Hi. HELP! I read: :-) http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/domain-member.html#domain-member-server (Which notes, "This is a rough guide to setting up Samba-3 with Kerberos authentication against a Windows 200x KDC. A familiarity with Kerberos is assumed." Is there "A guide to familiarity with Kerberos as a primer for Samba configuration" somewhere?) :-) This thread

There appear to be significant hurdles to migrating from a Microsoft to Samba PDC environment, something which I've been trying to do now for many months. The difficulties arise in moving user's accounts over to Samba 1. Local profiles. It does not seem to be possible to move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba PDC while retaining local profiles. NT4/W2k machines consider logons to the Samba PDC

Hi all! I've had a lot of success setting up Samba PDC's using the LDAP-SAM backend, and got password sync working between Unix (LDAP) passwords and Samba passwords. I can also have other Linux boxes use Winbind to auth vrs. the PDC and thus achieve the same password sync functionality (i.e., Samba changes both PAM and Samba passwords, as well as checking them). Naturally, this also

I have been trying off and on for some time now to get an interdomain trust relationship going between two samba pdc machines (DomainA=trusted & DomainB=trusting). Both pdc's are running on Solaris boxes and NIS is involved (I doubt there is a NIS complication just because I can use accounts on DomainA on DomainB's samba, as long as I add them using smbpasswd manually). The situation

Hello, Sambas, Recently, I met a problem with my Samba 2.2.3a server. It is configured as a Domain Member, sometimes I couldn't get user list from PDC ( a Win2k server), but it come up again soon , say 5 seconds. I had thought it is PDC's problem, but it seems PDC is fine. Are there any other reasons will cause that? Some log messages attached. [2002/07/08 08:42:44, 0]

Hi All, I am currently running two PDC's with different domain names on the same network. But after a day of smooth running I am starting to have problems with the users accessing the network resources with an error message. As far I understand there must not be such conflict with the Samba PDC's with different domain names on the same subnet. Can any one suggest what might

Hello all, I currently have the following setup working nicely: A Samba PDC, with LDAP-SAM, syncs passwords between LDAP and Samba (and /etc/shadow when appropriate) correctly - either when changing them through Samba (samba has PAM support enabled and working) or through normal Unix mechanisms (/usr/bin/passwd, using pam_smbpass, pam_ldap, etc.). Several other Linux machines, running Samba,

We want to migrate our Novell 4.11 server to a Redhat Enterprise Server 3.0 with Samba 3 and Openldap. Our configuration is the following : - 1 Windows NT 4.0 server with Exchange 5.5 SP4 as PDC - 1 Windows NT 4.0 server as BDC - 1 Novell 4.11 server as file/print server We want to change the Novell server by a linux server (RH EL 3) and put it as the PDC with Openldap.

Hello all!! I have partially achieved full single-signon, synched passwords with Samba 2.2.5 and OpenLDAP 2.0.25 on Mandrake 8.2. I can change my PDC password from a Win2K box and it synchs the Linux/Unix/LDAP password correctly. I can change my password from Linux using 'passwd' and it synchs the PDC password. Samba is the PDC, and uses LDAP as the smbpasswd backend. This all works

I've been beating my head against this one and just can't figure it out. I hope someone here may have an answer. The employees using the workstations on this network are getting increasingly upset with this problem. The problem is wildly varying logon and logoff times over the network. This is definitely not a matter of long profile transfers. An individual can log onto a workstation

Hello! I'm kind of stuck here. I'd like to set up a Samba PDC server using a MySQL database backend, so that me and my colleges can easily administer the users with a PHP based web interface. I've already installed and configured Samba 3.0.11 and MySQL 4.0 on FreeBSD. Everything seems to work great, except I can't login. I always get a message that says the domain controller

Hello, Our company is trying to implement central Windows Domain at HQ and replicated across all its regional offices. The implementation will have a PDC/LDAP-master on HQ and BDC/LDAP-slave on each regional office. In the hopes of saving bandwidth we are trying to avoid the use of WINS between WAN links. Is there any way of not using WINS and still have the clients find the PDC (for updating
