similar to: Authenticating to BDC with LDAP backend

Do I need to use winbind between pdc and bdc if I'm using LDAP backend? I have a PDC setup with LDAP master on backend and a BDC with slave LDAP in another building.I'm just having a problem with getting users to authenticate and use the BDC for home directories and exactly how to have W2k clients join the domain.. The BDC is in another building (connected by a slow connection) so it needs

Hello, I can't get my BDC to talk to the LDAP slave running on the same machine. Replication between slave and master works but samba on the BDC doesn't appear to be communicating with the slave LDAP server. Everything off the PDC works fine. -- smb.conf on BDC -- [global] workgroup = WarehamPS encrypt passwords = Yes time offset = 60 time server = Yes

Hello, I found an interesting thing that I don't know if it is a bug, by design or I need to be doing something that I'm not but here goes. My system RedHat 8.0 (1) PDC with LDAP 2.1.23 backend master, (3) BDC with LDAP slave backend. All are Samba 3.0.

Stephanie, Thank you for your help. I tryed what you suggest but no luck.. I get this: root@lnxsrvr2:~# /usr/local/samba/bin/net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup="Domain Admins" rid=512 Can't lookup UNIX group Domain Admins Is there something with initial compiling samba 3.0.0 that would disable this? All the documentation that I've seen makes it look so

Hello, I thought I had this all figured out but I don't. I have a RedHat 8 system using LDAP 2.1.23 as backend to Samba 3.0.0. I wasn't able to get machines to join the domain so I used the debug option in slapd -d 10 to see what Samba was sending the LDAP server. It looked like it was resolving my admin to the guest account. I went back to check groupmap list and got the following error

Not related to joining W2K clients to a domain but the "net" command refuses to work if there is a problem in smb.conf. Even if you run testparm and nothing is wrong. I don't kno if it's the order or whitespaces that causes it to not work. I"ve had to swap out smb.conf several times because I couldn't find the problem why the "net" command wouldn't run.

Hello, It's me again. I'm running Samba 3.0 and LDAP 2.1.23 on a RedHat 8.0 system. I am able to browse shares and home directories. I get a: Logon failure: unknown username or bad password when I try to connect a W2k machine. For Win/95/98 the system already works. I believe it is setup OK I need to work on scripts that work with MMC. I just want a basic connect a w2k machine right

I have yet to get group mapping to work in samba 3.0. Getting very frustrated. I'm using openldap 2.1.23 as the backend database for samba 3.0.0. I've added the base domain groups as posixAccounts to the LDAP database using smbldap-populate.pl. root@lnxsrvr2:/usr/local/etc/openldap# ldapsearch -xv -b "o=30greatneck,dc=home,dc=net" # Administrator, Users, 30GreatNeck, home.net

This is just a quick question, what is the difference between "+" and "@" when using groups for say valid users or write list ex valid users = +staff valid users = @staff -- Kent L. Nasveschuk <kent@wareham.k12.ma.us>

Hello, I just thought I would post this since it may be helpful to others if they run into the same issues I did. I am using Samba 3.0 with openLDAP 2.1.23 as backend db on a Slackware 9 system. This is purely a test system that I need to test at home reliably enough to put into production in a school system. I was getting error messages when I went to run samba/bin/net commands. Couldn't

Hello, Samba 3.0.0/LDAP 2.1.23 RedHat 8.0 After wrestling with the probelem of attempting to join a W2K computer to domain I finally succeded only to run into another problem. First I was not able to use user "administrator" as samba admin alias root to join computers to domain.I needed to create user "root" in LDAP with: uid=root uidNumber=0 gidNumber=0 sambaSID=S-1...1000

Hello, I'm trying to get Winbind to authenticate users that don't have local accounts on a SAMBA BDC. I have (3) BDCs (1) PDC running OpenLDAP 2.1.23 pass backend and Samba 3.0. These are on RedHat 8.0 systems. 3 BDC are also slave LDAP and 1 master directory server on the PDC. I went through the Samba documentation CH21 and made modifications to the BDCs and PDC as follows:

Hello, I have a problem where non-AD systems can no longer connect to Samba shares. Samba 3.5.x servers are a members in AD, Windows 2008R2. This has worked flawlessly since we initiated it a couple years back. This happened to all 3 Samba servers after AD servers were rebooted. My thoughts are it was a Windows update that wrecked the system. Here is a typical setup: Winbind not used Samba

TIA Kent

Hi all, I have a class of Linux/OpenSource newbies and want to explain the origins of Samba as a typical Open Source project. My interest in Samba has grown, as well as my implementation of Samba. I started with 3 users on one server and now have ~2300 users in 10 buildings using Samba w/LDAP backend in a public school district. Anyway, I can give them my perspective, but I want them to know

Hello, Having a problem with trust accounts failing after creation. The following is the system that I'm running Samba on: Fedora Core 2 (compiled from source) Samba 3.0.11 OpenLDAP 2.2.23 BerkeleyDB 4.3.27 Windows 2000 client machine I have a script to add machine trust accounts to LDAP. The first part adds a posix Account and attributes to LDAP, the second uses smbpasswd to add the Samba

Hello, Is it really possible that just the user root with the samba password can join workstations into the domain? I have also some other users who are domain administrator, but with this users i can't join any workstations into the domain. This is mor me a important security point, because I want to give some people the acces right to join workstations into domain and only this function.

I can't speak about whether or not this is a good practice, but I recently removed an intermediate organization from my LDAP tree. It was great as a logical entity but in practice it added an another layer to an already complex structure. I've had a great deal of experience with Novell that allows many layers to a directory structure through NDS. It can become very confusing to the
