We have implemented an NT domain with samba 3.0.4 PDC on Slackware 9.1 and Win XP Pro clients. Everything is working nicely except for one issue. I haven't used Windows for years, so possibly I just don't understand something basic about Windows XP security ... Having logged in (to the domain), users are unable to perform tasks such as update certain files on the local system, for example

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

I'm wondering if, in a context where samba 3.0.4 is PDC for an NT domain with XP clients, it is necessary or at least normal practice to map most/all NT groups (eg Domain Admins, Domain Users) to unix groups? Also, I notice when I do 'net groupmap list' that there are not only Domain Admins, Domain Users and Domain Guests, but also plain Admins, Users and Guests. What is the

Interesting question. I'm not complaining, I find that the Linux/OSS world is in general amazingly helpful, and people do find answers on this list. However, I must say that several of my own questions here never got answered, and many others go unanswered. The samba team is doing a fantastic job, but yes, this list does seem short of people who have the time or expertise to provide answers.

works with plaintext passwords (as fallback) NT4.0 incl. servicepack refuses to work (you may recognize this behaviour by repeating entering the login and the password a couple of times. Then you will be able to mount a share). (more on this topic in /usr/doc/packages/samba/ ENCRYPTION.txt). Solution: Well, either you may convince NT via its Windows registry to use plaintext passwords There is

I see that mksmbpasswd.sh (plus a little editing) would be a good way to set up users with "NO PASSWORD" in bulk. But suppose I don't want the risk of the "NO PASSWORD" approach. Now somebody with root access must run smbpasswd for each user they want to activate. But can't I just do this anyway (with the -a 'add user' option), without ever having run

Hallo, i installed samba V2.0.3 on a linux server in a company. for better security i will use encypted passwords. for synchronisation of the unix password file and the samba password file i tried out the script mksmbpasswd script. my security settings at the server are easy and i set the permissions of the unix passwd file at 774 and also my smbpasswd file at 744. starting the script with the

Has anyone had any luck setting up a Rails App using GoDaddy? I''m at my wits end, I uploaded the site using the "instructions" in the Help Center but I keep getting the Application error Rails application failed to start properly" Error. I''ve lucked all over for help, and I''ve tried a bunch of things (adjusting the chmod values of my dispatch files

Never mind, I figured this one out (I think!). Here is what I ran [System: RedHat 7.0/Samba 2.0.7ssl on P-90] cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh >> smbpasswd (After backing-up the current 'smbpasswd', of course) This seemed to do the trick, however, all of the accounts where disabled by default. I figured this to be the intended behavior (for security with system

Hi, I'm using samba-3.0.28-0.fc8. I'm trying to build a file server for 100 users. I created a perl script that automatically adds the 100 users plus their passwords with success. Now I'm having difficulty creating a script using the smbpasswd command because passwords must be entered in stdin. I also tried smbpasswd -s option but it asks passwd in stdin. Is there a way that I can use

I have just implemented an NT Domain using samba 3.0.4 on Slackware 9.1, a very simple LAN with 4 or 5 clients. Clients: Win XP Pro. Everything looks OK so far, apart from this issue: I create machine accounts for existing client machines using their existing names ... works fine, they can join domain. Except that we want to rename the existing machines using a new consistent format (client1,

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

Hi all, Reading through ENCRYPTION.txt it says to do the following: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd However, on my Samba-2.05a install (onto RH 6.0), /usr/local/samba doesn't exist. Instead, all the files listed in ENCRYPTION.txt and WinNT.txt are in the /usr/bin directory. Amongst other things, this means I can't set the recommended security

All I have my samba setup working with PDC roaming profiles etc, but so I dont have to manually type everyone's password into smbpasswd. Could someone please email me mksmbpasswd.sh, for the life of me I cant find it anywhere to download it. Im running Solaris 8, such a pain if I don't have it. Thanks nn advance Philip M Grisedale

Hi all, Quick question, is it possible to take an existing /etc/passwd file and run it through mksmbpasswd.sh (or some other script) to update a smbpasswd file? I am asking this because everytime we change a password or add or delete usernames on a machine, it would seem we have to do the same thing to change th samba password file, and I'm hopeing there is an easier way..... thanks, jeff
