similar to: Samba 3.0 and LDAP as a PDC

I've gone back to 3.0.1 to try and get winbind to work with my Solaris 9 machine and NT4 domain. Everything works except user authentication. The wbinfo and getent commands do what they are supposed to. I've included a truss of 'su - ganguly' According to pamlog, the user 'ganguly' has been granted access but it is still hanging. How do I do a truss of a telnet login?

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

Just a quick question, it may sound a bit stupid but I just want to make sure. I have a Solaris 9 machine running winbind, the backend is an OpenLDAP database running on a RedHat 9 machine. My question is, apart from the 'smbpasswd -w' command and the obvious stuff in smb.conf, do I have to set up the LDAP client on Solaris for Samba to be able to put new mappings into the LDAP database?

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

Hi have been trying to get winbind working on Solaris 9 but to no effect. version info: samba: 3.0.0 openldap: 2.1.23 kerberos: MIT 1.3.1 Have followed the instructions in every howto, usenet posting I could find: nscd not running created relevant links in /lib and /lib/security/sparcv9 applied patch for nsswitch as recommended kinit -e works net ads join works wbinfo -t works wbinfo -u

__________________ Hi all, I've configured samba 3.0 as a domain memeber in NT 4.0 domain. Server has been added to the domain, without any problems, BUT, for three days...., I'm not able to find a way how to use NT domain resourses for this samba server. I can list domain users and groups with "wbinfo" command from but "getent passwd" lists only the local

Dear list, Is it sufficient to patch my 3.0.0 install to 3.0.1 on my Solaris 9 machine? Or do I have to recompile the whole lot from scratch? Does the new version put all the files in the right places, e.g. pam_winbind.so and libnss_winbind.so? (I think the HOWTO still says you have to copy these to the right places and make links if you want to use winbind) I'm just wondering whether it

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

I'm still stuck on the logging in part of winbind on Solaris 9. I've applied the required patch to the OS that is mentioned in the HOWTO and tried various other things. When I login at a command line console with a NT username and password I get a message (I've configured syslog.conf) saying that I've been granted access by pam_winbind but that is as far as it goes. I get no

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

Dear list, How do I test whether I have access to my winbind LDAP backend from my Solaris 9 machine? My LDAP database is held on a Redhat 9.0 machine also running Samba 3.0.0. I know winbind works because getent and wbinfo show up my NT users and groups. I would also like to have people log into my Solaris 9 machine with their NT usernames, I have this working on Redhat already but Solaris is

Hi to all ! I'm confronted to the following problem : I have a Linux box (SuSE 6.4 running kernel 2.2.14 & smb 2.0.7). I have configured smb to be the master for domain named essaismb. When I connect to this domain from a windows 98 box, it works fine. However, all the PC that are in my firm are not (yet) configured to connect to this domain. At that moment, they connect to a win NT 4.0

Hi Mike, Thanks for replying! I have tried that but I still have the same problem. I think that PAM is doing its job, I've set up logging so that everything in pam.conf logs to /var/log/pamlog. In pamlog I see "user 'ganguly' granted access". There is something else that is stopping this working, I just can't see what it is. Any ideas? -----Original Message-----

Hi, I had trouble getting the pwdump program to work correctly on a german version of NT4SP3. I believe the problem is based on the fact that the german group 'Administrators' is called 'Administratoren', and Administrators is hard-coded into the utility. Would it be possible to make that an optional parameter? Unfortunately, I have no access to a C-Compiler on an NT-station, so

Hi Sapan! See the Vol 13 Digest MSG 34 of 28 Jan 04: here it is: --------------- IT WORKS!!! I can telnet, ftp, rsh... to my Samba 3.0.1 box (Solaris 9 sparc) here is (at the end) my pam.conf (in case somebody is interested in) The trick is commenting "other accound... winbind..." string in pam.conf! My English is corrupted wnen i'm full #other account sufficient

Hi, I would like to migrate from NT PDC to a Samba PDC. My main concern is that all my users have local profile (i.e. there is no roaming profiles). It seems that users profiles on a workstation are not valide when migrating to the Samba PDC. It seams that the users cannot keep the same identity. On the other hand, I would really like to change PDC without users noticing anything. Tools

reetings, Greetings, Can anyone help me find out how to migrate Active Directory users to Samba+LDAP? I have everything working: Samba+LDAP+Kerberos PDC in Debian and I also have a Windows Active Directory in production with more than 100 users added. I just want to transfer all the AD users to de PDC in Debian. I tried using pwdump to extract AD users but with no positive results. Please

Hi, 1. I want to migrate NT to Samba 3 domain without needing to rejoin all machine (using same domain name and SID). just curious, machine account should belong to what group sid? does it matter if belong to any value? 2. I just examine output of pwdump, some of member domain or even NT BDC is has "*****" in password field which means this account was disabled. I've verified that

Hello Everyone, I have read all the man pages and the "HOW-TO-PDC..." related to the operation and configuration of SAMBA. I don't however, see anything detailing a move away from WinNT to SAMBA PDC. Can someone point me to a doc or website that has helped them migrate as smooth as possible? I heard there is a way of grabbing passwords using pwdump, users uid, and the Domain ID.

All, Is there a way to setup serial communication between dom0 and domU. The idea is to have some way of exchanging messages between dom0 and domUs. Certainly, it is possible to use s host-only network, and ssh or shared file system to exchange data. However, there could be cases where the dom0 is not networked. You may want to automate configuring domUs from dom0. Any suggestions. Arijit
