similar to: members server cant find bdc for logon service

Dear List, I am trying to set up a BDC in a full-samba environment, without full success. I followed the howtos about this topic with the following settings: BDC: ---- [global] workgroup = KERNZEIT netbios name = APPSERVER security = user server string = %h (Samba %v) announce version=5.0 #LDAP STUFF passdb backend =

Below is my configuration # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.0.0-17-server x86_64 Ubuntu 11.10 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:/nfs/users/%u/Maildir passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix

From the Samba Howto: The BDC is biased to answer logon requests in preference to the PDC. On a network segment that has a BDC and a PDC, the BDC will most likely service network logon requests. While this appear to be the case on my test network all my tests show that this is not true on my production network. AFAICS both networks have the same software configurations and on each network the

Hello, I can't get my BDC to talk to the LDAP slave running on the same machine. Replication between slave and master works but samba on the BDC doesn't appear to be communicating with the slave LDAP server. Everything off the PDC works fine. -- smb.conf on BDC -- [global] workgroup = WarehamPS encrypt passwords = Yes time offset = 60 time server = Yes

Hi I havee been trying to setup my Redhat 8.0 Linux as BDC, i have NT4 as my PDC. My smb.conf [global] workgroup=ITERNAL netbios name=TRIC server string=server Samba load printers=no printcap name=cups printing=cups print command=lp -d %p %s; rm %s invalid users=root log file=/var/log/samba/log.%m max log size=1000 syslog=0 smbpasswd file=/etc/samba/smbpasswd security=DOMAIN encrypt

Hi Everybody, maybe we are just too stupid, but for me it seems that there is some problem with holding passwords completely sync between *NIX-world and WIN-world when I use LDAP & Samba. If a user changes a password under Windows, with "passwd chat" the *NIX-Password (attribute: userPassword) can be changend very well besides the both Samba-LDAP-attributes lmPassword and

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.

Hi there ... I have a problem with my tdb-database after I've migrated from Debian-Samba-3.2.5-4lenny6 to Samba-3.2.5-4lenny7. All the old directories /etc/samba with the smb.conf and /var/lib/samba with the tdb-database has been hold. Now I've inexplicable effects with my tdb-database. - I cannot list my admin - user, which is the domain-administrator, in my passwd.tdb. - I cannot

Dear List, while debugging the problem that users cant change file acls from windows clients, I found out that Samba (ver- sion 3.0.13 on debian sarge) tries to look up the SID (of the user who should be added to the acl) as a sambaGroupMapping in the LDAP. Does anybody can tell me: - why samba tries to match a SID of a user as a GroupMapping? This will never work as a user can never be a

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

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

Hello, Please forgive my ignorance if this is a old topic or is a easy, I am rather new to these stuffs. I have Samba running and authenticating properly in our Organization as a PDC. Now if I wanted a Windows 2000 server as a BDC for that domain, it that possible (samba 2.2 or 3). I know the 3 alpha supports active directory. The Windows 2000 server will be a BDC for the Samba PDC. If

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@all! i have a samba server with ldap as pdc. everything works fine and now i'm testing samba as bdc. i copied the smb.conf from the pdc to the bdc and changed the domain master = yes to no! then i stopped the smb service on the pdc and tried to login on an winxp machine and this also worked (the log file show me that the login is on the bdc)! is it possible that the users can change

Hello, is it possible to add a wind 2003 machine as BDC to a samba domain. Is documentation documentation available ? Thanks Andreas

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 was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

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, 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, 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
