Hi samba list, I'm using samba 3(.0.13) with OpenLDAP and I have a strange problem: the variables %U and %G don't seem to be replaced by their values. I get nothing in my logs, so I don't know where is the problem... In fact, in my smb.conf, I have something like: logon home = logon path = \\server\profiles\prof.%G logon drive = h: The profiles are loaded if I use logon

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba.

I have quite a few samba installations, and I've had problems with roaming profiles when upgrading from Samba 2.2 to 3.0. My servers run Debian stable, which uses Samba 2.2.3, with security patches. At some point Debian will release a new stable version with a recent Samba 3.0 release. Right now I'm testing a few servers with a samba 3.0.10 backport to make sure the transition will go

I'm finally near the end (I hope) of setting samba 3.0.14a as a PDC on a debian sarge, but I (and google, and list archive) can't manage to find a solution. When I add user with the help of usrmgr on my XP box, user is created both in linux and samba (thanks user add script), but lacks profile info (I mean Home Directory, HomeDir Drive, Logon Script and Profile Path), so roaming profile

Hi All, I have just upgraded from Samba 3.0.7 to 3.0.20 on mandrake 10.1 Before upgrading I could add a machine account and admin (root) user to the password backend, join to the domain and check the trust secret. All was well. wbinfo -a name%password would authenticate, as I require for ntlm_auth with squid (which was working well). Now with the same layout, I do this :- Add unix account

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

Dear Samba Friends, I've a problem to join with Windows2000-Clients a Samba-PDC. When I join the samba-pdc with a WinNT4.0-Client it is no problem, first I create a machine-account for the machine: 1. in /etc/group exists the group: machines:x:515: 2. useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c nickname -s /bin/false neuch205$ 3. pdbedit -a -m -u neuch205 In this way, it isn't a problem to join

Hi I have a problem with samba 3.0.5pre1. Many of my users are disabled by samba and I can't find the reason why.

Hello Group, I've been reading many posts but i still don't have the answer to how to force a password change or set a password lifetime. I'm using w2k clients which connect to a samba PDC version 3.0.10 on a basic SunOS 5.8 system, no ldap or so. syncing the ux-passwords and the smb-passwords works perfect, but i can't get it working to force users to change passwords.

Hi Everyone, Looking for that little extra bit of explanation about Primary groups, SID's and GID's. Just to help me over that final little understanding hurdle...

I need to set it so that I can connect to
