than a few seconds the account gets locked again and a /pdbedit -Lv -u root /yields the following: Unix username: root Logon time:

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema. My problem is that I cannot set the old SID (samba 2.2.8) to the new samba 3.0.12 for that the clients can authentificate to pdc server. samba2.2.8> smbpasswd -S LDAP Successfully set domain SID to
