Hello When I am trying to access a share on Samba PDC from a workstation in trusted domain (bidirectional trust) and the client says "Unexpected network error expected" after asking me for username and password for the share (which I enter correctly). What can be the problem? Cl< # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/11/19 15:51:41 #

Hello With smb.conf below, samba 3.0.1pre3 is capable of connecting to itself by smbclient -L oberon <empty_password>. Also domain logons work. With 3.0.1rc1 it just writes bash-2.05b# smbclient -L oberon Password:<empty> tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF) bash-2.05b# smbclient --version Version 3.0.1rc1 bash-2.05b# smbd --version Version 3.0.1rc1 bash-2.05b# which

I have samba-3.0.2 with tdbsam (I don't remember why I moved on to tdbsam from smbpasswd but something in the past must have required it). When trying to add trusting domain according to Samba HOWTO Collection, page "clxxxvii" (why the heck the pages have such strange Roman hashes instead of numbers?): oberon root # smbpasswd -a -i KEVF_D1 New SMB password: Retype new SMB password:

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

Hi everybody, i have discovered following problem. System suse 9.2 pdc samba 3.0.20b ldap. a system user which was in the group Domain Admins ( as secondary group of course ) , cannot be removed from the group, by usrmgr ( in real ldap the user gets deleted ! ) If the user account gets deleted completly and recreated it is shown again in the domain admins group.( which isnt so in ldap ) This

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

Heya all, So I've finally got a machine on this Samba 3 domain. Yey. Its an XP Pro box, so I grabbed the UsrMgr.exe and SrvMgr.exe programs from Microsoft, and hoped to at least use UsrMgr to see lists of users, maybe even as a full User manager, since I can't find a decent one that does all the samba3 stuff. Anyway, I'm on the domain, and I run the UsrMgr.exe program and I get an

Hi Samba users, First I can't open/create local group with usrmgr. Second creating global group and user is working, [third] but adding users to this [global] group failed.. I do this as yaya that has policy rights for everything, like "Domain Admins" has, and when I do it as root, it still doesn't work. Here's some infos: [root@sma-server-1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba

I was experiencing the same problems as detailed below. I found that my OpenLDAP Samba (samba.schema) in /etc/ldap/schema was out of date; I have now replaced it with the latest version from the Samba source (3.0.23d). The correct number of domain groups are now reported with 'net rpc info' and the groups are visible from the Windows XP dialog boxes and USRMGR. Regards, Jon

Hello: I have set up samba PDC using samba 3.0.11. When I use the usrmgr.exe tool on NT4 machine to add user to the domain, it prompts and says: "The following error occurred changeing properties of the user mary: fail find the group" (The error msg actually appears as Chinese in my computer, I just translate the error message). Then I check with the samba log file and it said: group

Hi everyone. I have a problem when using samba together with usrmgr. When adding a global group I get an error message. The group is still created. You can't see before you refresh but that's a minor detail.

hi folks, i hope you can help me!!! i'm using samba v3.0.14a (sernet) on debian sarge. openldap v2 is my backend, smbldap-tools 0.8.4 (patched for our organization). when adding a user via usrmgr.exe to an existing domain group i get the following error: [in usrgmr] The following error occured changing the properies of the user xxx User does not belong to this group [in smbd.logs]

Hi, We are running samba 3.0.28 on RHEL 5 as a PDC serving around 1000 active users . This domain was vampired from aWindows NT 4 domain a few years ago. OpenLDAP 2.2.13 is used as the back end user database. One of the problems we have is that usrmgr.exe does not display any groups. I can use usrmgr to create users, delete users and create groups. But I cannot use it to delete groups

Hi, I've now got my Samba 3 domain successfully configured apart from a minor detail. When I use USRMGR to try and add a new user I get "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". About 10 minutes ago I successfully joined this machine to the domain and tested that the server correct adds all my details to the LDAP server. I'm confused, if you tell

I am running samba 3.0.0. When using USRMGR most functionality works, but I can't get it to create a group. If I run the script by hand, it creates the UNIX group and echos out the GID. In Windows the error message is: "The following error occured creating the global group groupname: The group name could not be found" The delete user and delete group functions work, but give an
