I am in the process of investigating whether it's viable to replace our NT server domain with a linux server domain using SAMBA. The key is if Samba can act as a PDC, with other Samba BDCs in remote locations. Is this possible? ---------------------------------------------- Gabriel Matthews gabriel@cinergycom.com Network Support Cinergy Communications When life hands you

I've been tooling with this for a while, and I need some help... please!! :) Here's what I'm trying to do. I want a samba server to work with winbind, so that when I type 'getent passwd' it shows a list of local users, as well as my domain user list. I want a user to be able to ssh into the machine using their NT 4 domain username, like domain\username. That's pretty

We have a location that is having a really odd issue. We have a sangoma POTs card. We are running software echo cancellation with the card (through asterisk) to try to eliminate some major echoing problems. I've turned on both EC and echotrain, which seemed to have gotten rid of the echo for the most part. However, we are now running into an issue where the outside caller hears a star wars

I would just like to give a success report, since this list gets mostly bugs and questions.. Due mainly to the help that this list provided, I am now able to successfully deploy Linux/Samba servers in our corporate domain, and allow remote offices to function as part of our vast windows domain. Things are working, and the $$$ it has saved us is almost unmeasurable. Again, thanks for your help,

Could anyone give me some hint on how to get winbindd working ? I have added the following to smb.conf , called smbpasswd to join the domain and got security=domain working. security = domain encrypt passwords = yes workgroup = MYDOMAIN password server = x.x.x.x But when I try to use winbindd, even if I followed the man page instruction and did the following: added the following to smb.conf:

Hey list, arriving home from SambaXP, it was really nice. That darth vader cake was super sweet :-) Hearing some people talking about how much they'd like bash completion for `samba-tool`, I've put together an ugly script that does that. It's a very dumb script (I'm boldly calling it script), but it might make someones day a little bit easier.

I have searching the forums here on how to get Music On Hold working and I have been able to get * to accept a command for MusicOnHold and for Meetme after loading the ztdummy module. I used the default config for /etc/zaptel.conf since I saw no guidance on this. My problem now is that when I activate MusicOnHold, the sample music file sounds very slow and distorted. My best guess is that it is

We are using MFC/R2 driver successfully in at least three places in Brazil. I have problem with an Asterisk integrated with MFC/R2 with a Siemens Hicom 300. I can get a good audio quality with Grandstream, Polycom, and X-Lite softfones, but SIPURAS and Linksys get a garbled audio, something like a "Darth Vader" voice. We have tried everything in Sipura. The SIPURA 2000 and the Linksys

I've searched both the archives and dejanews, to no avail. I'm trying to get a hp 4mp (PostScript) print out sane output. I've got a old machine running Red Hat Linux, hooked up to the 4MP. The printcap prints up postscript just fine. I make the printer a share, tell it that the printer is postscript, then go to the win98 box, choose the HP 4MP driver and try printing and get

Hi! I've got a Mandrake 2006.0 machine and a APC Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500 (from lsusb). The Mandrake package version of nut is 2.0.1 and hidups actually detects the UPS, however I get loads of these: Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Ignoring x86 page event 0xff860080 (0) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled event: 0x840058 (6) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled

List, I am having trouble with a previously working rsync server.

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

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

Hi, My doubt is about Idmap + LDAP + winbind, related do BDC + PDC. We are using Samba 3.0.33 (Slackware 12.0.0). Our layout is almost like this one http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/images/chap6-net.png, but we have more BLDGn than this example. Actually, we are taking ideas from http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html and from

Hello! I configured samba BDC according to howto. PDC is in the same subnet. But I see that windows ( at least 2003 servers from the same subnet) sometimes connects to BDC to retrieve info about users. Now I use smbpasswd and machine accounts are in passwd. I'm afraid that will try to change their password too ;-) Could somebody explain me why windows behavoir?

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also
