Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding group mapping. I am working on configuring Samba 3.0.0 on FreeBSD with LDAP support. 1. Am I correct in that winbindd needs nsswitch to work? If so I would need to run FreeBSD 5.1 and not FreeBSD 4.x so that I had NSSwitch support. 2. If I am correct in question 1 is anybody running FreeBSD 5.1 with nsswitch with Samba 3.0.0 +LDAP successfully? 3.

Folks, I some very basic questions with regard to Samba and LDAP backend account database use. I am familiar with LDAP and have been using ldap for a while now to store info for a variety of services. I have been using Samba as a stand alone file server with user account info in /etc/passwd for a while as well. I am now trying to build samba 3.3.0 as a standalone, non PDC, on solaris 10 using

Hi all, another French guy learning, don't bash me too hard... ;-) In fact, I'm in need of a confirmation : I'm on the way to create a Samba3+LDAP (new schemas) PDC server (no migration from NT4 nor 2K, only from an old Samba 2.0 with security=user using /etc/passwd, ie. no encrypt password). This Samba3 should be hosted on a FreeBSD 4.8 (ie. pam_ldap can work, I tested it today, but

Has anyone at all gotten the Samab 3.0 to integrate into the FreeBSD 5.1 Name Service switcher? Are there patches avaliable? Does anyone know where to get the FreeBSD nss api so I can try to fix the code my self? I keep getting the following errors in my logs NSSWITCH(nss_method_lookup): winbind, passwd, getpwnam_r, not found

Hello fellow list members, does anyone knows of a good HOWTO (or a book) for setting up Samba as a PDC? I have been dealing around with the Samba HOWTO collection, but to be honest, this is a hard job. There are some errors in it and descriptions are not this good. I even don't know what all the tools are for. I'm really experienced in Linux server stuff, but this one drives me mad.

I tried to use samba 3.0.2alpha in a ldap environment ( netscape 4 diretory server ) with xp sp1 and window 2000 server as client. I followed the ignacio coupeau tutorial's. I have some questions about samba 3 architecture and nt 2000 in general. Ignacio coupeau have 2 domain's logon, with exactly the same configuration. it seems to work on my lan but I'd like to understand how. I

List, documenters; I'd like to exchange notes about the official Samba 3 LDAP doco. I'd like to do this off list, since doing it on list would simply confuse and confound users wit perfectly working systems. Background: Me, Samba relative newbie, though I can get *everything* Samba-orientated to work simply by using umpteen years Unix experience. Many years as Openldap admin. With

Hey all, Did I see something on here about using an AGI script to do reverse lookups via anywho.com? I have a PRI that only gets caller-id number and no Alpha. TIA, -- Daniel Jimenez <djimenez[at]pobox[dot]com>

Hi, I installed CentOS 4.3 on my machine which comes with Samba 3.0.10pre-installed. I want to use the latest Samba 3.0.22, so I uninstalled Samba package (rpm -e samba, rpm -e samba-client, samba-common can not be removed due to the package dependency). I then downloaded Samba 3.0.22 and installed it on my machine. However, when I try to start samba service and got a "Unrecognized Samba

I have setup samba 3 as a PDC for a set of computers that previously had Domain Users setup to run as local admins under XP, so that anyone that has logged into the domain has local admin access. Whats the best way to replicate this setup so that I don't have to go around to each computer and change the local security policy? Is there a way to assign users to the group domain users? or would

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just

Hello About Record(), ATFT 2nd Edition says that "if the filename contains %d, these characters will be replaced with a number incremented by one each time the file is recorded."

Can anyone point me to a guide on migrating Linux and Samba accounts to LDAP? I can only find part guides, and I can't figure out how to get the account data combined (without a lot of manual effort). I can get the Linux accounts over no problems. I then tried to do "pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsame -s /path/to/modified/smb.conf", but it only manages to stuff things up by skipping

Hi ! *Any* sugestions are welcome: I have problem with my samba+LDAP setup (2 weeks now :-(((( ) with the joining of win2k workstations to the samba PDC domain. Every user in the ldap can access his share in the PDC. for instance the users xpto access's without any problem to the \\PDC-SRV\xpto if i add the wks account with the script before trying to join the domain: smbldap-useradd.pl

Hello, It appears that the FreeBSD port of Samba 3.0.x may be falling behind. The port maintainter does not use Winbind and thus has not kept up with the development of it. 3.0.1 will very shortly be ported to FreeBSD, currently it is still at 3.0.0. I know there have been some recent changes to Samba that help FreeBSD out, and I wanted to make sure that the port of Samba 3.0.x on FreeBSD stays

Is there something special I need to do to let root add computers to the domain in 3.0? When I try to add the workstation I get an error about 'user not found' even though I can logon to a workstation joined to the domain as 'root'.
