I'm trying to add a computer account as root and I am getting the following error: "the user name could not be found" The root account appears in the smbpasswd file and I have access to the server when I use the root credentials. I have the following in the smb.conf file to add users: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c "machine account" -s

Hi, Could you please tell me, what's happend when the UID/SID mapping changes for a computer account ? In my previous mail, I explain that suddenly every computers of my domain was unable to connect to our samba logon server. Before this problem, a 'net rpc vampire' was done to resynchronize the samba ldap-sam with the NT4 PDC, and samba has been restarted, I suspect that after

I think that machine trust account did not access any resources, is there any way to avoid using posix account for machine trust? or at least using only one shared posix id? --beast

Hi all, I have tried to disable anonymous in smb.conf, by include the global: restrict anonymous = true password server = * encrypt passwords = yes null passwords = no Buy when I ran the : ./smbclient -L myserver -N I have this message: added interface ip=111.xx.xx.xx bcast=111.xx.xx.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 Got a positive name query response from 111.xx.xx.xx( 111.xx.xxx.xx)

I have a Linux Samba server I access from a Win2K system. I want to allow a process started from a Windows "service" to access a share on the Samba server. The Windows service is set to run as "LocalSystem" instead of a specific userID. What userID do I need to define on the Samba server to allow "LocalSystem" to access files on a Samba share? -- Jim Garrison

hi, after compiling samba30b1 on suse82 i try to join the domain: different commands, different responses but always the machine account was sucessfully created what doeas this mean ? a) net join -I 192.168.1.20 -U Administrator [2003/06/17 15:14:50, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_nt_setup_creds(249) cli_nt_setup_creds: request challenge failed [2003/06/17 15:14:50, 1]

I am testing samba 3.0's net rpc vampire tool and am getting strange results... after I import the account info, the samba usernames seem to be mapping to hardcoded unix uid #'s instead of account names. For example: # pdbedit -u jah000 idmap uid range missing or invalid idmap will be unable to map foreign SIDs idmap gid range missing or invalid idmap will be unable to map foreign SIDs

Hello! to all... Does some one use the account policy on Samba to lockout accounts after 3 bad logon attempts (like on WinNT)? I am searching among FAQ's and documents on the net but still didn't find an good help on this issue. Thank's in advance for any help, []'s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Fernando

Hi guys and girls, I run a Samba-3.0 PDC for N.T. workstations on a Slackware Linux box. I often see the following error in the N.T. workstation's event log: Changing machine account password for account "xxxxx$" failed with the following error: The handle is invalid. Any ideas what this could be ? I'm not using PAM in any way. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. --

I'm still getting near a thousand error messages a day on only one of my two samba servers that both participate in the same W2K domain: [2004/02/16 09:17:52, 0] rpc_client/cli_trust.c:change_trust_account_password(248) 2004/02/16 09:17:52 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain ITS.

Hi, I've finally gotten my LDAP password backend up and running, and finally figured out the SID 1000/1001 thing for Samba admin. However I'm unable to join the workstation to my domain. Using any random user in the WXP dialogue, I get the "Access is Denied" error. Fair enough. Using the user with sambasid and sambagroupsid s-*-1000/s-*-1001, I get the error "The Username

I have a problem with machine trust accounts breaking in a purely Samba controlled domain. I have one master Samba server acting as a PDC, and three slave servers in different networks. The UNIX user account information is updated by means of NIS, and smbpasswd gets rsync'ed to the slave servers whenever there is a change in the file. All this works without problems at all times. When I

When configuring a SunOS 5.9 box running Samba 2.2.8a with security=domain, as per http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html#samba2-CHP-4-SECT-7 I get the following error "could not fetch trust account password for domain" when trying to connect to a share via 'net use * \\server\share /user:domain\username' However, 'security=user' works correctly.

Hello, all: My Samba server is a member of a Windows 2000 AD domain. Authentication to the Samba server is, of course, by encrypted NTLM hashes. Authentication to the host itself, which runs Red Hat Linux 7.1, is by NIS (the AD domain controller is running Server for NIS). I want to remove NIS (or at least the passwords from NIS). To accomplish this, I wish to use pam_krb5 to authenticate users

Greetings, I was reading over the documentation online for using SAMBA as a PDC, and in the section about creating machine trust accounts is talks about having to add machine accounts to the /etc/passwd file. The text also mentions that future versions of SAMBA will remove this requirement: "Because Samba requires machine accounts to possess a UNIX uid from which an Windows NT SID can

Hello: I have installed Samba successfully on a Sun Solaris 8 (Sparc box). Using the SWAT web tool I was ablt to get a smb.conf file created.

Hello, can i use the samba "net" utility to add a machine account to my samba domain ? I added "add user script" "ass machine script" a.s.o. The WinNT4.0 Tools "Domain Manager" and "User Manager" are working fine, but i want an easy solution for the linux cmdline. with regards holgi

Hello samba-list, I'm able to shutdown remote mashines using: supzli02pdc:~ # net rpc shutdown -S <target-pc> -U Administrator%<passwd> -r -t 1 --comment=Abmelden I wounder if this is also possible with an mashine account auth (from the PDC)? I couldn't get it to work: supzli02pdc:~ # net -n supzli02pdc -P rpc shutdown -r -t 1 -S <target-pc> --comment=Abmelden

We find the samba 3.0.x cmd 'net' can modify the info name:samba version:3.0.x to machine account info in Domain Controller after registering samba to domain by ldap. But samba 2.2.x always show name:Windows NT version:4.0 after registering samba to domain. Can we modify the info in samba 2.2.x ?
