similar to: Questions on Backup Domain Control

I would like to know the options I need in my smb.conf to have for setting up a Samba 3.x Backup Domain Controller when using LDAP. What I am confused about is reference made in the smb.conf man page to "idmap". From the man page and Samba how-to documentation, I understand this "idmap" reference to only be used for member servers and backup domain controllers that

Hello! I want to create BDC with smbpasswd backend, just because I run ldap master on the same machine as PDC and I don't think that using ldap backend will be far better for me. Only thing I don't understand: I read in howto: <quote> Machine Accounts Keep Expiring This problem will occur when the passdb (SAM) files are copied from a central server but the local Backup

Hi, I want to set up SaMBa PDC and BDC with LDAP. I read the TOSHARG2, but don't understand something: >Samba-3 cannot participate in true SAM replication and is therefore not able to employ >precisely the same protocols used by MS Windows NT4. A Samba-3 BDC will not create >SAM update delta files. Ok, I understand until that, but: >It will not interoperate with a PDC (NT4 or

Yes, but only to a Samba PDC.The main reason for implementing a BDC is

In the comming months we will be setting up a few new machines to replace our PDC and BDC that are currently running Fedora 11 with Samba 3.4.7 and OpenLDAP 2.4.15. We will be upgrading to the latest Fedora with samba/ldap. With this we will be recreating our domain fresh to get rid of alot of old junk not needed and add in new features. We do use roaming profiles also. My main concern is this:

I have a RH 7.2 PDC which uses DHCP for 2 machines on the network. My Win9x machine as a client/BDC just in case and uses a static IP. If the PDC goes down. I have to put in or take out the PDC's gateway IP and was wondering if there was a way to get ONLY the info I need from DHCP to the Win machine. To attempt to clarify, when the PDC is up, it will assign its gateway IP to the BDC (since it

Hello everyone. I think Samba is wonderful. I have a full domain running here using ldap servers as the back end. The PDC connects to the master LDAP server while the BDC's do localhost lookups as they are slave LDAP servers. The following are snippets of logs that are appearing on my syslog host. Error is on top explanation below. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I am running

We have SuSE SLES9 servers with LDAP master/slave replication (24 replications/BDC's) All working fine -joining domain etc. The problem I am having is PC's at remote sites (BDC) with a local replica (OpenLDAP) periodically change the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword on there own and write to the local LDAP server and do NOT follow the referral to the master. I have written scripts to

Hello, I have a little problem with samaba... well... with windows nt, samba works fine. I'll try to explain it: My net has 2 servers with NT4, a pdc and a bdc. Well, my intentions is to eliminate de NT4 PDC and put a Samba PDC. So I made the next steps: 1-. In BDC, Administrative Tools - Server Administrators (i think) and there i select the BDC and click in the menu to "Eliminate

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

I have a Samba-LDAP PDC at an office and 5 BDC's at other offices. At corporate HQ I have a W2k Server and domain. I have properly configured an interdomain trust and Users in the Samba domain can get to sections on the W2k machine regardless of location. However, members in the W2K domain can only access shares on the PDC. Attempts to access shares on a BDC cause a user name

I would like to know how to achieve a "hot-failover" setup between a Samba 3.x.x primary domain controller and backup domain controller with a LDAP backend. I was under the impression that all I need to specify is something like the following in my smb.conf: passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://pdc-srv.domain.org ldap://bdc-srv.domain.org" I have set this passdb backend

Hi all, I have a BDC which uses the LDAP backend of my PDC. Unfortunately all the users who log-in in the morning and who are processed by this BDC, do not get their logon script executed. The BDC logs this error message: [2013/05/24 07:28:11.946577, 2] auth/auth.c:304(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [foobar] -> [foobar] -> [foobar] succeeded
