Dear All, I still cannot get Samba3 (beta3) to work as PDC with LDAP backend. I still encounter the problem of having to join an XP workstation two times in succession before the join is successful. This does not happen on Samba2.2.8a. For both Samba 2.2.8a and samba3 beta i have workstation accounts added directly to ldap (via add-machine-script) without adding a corresponding entry in

problem: I wish to implement samba on a solaris 8 with authentication from a win2k active directory server. I wish to have user dorectories mounted to AD server via samba and authenticated via AD. Anyone knows an easy/doable way to do this? -regards Rich

Just installed samba-3.0.0beta1 and trying to use swat. When clicked on help on a particular paramenter (any one), a new window pops up and supposingly it will load smb.conf.5.html and then jumps to the label of the parameter. But now it doesn't work. smb.conf.5.html is no longer complete. Checked under docs/docbook/smbdotconf and found that smb.conf.5.xml supposingly should include files

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

Hi, I am just fiddeling with 2.2.0 final. I am having trouble with the config files I used with 2.2.0alpha3: check_access: no hostnames in host allow/deny list.

Hi, I do not know whether this is a samba problem or an NT feature, but it seems only to occur with samba boxes, so it could be samba's fault: The NT PDC (moritz) runs also the WINS server. It regularly forgets the IP addresses of our samba servers: # nmblookup -U moritz -R hni-gate querying hni-gate on 131.234.166.19 name_query failed to find name hni-gate I then just have to stop and

Hello, I would like to upgrade my samba version 2.2.1a to 2.2.5!! Well I am trying to find a rpm for SuSE 7.3, but was not successfull yet. The several Readme's of Lars Mueller did not really help my. Also, first I do not want to compile by my self. Does any body know where to get such rpm?? If not, I cannot find the ./configure arguments for samba 2.2.5 in the source code tar.gz (

Greetings ... Download and created an rpm with my changes that I will use, but why am I getting a "Failed dependencies: perl(Net::LDAP::LDIF) is needed by samba-3.0.0beta1-1lnx1" Should I need this, and I can't seem to find an rpm for this. I have tried to make a few, but they just kill over. Does anybody have rpms for this? Mailed Lee

Hi, I recently tried to use ACLs with samba. XFS is running, I can set ACLs using setfacl and read them with getfacl, no problem so far. Samba compiled fine with '--with-acl-support'. Now I set up a share with 'nt acl support = yes', put there a file and added an acl with 'setfacl': root@edjo[ACLTEST]# getfacl datei.txt # file: datei.txt # owner: odenbach # group:

Hi, I am looking for a list of theses special magic numbers that a samba server (or a windows box) registers with at a wins server. I already know of <00> as a ordinary name, <1b> as a domain. But what's the rest? Is there a list anywhere? Perhaps somewhere in the docs? I have searched them but haven't found anything yet. Thanks, Christopher --

Hi: setup: Samba-3.0alpha24 with OpenLDAP 2.1.20 client: XP smbclient test with an LDAP user works But I cannot join the domain PDC (with root, uidNumber = 0): 1. if I set passwd backend = ldapsam_compat, I got: Access Denied 2. if I set passwd backend = ldapsam_compat, ldapsam, I got No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. The machine account was created on the fly

Hello, I tried to configure a share with samba-3.0.0RC1 but after specifying the share name and after I clicked "create", nothing happens. Only the header "share parameters" is shown. I've searched the list archives and a certain Chee Wai Yeung reported exactly the same problem with samba3.0.0beta1 on 09/06/2003 Will this bug be fixed before the final release? Werner

Hi, trying to investigate my xfs-acl problem I think I have found the missing part: In smbd/uid.c the function "sid_to_uid" resolves SIDs to unix user names. This is done as follows: - First the domain part of the SID is compared to the local domain (if the SID belongs to the samba server it can be resolved locally) - In any other cases winbindd is asked This works well if the

I am so stoked I just had to share this with y'all. I just "SEAMLESSLY" migrated all of my machines and users over to my new Gentoo Linux Server. I even kept the same: domain name and old PDC NetBios name. The trickiest part was getting all of the users to keep their same profile, but I managed that by cloning the RID and Lanman/NT hashes for the user accounts. Free at last! #

I have successfully implemented Samba in the past but I am now perplexed by a new installation which fails smbstatus with the message: "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR:

Hi everybody, I have a dilemma here about the user accounts. We have all the accounts at a NIS server. My samba PDC is another machine (different from the NIS server). What are my options for managing the accounts? 1) Central management (LDAP) 2) Keep different password files (passwd/smbpasswd) Are there any different options?? If I use the second option (2 - keep different password files),

I run Samba 2.2.8 on my Red Hat 9. Both smbd and nmbd are running OK. ps -aux | grep mbd shows the 2 processes, plus, smbclient works fine, thanks to Christopher. The Samba server resides on a host with IP 10.10.6.31. I got this from the smbclient run below: [root@RedHat samba]# smbclient //REDHAT/test -U jack added interface ip=10.10.6.31 bcast=10.10.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Password: And

Hi ! I?m currently testing samba-3.0.0rc4 as a pdc with acl-support. The box runs with debian-linux and a xfs-enabled 2.4.22-kernel. I have defined a share which is located on a xfs-partition. (changing acls with setfacl works well) I activated the flag : nt acl support = yes If I now try to change acls, i can open the win2k-acl-dialoge - but changes are not accepted by a "permission
