Everything that I can find on the web says I should set the following to expire my users passwords after 28 days.: pdbedit -v -P 'minimum password age' -C 300 pdbedit -v -P 'maximum password age' -C 2419200

Hi guys, I've installed openldap-2.1.25 and Samba-3.0.2 and configured everything with no TLS on a Slackware-9.1 Linux box. To manage the LDAP backed I've used smbldap-tools-0.8.4. After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be

Hi guys, Unfortunately this is still happening I've tried restarting Samba. Users who should be denied access after 21:00 are being denied access at 19:00. Our time zone in South Africa is GMT+2. Perhaps I should set the timezone on the server to UTC/GMT ? Do you think this will help ? Should I then leave the time set to the current time in South Africa ? Or should I set the time to the

More information on my problem below. It seems that users that were only meant to kicked off at 21:00 were kicked off at 19:00. I've checked the time and timezone on the Linux server and all seems correct. I think I've messed up something somewhere to do with Samba and time and Logon Hours restrictions. Please point me in the right direction. Many thanks David Wilson From: "David

Hi guys, Another quick question: I'm running Samba-3.0.9 with an LDAP backend. User logon restrictions, in terms of allowed logon hours are set by using NT's "User Manager.exe" which connects to the Samba controlled domain. The restrictions appear to work OK except when there are multiple rules for the logon hours. .e.g Logon restrictions work pefectly if the logon time is:

Hi guys, I use "veto files = /.mp3/.mpg/" etc. on the [homes] share to prevent users from storing media files on a Samba server in the home directories. My client now wishes to make this restriction apply to users who are members of only certain groups. E.g. This restriction must apply to users who are members of the "Students" group and not apply to users in the

Hi all, How are things going ? Is there a way for me to individually identify each BRI channel on the Sirrix quad BRI board. The reason I ask is because our client uses the "Asterisk Flash Operator Panel" to monitor its external lines and transfer calls from the lines to the various SIP phones. The "Flash Operator Panel" requires that we set a static value for each line or

Hi guys and girls, A client of mine is seriously investigating migrating their 7 NT servers and 3000+ users to Linux running Samba. I've read one or two documents so far about the migration, but I'm still a little unclear about a number of things. When you have a chance I'd really appreciate your guidance on the following items. 1.) LDAP, /etc/passwd or MySQL backend (if supported).

Hi guys, How are you ? We have a share named [userprofile] on our Samba-3.0.9 server where each users' profile is stored. Fairly often a user which is not the user that owns the profile i.e and admin, needs to copy files into other users' profile folders. The problem which then arises is that the user who owns the profile is unable to access the new files, due to the UNIX permissions
