similar to: Samba LDAP multiple servers

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

I need to migrate my current LDAP/SMB PDC to a new server. I found the information on how to replace an existing server with a new system with the same name, but in my case, I still need the existing system to continue as a slave LDAP/SMB BDC. I used slapcat to get the ldap database, and then used this ldif to create the new ldap database on the new server. Linux logins work fine. I used

I hope that someone can let me know what I have done wrong. I need to replace and existing server (server1) with a new server (server2). Server1 is currently running LDAP/Samba (3.0.14). Profiles stored in /opt/samba/profiles I installed all of the pieces, and LDAP works (mostly, I have an issue, see below) I ran net getlocalsid DOMAINNAME on server1 used the SID value in net setlocalsid

I am following Chapter 6 of Samba-3 By Example to set up Samba on a Fedora 3 box. It seems to go Ok until page 144 step 5. # net getlocalsid [2005/05/02 00:22:04, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_search_suffix(1155) smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search: (No such object) SID for domain SIROCCO is: S-1-5-21- etc Running the same command with some debugging: # net -d 2 getlocalsid

Hello, I'm lloking for a way to convert my company's existing samba2.2 ldap backed service to samba 3.0. What's particulary making me curious is the sambaSID. As I've read it is the unique identifier of a PDC in the windows world. So, how does samba3 generate this? Is it supposed to be changed by the admin or is it determined by samba on the first startup? Any pointer to a doc

Hi, After lots of struggle and rtfm I finally got most things running, except for 'nmblookup' and 'net getlocalsid' on the BDC. I'm not new to Samba, but plenty more to learn. Here's the setup in summary: system pdc is the PDC on subnet 192.168.0.0, running SuSE10.1, LDAP master, wins server, domain master browser, no iptables; system bdc is the BDC on subnet 192.168.2.0,

Hi Folks, I had a crack at setting up a Samba PDC using a fresh installation of FDS 1.2.4 as the backend on one of our RHEL 5.3 servers per the Wiki Howto:Samba but ran into a few issues. In the section 'Populating FDS with PDC Entry', it instructs the user to run 'net getlocalsid'. This results in the following: [root at mybox logs]# net getlocalsid

Hi all, I'm using SAMBA with LDAP as my PDC but after I join a workstations Windows XP to the domain, I can't authenticate any user with this workstation, It gives the fallowing error when I press ctrl+alt+del and try to logon: "The system can't authenticate the user. Check if the user and password is correct then retype them press ok" etc..... In the server, I can see the

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

Hello I have a client who historical had a machinename with an underscore in it : samba_machine I had to get rid of the underscore names and changed the name to samba-machine. At the same time I upgraded to samba-3.0.11 to get a printer queue problem resolved. Now it seems the Domain SID has changed, so I changed the new SID back to the old one with net setlocalsid, because on all machines I had

Hi, I've configured the SambaSID of my domain manualy with "net setlocalsid S-1-...." I've done a check with "net getlocalsid" and everything seems to be ok, but when I add a new user with smbpasswd, his sambaSID doesn't correspond to the Domain SambaSID ! And in the LDAP directory, the sambaSID of the sambaDomain ObjectClass doens't correspond to the officiel

Hi, I'm a tad confused about something. I've got a production instance of Samba running. I am trying to get a test version running on the same box, with the same SID. Without the test server running, I used "net setlocalSID <oldsid>" (the net binary is the one for the new server). Then when I issued 'net getlocalsid' it returned it. I thought I was fine.

I have a domain with Samba 3 acting as PDC, and using LDAP (passdb backend = ldapsam). I now wanted to add a second Samba 3 machine as a simple file server. I get errors with getdomainsid and getlocalsid, so there is obviously still something wrong with my config. The PDC runs Samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. Sid queries return: # net getdomainsid SID for local machine MY_PDC_HOST is:

Hello, Is it possible to get the SID of a domain different than the one your server is in? e.g.: net getlocalsid ==> gives you the sid of the domain your server is in. but suppose you would like to know the SID of another domain. net getlocalsid DOMAIN2 ==> samba3 does not give the SID [root@server root]# net getlocalsid DOMAIN2 [2003/09/29 11:59:04, 0] utils/net.c:net_getlocalsid(414)

Hi, I had a working enviroment of one PDC and several BDCs. The PDC is Samba version 3.6.6. After replacing of one BDC, I've started to get the following error in LDAP master server: Aug 22 13:44:59 gw slapd[28598]: conn=46129 op=51 do_search: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=Administrator,(null)) and on the PDC: root@:~# net getlocalsid smbldap_search_domain_info: Adding domain info for XXX

I have Samba 3.0.0rc1 installed on a linux server DC-01 and it's configured as a PDC. The only share it has is netlogon. Users are stored in an LDAP passdb. All our users' home directories are on a second linux server, FS-01. It's been joined to the domain (command "sudo net join -U Administrator", which is the name of the "root" account). And here's a

Hello List, we have installed samba Version 3.0.20-0.1-SUSE. when I'm entering > net getlocalsid I get > SID for domain <netbios name> is: S-1-5-21-4166838278-3756557259-2095403906 entering > net getlocalsid <domain name> returns > SID for domain <domain name> is: S-1-5-21-2018781741-1218799122-1862565094 Does this mean that the pdc itself is not in the domain

Hi, I'm trying to get my new samba server running for a few days now and I start losing my mind over not figuring out what I'm doing wrong. Here's my setup: OpenLDAP 2.4.21 server with ~15 groups and >100 users, all having a unix and a samba NT password stored in the LDAP as well as a User SID and Primary Group SID assigned and stored in the LDAP, derived from the SID of the LDAP

I noticed the following: Suppose that we have a server called "SMALLSERVER" working as a PDC for "SMALLDOMAIN**". When I enter "net getlocalsid" I get the following output: SID for domain SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx But when I enter "net getdomainsid" I get: SID for local machine SMALLSERVER is:

Hello and happy new year :) I have to set up a samba server as a PDC with a openldap backend. My openldap server is fully functionnal and it is not secured yet (so no problems with tls). I must use debian etch or lenny. My server's IP is 192.168.9.10/24. I have set up a dns server (bind9) for my domain named "mik". It's a local domain for testing only. There is a piece of
