I've been having this problem on one of my PDC's where when using usrmgr from a windows box, I get the error: The group name could not be found. Since all of the groups samba is interested in exist and since they are all mapped to the appropriate posix groups I'm not sure where to start with this one. A 'net rpc group list' gives the following: Domain Guests Domain Admins

Hello, First of all, I would like to say that this is my third attempt to make Samba working as PDC. On the very beginning I had a problem with machine account, but after group mapping and cleaning group maps, I was able to add it from command line - using smbpasswd (according to this point, I would like to ask: "machine" unix group is only allowed for machines? Am I not able to

I'm having problems adding users with usrmgr. I can run the scripts from my smb.conf fine from command line and do what I need to. But, when adding users with usrmgr, the login script and path statements are not identified and I have to go in and edit them manually. Does adding a user with usrmgr not use the add user script from Samba? Or must the user environment variables be added

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

Hello Is here anybody who is able to manage his NT4.0 domain on hid Samba 3 PDC with User Manager for Domains?

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

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 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

I am having troubles getting the user manager to add users. It gives me an incorrect parameter. I am using samba 3.0 final. I am also using the tdbsam backend. I noticed in pdbedit it does not have the [u ] under account flags. It adds the user, but it does not show up in the user manager for domains (but it gets put inside of the pwdb and /etc/passwd) here is my config. log

PLEASE HELP!! I have got strange problem on samba-3.0.28-0.fc7 with logon hours and passwords policies .I use tdbsam backend. After changing time form winter to summer client's (windows XP) cannot login after 8:00AM ( time zone Warszawa/Poland UTC ). Linux and windows clients correctly changed time to summer (+1 hour)!!.

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.

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

Hello, I am trying to find and easy way for end users to add Samba accounts to a Linux server. Some of my end users are schoot teachers, and they have to add tens of students to their Samba servers. I have a running Linux with Samba, configured upon the directions of Samba-3 by example, chapter 3, "Secure Office Networking", this is Samba with tdbsam, not LDAP. I can create accounts

i built a samba/ldap pdc. i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser. it was made by a 'net rpc vampire' because i have to migrate from an NT4 domain. so if i understand well, 'net rpc vampire' creates unix groups with blank spaces but shouldnt ? unix groups are at the right of the groupmap list ? exact ? Do i have to correct unix groups in the ldap base and put

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase
