I have some weird error with one of my samba installation. When modifying samba password using smbpasswd, samba seems trying to add same attribute (instead of delete and add again), pls see the "MOD" from log file (from different domain) : UNSUCESSFULL Mar 15 17:10:53 hurricane slapd[27056]: conn=29489 op=1 MOD dn="uid=pwreka,ou=people,ou=purwakarta,dc=indorama,dc=com" Mar 15

If the first LDAP server faild, the second can be used directly. This server is a PDC server with more than 100 people connected and some application required domain authentification for running.

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

It apparently samba stored trusted info on secret.tdb so only samba PDC was able to retrieve this info, am I correct? (though trust account waqs stored in ldap). I can't browse samba BDC from (trusted) NT domain, it always ask for username/password again. samba domain = IRSJKT NT domain = DOMJKT msg from samba BDC : [2004/03/18 21:16:42, 5] auth/auth_util.c:make_user_info_map(216)

Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated,

Hello I have a network setup with one Samba PDC and two Samba BDCs separated by routers (ref http://www.cybersource.com.au/users/mikef/samba/). In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers. I can't get the Windows XP client to change a

The origine of my message is a problem with my local LDAP server. last thursday I upgraded my RH 8 with the glibc update from RedHAt, after sometimes the LDAP server is unreachable.

hi, until now (about 1 year ago) i was working only with samba3+ldap PDC, but in near future my company enlarge his network with 6 new branchs spreaded all oever the country and i must build a scalable network with Samba-3 PDCs and BDCs, implement LDAP replication and multiple LDAP backends, all this over some VPNs(ipsec) . so, can tell me anyone how work the relationship beetwen a samba3-ldap

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always

Hello! I configured samba BDC according to howto. PDC is in the same subnet. But I see that windows ( at least 2003 servers from the same subnet) sometimes connects to BDC to retrieve info about users. Now I use smbpasswd and machine accounts are in passwd. I'm afraid that will try to change their password too ;-) Could somebody explain me why windows behavoir?

I am in the process of investigating whether it's viable to replace our NT server domain with a linux server domain using SAMBA. The key is if Samba can act as a PDC, with other Samba BDCs in remote locations. Is this possible? ---------------------------------------------- Gabriel Matthews gabriel@cinergycom.com Network Support Cinergy Communications When life hands you

Hi, My doubt is about Idmap + LDAP + winbind, related do BDC + PDC. We are using Samba 3.0.33 (Slackware 12.0.0). Our layout is almost like this one http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/images/chap6-net.png, but we have more BLDGn than this example. Actually, we are taking ideas from http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html and from

Hi, I had a working enviroment of one PDC and several BDCs. The PDC is Samba version 3.6.6.

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

Hi Is it possible to use single LDAP server and multiple samba servers? The problem I'm having now is Each server thinks their host name is their LDAP domain name, or sambaDomainName, and complain the user's SID is different so can't authenticate. How do I make samba servers use one domain name and SID? LDAP domain name is DOMSMB dn: sambaDomainName=DOMSMB,dc=my-domain,dc=com

Software: OS: Redhat 9 Samba Ver: Samba 3.0.0 (Plus excel writelock patch, waiting for 3.0.2!) OpenLDAP Ver: 2.0.27-8 Just a quick question about PDC / BDC interaction, my plan is to distribute Samba (with slave ldap backend) BDCs to remote facilities, as well as have one on each network segment in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary nmb broadcast traffic. My question is this: Will the PDC /
