question on pdbedit - when using it for a migration - existing data is stored in tdbsam. pbdedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam It wants to take existing machine accounts and put them into an ou=Computers. I'd rather it put them in ou=People. Samba version is 3.09 Thanks....... Jon Johnston Creative Business Solutions IBM, Microsoft, Novell/Suse, Sophos Consultants http://www.cbsol.com

Samba PDC system drive crashed. running 3.01. rebuilt system drive - kept the hostname the same, restored contents of /etc/samba, plus /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/password PDC isn't recognizing machines for SOME machines. Users appear fine. I know that I should have gotten the domain sid previously by doing "getlocalsid" and then restored it by doing "smbpasswd -W

Have a site where the network users are connecting to most shares through group usage. Unfortunately, access to Samba is sporadic. Sometimes they connect okay, sometimes they can't connect at all. Looking at their system config, I notice that the SID's for the groups look..... odd. The users group ends in 3005.... but each user's PrimaryGroupSID is a group with a SID that ends in

Experienced a server crash on a site that's using Samba 3.01 for a PDC, using tdb database. I have all of the information to recover Samba properly, including unix accounts, etc. However, can someone point me to a resource regarding recovery of linux user accounts and passwords? Thanks....

Samba 2.2.7-3.7.2 on Redhat 7.3 Have a samba server setup that has been running for over a year now..... fairly simple configuration - it is functioning as a stand=alone server with smbpasswd backend. Everything has been working properly until recently - now randomly some directories do not display their contents. There are files in the directory, I've checked the ownership/rights on the

Hello! Was hoping to get some suggestion and ideas for a samba server I will be implementing here in the next couple of weeks. I have gone through the websites documentation, but I was hoping some of the veterans of samba could maybe lend some ideas, advice and recommendations. I will try to be as detailed as possible. The samba server would server roughly 50-60 people. We have 3, maybe 4

Hello. I'm hoping that you will provide some help with a Samba problem that I'm experiencing. We have an Alphaserver that has been functioning as the Samba-server in a Windows/NT Domain for about 5 years now. It was set up by an engineer here at Raytheon Missile Systems Company and he left the company about 2 years ago. I've inherited the administration of it. Last week

One topic I can't find in either Samba 3 by Example or the Offical Samba 3 Howto & Reference Guide is that of migrating from a Samba3 server to a newer Samba 3 server (meaning newer hardware in this case). We are currently using the smbpasswd backend. I plan to move to tdbsam but that hasn't been done yet. All of the servers in question are running either whitebox 3 or redhat 9

migrating a group of workstations to a Samba PDC-based domain. Machines join to domain fine, but when I try to copy the existing local profiles to the roaming profiles, I get a "Failed to set security on destination profile" - Access is denied" I have added the domain user to the local machine as an administrator. When attempting to do the copy, I am logged into the samba

Hello, I am having dreadful problems with Win2k workstations running Photoshop not being unable to save files to a new file server which we just installed for the direct purpose of serving graphics files. When trying to Save As a new file or Save an edited (existing) file we're getting a response that the disk is full, which is far from true because we have 1.6 TB free. This happens both

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at

I don''t know why, but I am drawing a complete blank on something that should be easy. I''ve been searching, perhaps using wrong terms, and still not coming up with anything. Here''s what I''m trying to do: <div class="button" onMouseOver=''this.className="button_hover"''; onMouseOut

Quick question about the usage of glht. I'm working with a data set from an experiment where the response is bounded at 0 whose variance increases with the mean, and is continuous. A Gamma error distribution with a log link seemed like the logical choice, and so I've modeled it as such. However, when I use glht to look for differences between groups, I get significant

I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to

Good afternoon (as appropriate ; ) I''m having a problem and thought I''d run it past these forums to see if there even was a reasonable solution to it. I''m trying to set up a rails application to pull data from a legacy database. The trick is, that the database really wasn''t created with RoR convention over configuration in mind. The trick is that every

Hi all, I have a very good query related to printer sharing using samba. Following is the scenario... I had installed HP laserjet 9040Dn printer on redhat Enterprise linux 5. Shared it using samba. Used winbind protocol to integrate linux with windows AD 2003. Now i am able to see printer in Active directory as well as linux computer account in AD. But unable to set option lpadmin -p printer

I've pondered the feedback and revised my proposal to the client. Here is the revised project objectives. Notably, this is the addition of 4), the deletion of the whole slew of items actually related to handling versioned files, and mention of preexisting work on 1). I've took a little gander at some of the backup wrappers, and it looks like I will probably use one of these. I'll

There's a bug reported in Debian about the tty being screwed up by wierd filenames, see http://bugs.debian.org/bug=242300 On the one hand, find will also do this. On the other hand, ls will replace such chars with a question mark. Upon inspection, it appears to be fairly simple to also do this in rsync (in the rwrite() function). Here's a patch. Opinions? Perhaps don't do it
