similar to: matching UIDs to RIDs when converting from Windows to Samba

I'm trying to grasp pg. 154 of the "Official SAMBA-3" book by Terpstra and Vernooij and I'm just missing a critical networking concept. I understand that SIDs are the numerical identification of a user for the Windows world. I understand that UIDs are the equivalent for the *nix world. But what the @$@! is a Relative IDentifier (RID)?!? On page 153 the command to map a

I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups

Why does ZFS report such small directory sizes? For example, take a maildir directory with ten entries: total 2385 drwx------ 8 17121 vmail 10 Jun 8 23:50 . drwx--x--x 14 root root 14 May 12 2006 .. drwx------ 5 17121 vmail 5 May 25 18:16 .Trash drwx------ 5 17121 staff 6 Jun 9 00:01 .testing -rw------- 1 17121 staff 0 Jun

Hi developers i have noticed a spelling mistake when you execute a net groupmap add command. For example bash# net groupmap add unixgroup=uni-staff-planningfinance ntgroup=uni-staff-planningfinance type=domain comment='All Planning and Finance Staff' No rid or sid specified, choosing algorithmic mapping Successully added group uni-staff-planningfinance to the mapping db You

Hi, I'm trying to set up one of my users to be a domain admin. I have unix/ldap group called "domainadm" with "user1" a member of the group. When I run "net groupmap list" I get the following: Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-186220259-3826000728-3192352269-7033) -> domainadm But when I go to log in to the domain with "user1" on a winxp machine, the

Hey all, I'm looking to merge multiple NT4 domains into a single infrastructure based on Samba3 and OpenLDAP on Linux of the Debian Sarge flavour (and, Bob willing, Samba4 before long). In order to allow some resources to be shared from a single Linux instance, I'm rather hoping that I can put every domain's information into a single LDAP DIT. The Samba PDCs will use only portions of

Hello! we are trying to get Samba 3.0a24 to work with OpenLDAP. After creating the guest - user manually in the LDAP directory, everything seemed to work fine. However we cannot create any group. The "net group map" command runs without any error message, and states: blue# ./net groupmap add rid=999 unixgroup=syadm Successully added group syadm to the mapping db

Is there any SIMPLE way to maintain consistent mappings between windows RIDs and UNIX/LINUX UIDs/GIDs among multiple samba servers servers running winbindd? Will that problem be addressed in future samba releases? I've read about the "idmap backend" possible solution but is that the only current one? Help!!!

Hello, Second post: first had logs attached but was too big. I have a test environment with 1 windows 2000 AD domain pdc ( mixed mode install ), 1 linux server ( to become pdc ) and a win xp box to test logon when the migration was completed. The problem is no matter what I try after the migration the win xp's logonserver = windows server not linux server. I have no idea what is going

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 /

I'm a little weak on how the groups assignments work with Samba and LDAP. The Samba HOWTO collection says to map each Domain Group to a UNIX system group, but if all authentication is done via LDAP (Unix and Windows) then do the groups still have to exist on the Samba Unix machine? Where do the RIDs fit into all this? I don't see a schema in LDAP for sambaGroup. Do I create the

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error.

Is there something special I need to do to let root add computers to the domain in 3.0? When I try to add the workstation I get an error about 'user not found' even though I can logon to a workstation joined to the domain as 'root'. I was able to add computers to the domain with 2.2.8 with an 'add user command' entry and 'domain admin group = root' in my

Relevant part of "net3 groupmap list" is System Operators (S-1-5-21-1617713866-2789119093-1479812082-1007) -> sys In howto there is the following example net groupmap modify ntgroup="System Operators" unixgroup=sys net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users" unixgroup=sys You can add System Operators but trying to add Power Users fails. If you do it in reverse

Hello, i have some problems migrating a Windows 2000 PDC to a Debian GNU/Linux Samba Server, i want to migrate it to a LDAP backend.. but as i'm kind of newbie with ldap and samba migration stuff, i preffered to migrate it to tdbsam first and try it for a while, if everything works fine, then switch to a ldap backend. The problem is that Essential Windows Groups are automatically created, so

Hi Everyone, I have a small project going on. I'm about to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Etch (smbd version 3.0.23d-2+b1). I've already managed to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Sarge (smbd version 3.0.14a-) without any bigger problems. However, when I migrate to Etch I face a small problem. The last thing I want to do before I start samba is to grant my linux/samba admin, NT 'Domain
