Hi, Could someone explain, why was parameter "domain admin group" removed from samba3? passdb/pdb_ldap got totally rewritten... but why remove an useful variable... # Removed Parameters (order alphabetically): # * domain admin group In 2.2.8 (with LDAP backend) I defined domain admin group = @"Domain Admins" and added several users to that group for creating machine

Hi, I want to achieve, that the IT staff could add machines (2000/XP) to samba-3 (LDAP backend) on the fly. Creating a new machine account to LDAP requires special access to samba (uid=0). In samba-2.2.x was a great parameter called "domain admin group". So everyone, who belonged to the specified group and root (uid=0) could modify LDAP. Others got message - "cannot access LDAP

Hi, In smbldap-useradd.pl is a pice of code, which find the first unused uid starting from $UID_START (for example 1000). if (!defined($userUidNumber)) { # find first unused uid starting from $UID_START while (defined(getpwuid($UID_START))) { $UID_START++; } I've over 500 UID's in use (maximum UID is 1547). It works well, until you delete an user. After deleting an user,

When samba password has been expired, user are force to change their password from client WS. Samba will modify sambaPwdMustChange attribute and the value seems always "2147483647", this not happen when changin password with smbpasswd. >From where samba calculate value for "sambaPwdMustChange"? is it constant? Is it possible to specify different value? Tks.

I suggest to add this line also to samba-pdc help. But still I ran into problems. I fixed the passdb lines on PDC and BDC. If the second server (on PDC slave-ldap and on BDC

Help!! I have been using tbdsam as a backend and I have been unable to get the pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 3 to be enforced. When I set the attribute it seems that I can try to login as many times as I want. Any help out there? Terrance

Hi ! I was just wondering if that piece of code was important (for security and such), because I had to comment it in smbldap.c before compiling samba-3.0; otherwise, I would have errors like: "(Insufficient access)smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root" #ifndef NO_LDAP_SECURITY if (geteuid() != 0) { DEBUG(0, ("smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP

Hi, I've a samba-3.0.2a running perfectly on redhat-8. Filesystem is EXT3 with ACL support. I can't upgrade the PDC to 3.0.3 or 3.0.4, because shares are only read-only. In 3.0.3 only home share and temp share are writable. All other shares are in read-only mode. Users can see the files/directories, but can't save anything or create new items. When trying to create a new item -

Hi all: I've been developing and testing on a tdm400p card and it's been going well. As you probably know, the tdm400p needs an ide power supply, but the dell poweredge 2600 that this card is destined for eventually has all the power supplied on the backplane with no ide cables. The thing is, on the motherboard in the server, there is an ide ribbon connector, and beside that, something

I've been banging my head into a wall over this one... Yesterday, we had a big fire down the block, so the city chopped the power to our whole block for a few hours, and the Asterisk box didn't shut down properly, just died when the UPS ran out. So I power it back up when I got in, and everything seemed to check out OK, except that when I dialed in to the system, or tried to connect

For the last year or so i have been having problems in general with samba (various versions) on the same box. Dell 2500 Xeon 1.8 with 2gb of ram running Redhat 8. What will happen from time to time (although its now happened 3 times in the last 5 days, hence this email) is people will be slow to log in, if at all. Several things appear to happen. The main one is that a smbd process which

Hi, is there a way to force password complexity on NT4 style domains? the "samba-tool domain passwordsettings" seems to only work on DC mode, right? Boris

Howdi, I can't add a w2k workstation to samba3 domain with my username. If I add my username to "admin users" list, then I can add the box to domain (but overritten by euid). My goal is, that joining domain can be done without using "admin users" option. Groupmapping is done and works. When machine is in domain and log in, I get full admin rights on that box. Removing the

Hello, I?m currently having a problem where a non-root user can?t change his/her own password using smbpasswd command after the password expiration and would like to know how I could solve this problem. Currently, I have a samba server running on CentOS 6.5 with its passdb backend configured to another LDAP server. The samba version I?m currently using is samba-3.6.9-169 which should be the

I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort! I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved away from NT 4: Password Expiration. In the past I have posted questions about this on the list and I've gotten two answers: "Wait for

Hi there. Recently upgraded from 2.2.9 to 3.05 everything is working great except for one small snag. I noticed it when working on the unattended Win2k installation, when it was copying a more than 8 Character Folder. Normally and certainly on 2.2.9 it would truncate the file name say from DellDrivers to DellDr~1 and would still work. However, it was truncating the file name to D1DRER~B (or

Brief history, originally setup as Ubuntu 7.10. Upgraded to 8.04.1LTS, Samba 3.0.28 and has latest updates installed as of this morning. Currently Samba is configured to use smbpasswd for passdb backend. As tdbsam has become the peferred backend, would like to migrate to tdbsam. When I attempt "pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tbdsam" I get the following result: "No builtin backend found,

Appologies if this has been asked before, i have searched the archives and while there are some almost related issues, none really answer my question/problem. Recently (about 4 months ago) we purchased a new Dell 2600 (2.0Ghz Xeon 2GB Ram), Machine (single cpu) and migrated the data and system from rh 6.2 to 8 on this new server. By migrate i mean Installed rh8 fresh and moved the user data
