similar to: Samba3 password backend

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

Hi, I have set up a CUPS queue in the samba server with specific lpoptions (actually, it's a queue to print 2-up on an HP LaserJet4300 printer. I used lpoptions -d NX2-118 -o number-up=2). Everything works as expected when I print from the Unix side. However, when I print to the corresponding samba queue, the options specified through lpoptions are ignored (i.e. the prints come out as 1-up

I've just setup a squid server using the above software. NTLM authentication works 90% of the time with no user intervention. I'm noticing that occasionally I'm getting a popup asking for a username and password. I've looked that the winbind logs, and the only thing I notice is: [2003/12/17 14:38:00, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_group.c:winbindd_getgroups(959) user 'root' does

I've worked with Samba 3 in an Active Directory environment. Now it's time to learn Openldap and eventually migrate an existing Active Directory domain. Looking for a good How To or Guide for Openldap, Samba 3, and Debian Woody. The State of Alaska is evaluating File & Print Server standards as they are moving our IT into an Entrprise wide system (consolidating all departmental IT).

In a discussion with one of the main answer people, of whose time I am greatly appreciative, it was suggested that some of my problem (or solution) may be to run Samba on a distro that's better suited for it. Problem is, I don't have the time nor the inclination to download a bunch of distros just to install, test, fdisk, repeat. So I ask. what is a recommended recent distro that works

So here is the setup now: pam worknig, ldap working, samba working, passwd sync works great both ways (linux accounts > win accouns; win > lin). I'm useing another domain name for the new pdc. Today i tried to migtrate all the accounts from the Win2k PDC and i got into problems. I changed in smb.conf the domain name to the one of the win PDC , joind my samba intro the domain and did a

Hi all, to raise the bug vs success ratio i'd like to express my gratitude to all samba members and those who, though not in-core developers, generously supported noobs like me on this mail list. I've set up an environment two months ago and it has run without glitches or tweaks since then. Now as misusing my family as beta testers has worked out so nicely i will deploy an identical

hi: our company want to use samba3+openldap with singal sign on. we have several branches.people would travel arround head quarter and branches with their notebooks. so we don't have roaming users, but we do have roaming computers. we want to use a single domain for every site, and we want every site keep working even when wan link is broken. my plan below: 1. place

Hi all, I am newbie on this and I couldn't figure out what I have configured wrong. I have setup three Linux Debian Sarge servers with openldap2 + samba3. PDC and master ldap on one machine and BDC slave ldap on the other two. I followed instructions on http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html to set them up. I am using utilities smbldap-passwd.pl from idealx for

Hi, I tried to upgrade samba on a Linux from 2.2.8a to 3.0.0, and after the upgrade the printer sharing fails. I would like to participate in the search for the bug (if it is a bug), but I don't know how to start. If this is not a bug I would like to know why not, and how to work around, that the printer does not work with the attached smb.conf, while it works with samba version 2.2.8a

Hi there, I would like to build a _simple_ server for sharing files, using Samba3. I use FreeBSD5, the machine works well with ldap, nss_switch, pam_ldap. Users can login (ssh) using the ldap account : perfect. Now i want them to access some file/shares using SMB with Samba3, using their LDAP account. BUT : **I don't want to turn this simple server into a PDC machine** This would be

Hi, we have a Samba 3.0.24 server on a Fedora Core 5 system and we use it as PDC. I have client machines with Windows XP SP2. What I want: - some machines (for example machine1) should be used only by user1 and user2 - allow user3 to use ONLY some machines (for example machine2) I tried the following: [global] include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m invalid users = user3 here's the

Hi folks, I have been able to migrate a WinNT4 domain to a Samba3 PDC domain using openldap as a backend and smbldap-tools to vampire the WinNT4 domain (pretty much following Samba3 by Example and documentation in smbldap project by IDEALX). Nevertheless, all 600 users migraged from the WinNT4 domain have attributes like these on the ldap database: userPassword: {crypt}x

Hi, I had a Debian woody server with samba as PDC with LDAP backend in the same box, and mixed windows clients (98, XP, etc). The clients accessed a 75MB MS Access database (.mdb) that was put in a Samba share. Everything was fast... everything was good... But, last week I decided to upgrade to debian Sarge, so as you know Samba was upgraded to Samba3 too (3.0.14a), and now if a user tries to

Hi , I'm using RH9, and I have compiled samba 3.0.1 compiled from sources, with the following options: ./configure --with-winbind --with-winbind-auth-challenge --with-pam \ --with-acl-support --with-ldapsam --with-pam_smbpass \ --with-ads --with-ldap --with-dce-dfs --with-smbwrapper --enable-pam net ads join -S server.domain.com -U support worked fine. I started winbindd.

Hello, I've been looking at Samba 3.0 with a view to an eventual upgrade to help us meet some new security requirements. I've downloaded and compiled the source on the target machine. A test user account has been created and stored using a tdb file. I have set and verified the following using pdbedit: minimum password age 60 (seconds) maximum password age 3600 (seconds)

Hi, in my local network i have two samba server (2.2.8a) : [samba-2.2.8a-ldap PDC and OpenLDAP server]-> contains scripts,policies [samba-2.2.8a-ldap File server] -> contains data (160GB) Recently i upgrade PDC to samba 3.0.12 and OpenLDAP server(2.2.23).
