similar to: Problem since switching to 3.0.2/3.0.2a

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Hi, I know this issue has already been handled several times, but I couldn?t find any clear description of the procedure. I have Samba 2.2.5 running as a PDC on a RedHat 7.3 box, which I?d like to migrate to 3.0.2a now. Both versions are compiled from source using different prefixes (/usr/local/samba and /usr/local/samba3), so I can still use the old version until I get the new one working.

Hi, I recently upgraded my Samba server from 3.0.2a to 3.0.14a running on Solaris 8. I made the assumption that all my printer definitions would be retained including driver information/files as long as the share containing all the files was still there. Although I still see the actual printers in the list of printers, it seems that they no longer know what drivers they use. When I attempt to

Is there a way to enable user to change password on first signon?

Folks, I have a new build of samba 3.3.0 ( stand alone file server ) which is configured to find all user data in an ldap directory, eg passdb backend = ldapsam. After testing I have confirmed that it all seems to work as it should with a test set of users. Now I need to figure out the best way to migrate the shares and users from the old system ( that used /etc/passwd to store user auth

Hi guys/girls, How are you ? I'm looking at migrating my Samba-3.0.1 server which has the standard tdb backend to Samba-3.0.2a with an LDAP backend. I plan to use nss_ldap too. What would be the best way of doing this ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! when using Samba [4.5.16-Debian] as standalone server in Windows environment to allow certain users to access shares, we are currently using the default tdbsam backend with a bunch of users. We now want to migrate the users from one standalone server to a replacement server.??To migrate the users I expected to able to export the users (incl. passwords) into a file on one server, copy the

Hi, I was having problem with the tdbsam backend in which a particular user got listed twice with pdbedit. (http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg109110.html) Without much hope in fixing it, I am planning to re-generating passdb.tdb on my PDC by: (1)exporting tdbsam to smbpasswd backend (2)delete passdb.tdb (3)re-import smbpasswd to tdbsam backend With the command `

I find Linux to be a nightmare if usernames have capital letters. Some old Windows PDCs that we are vampiring have usernames with capital letters. AFAIK you can't change a windows username Is there a way of telling the vampire to make all usernames lowercase as it imports them? Can I use pdbedit or any other tool to make them lowercase? At the moment I am changing /etc/passwd and the

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

Hello people! I'd like to know about a practical guide which helps to migrate users from a perfect working Samba PDC running with tdbsam backend to a new backend to LDAP. Does "pdbedit -i xxx -e xxx" make all the job? My network is growing and I need a directory service to help find people so I'd like to see a LDAP server running well with Samba without rebuild my user

Hi there, With the new scrutinization by auditors on account policies and auditing, how can Samba be SOX compliant? Using 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 - ldapsam Specifically, a couple of things seem to be lacking: 1) Logon/Logoff times are not being recorded The last logon time recorded in my ldap entries are pre-nt4 migration. 2) Do the Audit Policy values in user manager have any effect? Are

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've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

Hallo, I'm trying to convert smbpasswd to passdb.tdb. cd /etc/samba/private # (where smbpasswd lies) pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb converts all human users, but it converts (or transfers) no machine account. In "smbpasswd" are many entries beginning with (p.e.) mac001$ for these accounts, pdbedit -L -v | grep -i mac shows

Hi All, I am confused. In one of the examples of a PDC, the following smb.conf parameter is given: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m -G users '%u' If you have "passdb backend = tdbsam" and the way to add users to "tdbsam" is "pdbedit -a -u username", what is the purpose of the "add user script"? I am thinking it is to add the user

I have Samba and LDAP up and running, but I'm having problems editing the password policy using pdbedit. (I'm running 3.0.22) I've had a look at the man page for pdbedit but I don't really fully understand what it does in relation to passwd backends. Does pdbedit update just one backend and expect a user to export the updates to other backends? I think I've set up ldap as

We just migrated a small network from a Win2K PDC to Samba, using "net rpc vampire" into a tdbsam backend on a Samba 3.0.2a Linux box. One of the users, let's call him Jon Harker, had the NT username "JHarker". When we ran "pdbedit -v jharker", we saw this: Unix username: JHarker NT username: JHarker Well, that looks wrong - the NT
