-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! The experimental pdb modules (pdb_mysql, pdb_pgsql and pdb_xml) have been a bit neglected during the last few releases of Samba 3 as they haven't been actively maintained. I was the original author and maintainer, but I no longer work on Samba 3 and I no longer use any of the modules in production. I'll remove these modules unless

Hello I would like to use plaintext backend with a simple Samba 3.0.6 configuration to get rid of the system of double passwords and rely just on the plain old unix /etc/passwd ones. However I couldn't find any information about it in 1) man smb.conf 2) online Samba official HOWTO I tried putting passdb backend = plaintext into a smb.conf file with security=share and the Samba server

Hi All, Is it possible to vampire across dots in usernames? I got over 1000 accounts with dots in them eg. <firstname>.<lastname> The smbldap-tools (version 0.8.2) don't seem to like adding users and groups with dots in them. Any help much appreciated. Darren

Hi all! I want to thanks all people here for their help, good job guys! :o) And nox, it's my question: I'm using smbldap-tools 0.8.2 from samba.idealx.org.

Hiya. I'm in the middle of (re)developing a authentication system for an internet cafe here in Sydney. By complete accident I discovered the PDB MySQL plugin for samba yesterday in CVS - amazing. Haven't tried this yet (waiting for samba to compile on a really slow machine, heh) but it looks great. Is anybody using this? Would you recommend it for use in a heavy use type

Hello, i updated my samba to version 3.0.20 on a suse 9.2 system. I thought, some new net rpc commands need samba 3.0.13.

Hi all ! In the samba-Howto, i was looking on informations on how to set up both a samba PDC and a samba BDC controller with ldap backend. I can read: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Do not install a Samba PDC on a OpenLDAP slave server... Possible PDC/BDC plus LDAP configurations include: . PDC -> LDAP master server, BDC -> LDAP slave server.

Hiya... Trying to auth users against a mysql database using pdb_mysql. Using samba3.0 from CVS, running as a PDC. Few questions as well: In the "username column:", I'm assuming I need a real unix user here? Can I have a whole bunch of "nt username" users (i.e. non-unix users) in the mysql db to be auth'ed with samba, but they're all using the same unix user?

This has probably been asked before, but where is pdb_mysql.so? Utilizing the current FC2 kernel.org update. -- Raymond

Hiya. Still having fun with his mysql module - it appears to read from the mysql database fine, but I can't seem to add machine accounts (and I can't get too far unless I do this). It might also be my own stupidity too - let me know ;-) I've got a machine called "bbmachine" - without pdb_mysql, I can join the domain no problems. However, I need to rejoin the

I'm trying to use one username and password for both email and samba

Hello everyone, Hello Jelmer, in 3.0.20, it still is not possible to add new users using pdbedit. See bug report at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2531 In 3.0.14a it was possible to copy pdb_sql.c and pdb_mysql.c from 3.0.11 and it worked, but this workaround does not help anymore, as the files seem to be incompatible. Jelmer, could you please have a look at this one? I consider
