similar to: Stuck on Problem with Joining Domains...please help!

I have a fairly old Samba server, 3.0.25, on CentOS 4.8. I'd like to update it to something more modern, so I grabbed the "Enterprise Samba" 3.5 RPMs for RHEL, and went to work on a test machine. After upgrading via "rpm -U ./*.rpm", starting nmbd and smbd, I can no longer log in to the domain, I get: netlogon_creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client

All, I have a site with around 200 concurrent users, with a user count of over a thousand... I'm currently using just one PDC using the smbpasswd backend. I currently do not want to go into an LDAP backend... but would tdbsam be a better alternative? One of the issues I have is, pretty randomly, I have some machines that cannot find the domain controller (dell wireless card utility tells you

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Samba with a tdbsam backend, configured not to use roaming profiles. Two different XP clients (SP2) are joined to the domain ok but users can only logon by rebooting before entering their logon details. When users logoff and try to logon again (or logon as a different user on the same machine) they get the standard message 'windows cannot connect to

You did exactly what I ask for, which was to let it rip. I will have to read over slowly several times. Be nice to disable winbind too. My ego

Sorry still unable to find documentation Hello I have set up a Samba 3 PDC on RHEL4 using the tdbsam backed. I can log in as a user who has been added to the tdbsam database from a workstation. When I try to add the workstation to the domain (after breaking user connections to the server) I get "The following error occurred while trying to joining the domain xyz.com. Access denied. I

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

Hi I am still struggling to setup a home network of: - 2 laptops running Windows 7 Home - 1 laptop running Windows 10 Home - 1 Raspberry Pi ‘RPHS’ running Rasbian Jesse and Samba 4.1.17-Debian The current status is that only one of the Windows machines can see the Samba shared drive /mnt/data. The other machines don’t discover the Pi at all. I’m wondering if there is something wrong with my

Hi Rowland >Sorry, but a dns domain is just as relevant for a home network as it is for >a work network, please use one Ok, thanks. I know this is well out of your area, but I wonder where I would specify the dns domain in Windows?

Is there a way to enable user to change password on first signon?

Hi, Recently I have installed samba 3.4.8 on my device. Since then ftp (vsftp,proftpd) which is taking users from samba database with pam_smbpass.so is not working. After enabling detailed log I have noticed it is looking for the passwords in smbpasswd (/etc/samba/private) which is of zero size . I think all users passwd are located in passwd.tdb.I could fix this by giving "passdb

Hello everybody, I need your advice with the following: I've just installed RedHat Linux 6.1, and configured Samba 2.0.5a. This is not my first time installing samba; I've installed it several times before, always on Linux, so I decided to configure it out of the box, so my scenario is: + On the Linux side, I can mount a NT share using smbmount, and copy files. No problems. + On the NT

Hi, I was having problem with the tdbsam backend in which a particular user got listed twice with pdbedit. (http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg109110.html) Without much hope in fixing it, I am planning to re-generating passdb.tdb on my PDC by: (1)exporting tdbsam to smbpasswd backend (2)delete passdb.tdb (3)re-import smbpasswd to tdbsam backend With the command `

I need to migrate from samba w/LDAP 2.2.8a to 3.0.1pre3 with tdbsam. Any suggestions how to keep from having to change all the profiles? I have read through chapter 30 of the HOWTO but it assumes keeping the same backend. I need support to munge_dial and that is not available without mysql or tdbsam.... Thanks in advance for your help. Sean
