Hello, I have a question about the documentation of the Samba Howto's. Specifically, I am not able to understand how group mapping ties into LDAP. I believe I understand the concept of unix to windows group mapping as laid out in chapter 12 as it relates a tdbsam, but get confused when dealing with a ldapsam back-end. There is a note listed " When the passdb back-end uses LDAP

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

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>

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

Folks, I like criticism! Please give me lots of it - particularly in respect of the updated "Samba-Guide". It should now be up on the Samba mirror sites. You can download it from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf I have incorporated all feedback into this book. Did I get it right this time or should I give up? So far, not a word of feedback is deafening! Is it

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups

We put together a samba 3.0.x server to replace an nt domain controller 3 weeks ago when our nt servers were being hit by and unpatched/unpatchable vulnerability in nt. we went through numerous howto's and other documents. The net rpc vampire seem to grab everything fine. However, now when we attempt to add a machine to the domain we get a failure. looking through the log files we see

Hi. I've got a strange issue here. Some time ago (in march ;) I upgraded my FreeBSD-6.0 Samba 2.2 to 3.0 (currently 3.0.24). After creating groupmaps and doing all the other upgrade tasks, everything seemed to be alright. However, it was not possible to login from some machines (getting error for the wrong password). After disjoining and rejoining domain with these machines, it was possible

hello, trying to set up an pdc with 3.0.4 on solaris with openldap creating groups and adding groupmaps does not work. net group add asks the password for the ldap-manager, comes back without any message, but the group does not exist after that. if i try to make a groupmap without adding a wingroup first, the result is the following (no question for the password!) /usr/local/samba/bin/net

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

I've been at this for hours now and am still not getting it to work. I've been through the lists trying to find an answer and so far as I can tell, everything is configured OK. Obviously it's not, but I'm stuck. I recently installed Squeeze on my home server, overwriting a Lenny installation. I've been able to add my NT (Windows XP/Pro) domain accounts back in and pdbedit

Hi, this has nothing directly to do with samba, but there might be some people who try to use samba with (Open)LDAP on OpenSUSE 11.1 like me. Between 10.2 and 11.1 the nss_ldap configuration has changed a bit. The file which configures the access to ldap is now /etc/nss-ldap.conf and seems to have the identical layout as the former /etc/ldap.conf. Also needed is the "nslcd"

I am trying to run samba as a PDC on SLES10 with ldap backend for samba accounts and local users vi nss_ldap. I can get everything working. ldap backend is populated with smbldap-tools samba talks to ldap (pdbedit -L confirms) nss_ldap (getent passwd|group report correctly) but if i attempt to restart ldap it will not bind to ports to listen. If i remove ldap settings from /etc/nsswitch.conf

Hay together, is the following entry in nsswitch.conf possible ? passwd: compat passwd_compat: winbind I want to use the compat mode, so i can use the +/- semantic. But in this case i cant login with username/password. If i configure the nsswitch.conf like: passwd: files winbind The login works, but so i cant use the +/- semantic. Andy ideas ? Thanks, Andy

Hi, I have setup a samba server as a domain member to share print queues. As I'm doing print quotas, I need the users to be authenticated properly. The setup works except that it appears that I need to add winbind to my nsswitch.conf. This is kind of upsetting as I don't see a reason why I have to share windows users' namespace with my linux users base (mainly root and system users

I don't get reverse lookups (gethostbyaddr) over winbind wins to work. Normal lookups work and also wbinfo -I gives back a netbios name for an IP. my entry in nsswitch.conf is hosts: files dns wins (dns reverse lookups ar ok) The wins server is also samba and runs on another server. Many thanks for any help...

Samba users, I have compiled Samba 3.3.6 from the pristine sources on samba.org on a CentOS 5 machine. When I compiled Samba, CentOS's samba-common package was installed and specifying 'winbind' in /etc/nsswitch.conf allowed winbind to supply user information. For the sake of cleanliness and removing old libraries, I removed the samba-common package. Now, specifying

Hello! I'm working on openssh and nsswitch integration in FreeBSD. I am lucky to participate in Googles' Summer of Code and openssh+nsswitch integration is the part of my project. I've almost completed the patch. I'd like to describe some details here. I'll be glad to correct or change some things if you wish. The idea is to replace system-wide known-hosts file with
