similar to: Samba + LDAP + Password Expiry = Almost working...

Hi, Why you sp?cifie : smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd pam password change = Yes If you use LDAP ? It's the interaction between LDAP and these parameter which cause the problem. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

In the course of correcting directory references for Mandrake in smbldap-tools I came acrossed the following: samba-2.2.7a/examples/LDAP/ldapsync.pl on line 72 we have: > $ntpwd = `/usr/local/sbin/smbencrypt '$oldpass'`; On Mandrake this would be: > $ntpwd = `/usr/sbin/smbencrypt '$oldpass'`; Except that I can't find anything by that name (i.e.

I have a Samba 2.2.7a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend) that seems to be giving me trouble. Here's the scoop: I have Windows 2000 Pro clients running Word 2000. Over the past several days, a lot of them have had trouble with their documents - most of the time during a save. The most critical of these failures presents the following error message when saving: "Word has lost data due to a

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 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

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

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

Ok, I've got a Samba/LDAP PDC built. I've got my groups added and even have users in those groups. But now I have a few administrative questions. If these questions have be simple answers, be gentle - I'm a newbie. 1). How do I/Can I script the installation of a generic password into these accounts? I'm looking to put some common password in for all users and then allow the

Hi, We are planning to move all of our win2k server (currenty around 50!) alongwith AD to Linux, we are planning to use LDAP based samba domain controllers for authentication and file/print serving. We are doing a pilot and things are fine till now, just one simple problem, what should we do with our password policy, we have three restrictions relating passwords minimum password length password

Hello, I am currently migrating from OpenLDAP to Samba 4 PDC, and I have a webpage (PHP/Apache) available for users so that they can change their password on the existing LDAP server. I attempted to adjust that script to change the password on the Samba 4 AD controller, but I get a "cannot connect" error to LDAP. The web server the password script is running on is not on the same

Hello every body, i am using samba (2.2.8a) with ldap support. In the samba.schema, there are special attributes relatives to the user passord: pwdMustChange, pwdCanChange, kickoffTime, logoffTime, logonTime and pwdLastSet. All the samba's documentations i can found described those attributes as "currently unused", execpt the last one that represent the time modification since 1970.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

Using Debian Etch package dovecot-common and dovecot-pop3d, based on 1.0.rc15-2 My home directories are set up with 770 permissions as follows: /home/<group name>/<user name> Using this method, users MUST be a member of the appropriate group to access their own home directory. If they are not, they can't chdir past /home. This appears to kill dovecot with a

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs. Everything work very fine when running the scripts in shell mode... but! In smb.conf : ============= add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u This line don't work and it should, because when running

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

Hello folks, I am kinda confused as to how to get some values for ldap. For example, here is an ldif entry: dn: uid=gcarter, ou=people,dc=plainjoe,dc=org logonTime: 0 displayName: Gerald Carter lmPassword: 552902031BEDE9EFAAD3B435B51404EE primaryGroupID: 1201 objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: sambaAccount acctFlags: [UX ] userPassword: {crypt}BpM2ej8Rkzogo uid: gcarter uidNumber:

Yesterday I started to build a test network to evaulate our planned move to Samba 3.0.14 and Debian. I started off by duplicating our LDAP directory. On the exisiting Samba PDC/LDAP master machine, I did: slapcat -v -l old.ldif I put the 'old.ldif' file onto a floppy disk, went to the lab's server and performed slapadd -v -l /media/floppy/old.ldif The process stopped on the

I am updateding my LDAP presentation (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf) to include a section on the Samba 2.2.x LDAP backend. But I can't find any definititive documentation on the "time" attributes: pwdLastChange, pwdMustChange. Either how the time is encoded or exactly what they mean. I've seen post saying they are hexidecimal (although they don't look it)

Hi I have a PDC/BDC samba/ldap environment. PDC: samba 3.0.24 slapd 2.3.30 BDC: samba 3.2.5 slapd 2.4.11 Ldap replication is working fine, but I have noticed two issues 1- when a windows user change password on BDC, sambaPwdMustChange and sambaPwdCanChange is not synced on PDC (using ldap passwd sync = yes and unix password sync = no) 2- when using 'net sam set pwdmustchange' on

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
