I purchased the Samba 3.0 book and it has gotten me pretty far but I finally had to go to the mailing list for this problem. Here is the issue, I am running Debian (woody) with samba 3.0.1-2 and cupsys 1.1.14-5 I have also installed cupsys-bsd cupsys-client and smbclient foomatic-bin and as2ps follwing this http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html advice. Samba is running in Domain mode

Have 4 harddrives hde,hdg etc all of these drives are mounted in samba. When i copy file from one drive to another i notice that server sends the file to my computer and then back to itself (into the right place). The file will be copied but doing so it will eat half of my network bandwith. Is it possible to aviod this? Best Regards Patrick Betfjord

Hi all, I've got some problems with vista sp1 + samba 3.0.28a vista will not save the profiles nor load them. ! I'm all familiar with the .V2 thing. vista however does create the "profilename.V2" directory, but does not populate it with the data Xp machines work like a charm however. profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuser so the problem with the .V2 part is

Dear all, I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a lot of users and machines are missing ! Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly well. The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a new server... TECHNICAL DETAILS : * Samba 3.3.10 * Number of machines : * Unix : 128 machines * pdbedit

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

I have recompiled pdbedit 3.0.2 with -g flag to be able to list sources from gdb when debugging pdbedit and discovered some more info but don't know how to interpret it: (gdb) frame 1 #1 0x0806c899 in init_sam_from_buffer (sampass=0x81b8c28, buf=0x81b8d78 "", buflen=208) at passdb/passdb.c:1462 1462 SAFE_FREE(domain); (gdb) print domain $8 = 0x10000 <Address

Dear Samba Users, I have a Samba 3.2.5 Server running on Debian. I use tdbsam as a password database and wonder how I can change the "Workstations" value in order to control the allowed workstations for a particular user. Last year I had a configuration with ldap using the smbldap tools where it was possible to set this value. But how can I set it without LDAP just using pdbedit?

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

Hi everyone... Can somebody help me? I've sent this last Sunday but nobody has replied.

Thank you very much for your answer. It's the default, internal backend. (smbpasswd) a) If I do : tdbdump schannel_store.tdb dump | grep BWPC |grep SECRET | wc I get 95 machines (this number looks good). b) smbpasswd is a text file that looks good. c) I can also do "tdbdump secrets.tdb dump" Thanks a lot in advance for any advice, Denis Le 15.12.2014 22:00, Gaiseric

Hi ! This is my firs post here. I've got a problem with password history policy -C 3 which doesn't work !! I set policy pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 777600 (90days) pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 691200 (80days) "user must logon to change password" -C 2 "password history" -C 3 On clients (XP PRO) some of people

Who wins the fight for the roaming profile path, "logon path" in smb.conf or "profile path" set by pdbedit? How do you force the "profile path" in pdbedit to get its value from "logon path" in smb.conf? Is it possible to disable roaming profiles by user with pdbedit and leave "logon path" set in smb.conf? Thanks.

Dear All, I've been using rsync with stunnel with success for a while now, but I'm not necessarily satisfied with it, i.e. having an extra layer externally and all, no authentication against SSL-subjects .. I had a look at the patch included with the source, and it doesn't quite address everything related to SSL, i.e. forcing SSL, verify options etc. are all missing - besides,

Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password"

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000. But when I do: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -m -u somemachinename -U 3000 It does not work as you would think. The account is created but with the RID of the Unix UID*2+1000 not, a RID of 3000 as specificed on the command line. And

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from a SME server to an Ubuntu 10.04 Domain names are the same (domain SID already retrieved) example User john on SME server has SID S-1-5-21-1222067456-3914006320-3959678504-11026 User john on Ubuntu server has SID S-1-5-21-1222067456-3914006320-3959678504-3010 Not to loose Windows profiles, I'm trying to modify john's SID on Ubuntu server : pdbedit -u

dear list, in the output of pdbedit -L -v heupink I'm getting these errors: convert_string_allocate: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(???p? ????????) Any ideas where to look..? Are these serieus errors..? (it looks as if the errors occur BEFORE the actual ldap connection is opened, so I guess they're not ldap related...) My samba is 3.0.14a, and system is sles9 Below find

hi list, we want to migrate all our users from smbpasswd into ldap, but first test it so the current samba server in production should not be changed. to achieve this i created a smb.conf file with the following content: --- [smb.conf] [global] workgroup = mpi netbios name = sandy01 netbios aliases = sandy02 sandy03 interfaces = 10.4.0.106/255.255.0.0 bind interfaces only = yes socket

the testparm command will show you the location of the password file and the backend type e.g. smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd passdb backend = tdbsam The backend file should be a TDB database file , not a plain text file (unless left over from an older version.) You may have users or computers with duplicated SIDs. You should also use "getent
