A number of weeks ago I had huge help from many of you configuring routing on a server with multiple Internet facing nics. Thanks for all of your help!!!! I am still having a routing issue that I am hoping someone can help me tweek. This server, besides acting as our gateway to the internet, is also our web and email server. The server has 4 nics. Two are connected to the internet and the

Hi, I'm trying to build a PDC and BDC to elimenate Windows NT on a network and have load balancing and fault tolerence for users. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 on two servers, working with openldap 2.0.23 with a master and a slave. Replication on LDAP servers works fine. I've set up a domain controller and wanted to set the other server as BDC in case the PDC goes down. Each time i put

Hi all, I know this is not ldap list, but I'm setting SAMBA LDAP BDC; I think many of you have experience with this. I setup a replica, I haven't done the following I followed 1. http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP/ReplicationOverSSLConfigureOpenLDAP 2. http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP/ReplicationOverSSLSlaveServer 3.

Hi list, I'm getting stuck at the replication part for my BDC. Could someone familiar with OpenLDAP replication shed some light? I'm sure that password is correct Thanks for taking a look at! 1. slapd.conf (master) # $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.23.2.8 2003/05/24 23:19:14 kurt Exp $ # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # # include

Hi all! This is a repost to this list, hoping to draw some extra attention because I got NO reply whatsoever to the original posting :( I would really appreciate if someone could comment om which of both strategies as described below is best. I am having some trouble with a samba domain distributed over 2 subnets (192.168.0.0/23 (supernetted) & 192.168.4.0/24). These subnets are

Hi, After lots of struggle and rtfm I finally got most things running, except for 'nmblookup' and 'net getlocalsid' on the BDC. I'm not new to Samba, but plenty more to learn. Here's the setup in summary: system pdc is the PDC on subnet 192.168.0.0, running SuSE10.1, LDAP master, wins server, domain master browser, no iptables; system bdc is the BDC on subnet 192.168.2.0,

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi people. I have finally my PDC+BDC running with LDAP+replicaon different subnets. My doubts are simple, I want to understand a little more about BDC. My network is this: Domaine Name=DOMA Networks:NET-A 192.168.40.0/24 NET-B 192.168.50.0/24 PDC=192.168.40.2 BDC=192.168.50.2 wins server = PDC As u can see, both serves exist on different subnets,I want to

Hi, Does someone know how will all my client machines find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running Samba with LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. The replication on all domain controllers are perfect. I went as far as making BDC

Hi, Maybe this was asked many time (although can't find it on google). Let's assume 2 scenarios: 1) I've got local network where PDC and BDC are set up. PDC is working fine so the BDC is. When it's possible for any XP client to use BDC instead of PDC? I read in samba docs that if PDC is slow client can use BDC - but what does it mean slow for the client? How the client knows

Hi all, I have a BDC which uses the LDAP backend of my PDC. Unfortunately all the users who log-in in the morning and who are processed by this BDC, do not get their logon script executed. The BDC logs this error message: [2013/05/24 07:28:11.946577, 2] auth/auth.c:304(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [foobar] -> [foobar] -> [foobar] succeeded

I have a question about setting up a samba BDC (with a samba PDC). I am running Samba as the PDC on a small network. Other Unix boxes on the network are running with: security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = 192.168.1.5 So they make use of the PDC for smbmount and smbsh applications. The W2K box also uses Samba at the PDC. I want to set up a Redhat

Hi all, I have this question, I ve got a master LDAP server on a remote place and i want to install a PDC and a BDC and a slave ldap server in other place. Mi question is... may I force de WorkStations logging (read the information )against the BDC first than PDC, so the READ trafic goes to the Slave Ldap??? The problem is the network avoid READ traffic. In the Samba FAQ recomends that the:

If I configure a samba PDC and then a samba BDC, do I need a machine trust account for the BDC? That is, do I have to run "net rpc join" on the BDC? Or manually create the account for the BDC in LDAP? -- Mariano Absatz - "El Baby" el.baby at gmail.com www.clueless.com.ar

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK.

For the last few years, we have had a NT4 PDC (without a BDC). This week I undertook the process of builing a Samba BDC running Debian linux. This new BDC is running samba version 3.0.7. After setting up the box, I copied all of the user, group, and machine accounts over to the new bdc, using "net rpc vampire". The BDC is up and running and I see everybody authenticating against it.

I am hoping someone can help here. I noticed a really odd issue. WINS resolution doesn't seem to work between my PDC and BDC, both Samba 3.0.14a boxes running on Debian. I have nsswitch.conf configured properly, I think. Here are the nsswitch.conf settings. PDC: hosts: files dns wins BDC: hosts: files dns wins On the BDC, I have the parameter wins server = 192.168.0.2, the address

Hi, I am having problems getting winbind on a BDC to work in a Samba3 /LDAP Enviornment and have one straightforward question. Should the secrets.tdb file on the BDC contain an entry with the name of the BDC , e.g. where BACKUP is the name of the BDC ?. { key = "SECRETS/SID/BACKUP" data =

All, I help run a school and we have a samba domain (no windows servers). I am however fearful of something happening and creating a school-wide outage if my PDC goes down. What is all involved in creating a BDC and to connect to my PDC? In addition, I have another question about pdc / bdc and user data. With a PDC/ BDC infrastructure set up, am I supposed to have all the data (homes drives,

Hi, We are using a PDC (Primary LDAP) and BDC (Replica LDAP). Changing password on PDC works fine, but no way when users are logged on BDC. The truth is that PDC and BDC are configured with passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/. The users get the message like "You are not allowed to change password" or "You can not change password at this time" when they want to
