Hi everybody, I have one SAMBA server (with PDC configuration) which is configure to use an OpenLDAP server (on the same local server) where users and computers account are store (I want to have the two Unix/Linux and Samba account attributes stored to use Name Service Switch and Pluggable Authentication Module). My problem is as follow : If I don't put the following line : ->

Hello, Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine names were not created.

Hello, I've just installed samba with ldap on a debian etch. I have a problem when i attempt to create a user with the command smbldap-useradd -a -P -c "toto DUPONT" -u 1001 toto and to log in with it after.

Hi folks, Just yesterday, my Samba installation on OpenSlug suddenly stopped working, out of the blue. Now, users on my WinXP SP2 systems cannot under any circumstances log in to the domain. Local Windows users however can map shares with no problem. When a domain user attempts to log on to a domain member PC (joining the domain works fine, by the way), they are denied with the generic Windows

Hello list, I have a samba 3.5.6 running on a Debian squeeze machine. This box is running since more than a year without any problems. Since a couple of days we have the following problem. One Win7 user doesn't get his user profile any more The log file tells: [2013/03/04 07:43:14.641151, 1] auth/auth_util.c:580(make_server_info_sam) User WIN7MACHINE$ in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

Hi, I migrated a PDC to use an ldap backend and am having fun with a few last issues.. Existing user accounts and machine accounts were migrated, and existing users can authenticate. Now I've added some new users and none of them can authenticate. e.g. for the user "inktec". The user can login via SSH, but not mount a share: smbclient \\\\server3\\someshare -U=inktec mypassword

Hi list, I've seen this error now many times (at my own setup and in the archives): sam_account_ok: Checking SMB password for user Simon Dassow [2004/03/05 12:54:19, 1] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(821) User Simon Dassow in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

Hi, I could use some confirmation on my approach to configuring my BDC. I want the user to be able to access shares on the BDC and have their domain credentials stamped on any files they create. I do not want to add domain users to the /etc/passwd file. At the moment users can authenticate onto the domain but once they try and access a share on the BDC, these XP users get a dialogue box asking

Hello all, I've added my windows7 client to the domain (samba running as pdc), having applied the registry changes identified here (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7). Partial success - domain users can login and see shares etc, BUT: 1 - the registry settings in ntlogon/NTConfig.POL are not applied. Am I right in thinking that windows 7 ignores this policy? And if so I therefore

Hey guys, I'm trying to migrate my NT4 Domain and am having some problems. Ignoring my other post related to this, I can't get any of my machines to be able to login. Alls I ever get is "Your computer account was not found or the password is incorrect" I even tried rejoining the domain which works. I leave the domain and then rejoin it, it takes a LONG time (might just be

Hi, Did anyone else experience this? With 9.1-BETA1 the boot process freezes, among the last lines with verbose boot are acpi_acad0: On Line acpi_acad0: acline initialization done, tried 1 times after this, dead.

Hi all, I'm very close to having a working setup after blundering through a couple of typing errors that cost me several days of my life, with the following config: Samba 3.0.14a as a PDC Suse 9.2 Professional LDAP (eDirectory 8.7.3) passwd backend Idealx scripts Windows XP SP1 I can connect to any of the samba shares just fine using any of the users I've created, from XP and from linux

Is it possible to have a standalone Samba server map different username/password pairs to a single Unix account? More specifically, I'll be using an external passdb (pdb-mysql or LDAP), and each username will only see a home directory with the same name. But I don't want to have to create a separate Unix account / UID for each username/password, the restriction by directory is enough.

I suggest to add this line also to samba-pdc help. But still I ran into problems. I fixed the passdb lines on PDC and BDC. If the second server (on PDC slave-ldap and on BDC

Hi, I got samba 3.0.26a on my Fedora 7, and when i try to add users with smbpasswd -a username, it only works if the user exists as a linux user... i got a Centos 4.4 system with samba 3.0.10 and it works even if the user doesn't exists on the system. Can anyone explain me why this happens? is it from this new version (3.0.26a) or may be a problem of Fedora 7?

Hello! I use a PAM-module (pam_ncp_auth from ncpfs) for authentication against a netware server. pam_ncp_auth can create local UNIX user accounts from information in NDS, and it works perfect with login, gdm and telnet. But not with openssh (2.5 and 2.9). It works perfect if the user already is in /etc/passwd, but the first time he logs on he doesn't exist there. In that case openssh call
