I have a Samba 3.0.4 server configured as a PDC. NetBIOS name of the server is "SERVER"; name of the workgroup is "AEC". Problem is that there's now a phantom workgroup called "SERVER" when I try to browse the network. Since there's no clients configured in this workgroup, any attempts to browse this workgroup fail. When I attempt to use User Manager for

I've got a Samba 3.0.4 server running on RedHat 8.0 as a PDC. It's the only domain controller on the network, and the only WINS server on the network. The problem is, when I browse the network neighborhood, I see the NetBIOS name of the server ("SERVER") appear as a workgroup/domain (though there are no hosts listed in this phantom domain). It also appears as a computer under

I've decided to share my experiences with the list in hopes that it will help someone else doing something similar avoid the problems I experienced, and hopefully, have a better experience. Here's the scope of my project: Original installation: - Samba 2.2.x series server - Workgroup security (read: local security, not domain security) - no domain controller - password database is

Any ideas why this is not working?

Have an issue with password policy in Samba 3.0.4 with tdbsam password backend on RedHat 8.0. This issue was observed with an up-to-date Windows XP client, NT's SRVTOOLS on Windows 2000. I can set password policy (expiration, length, etc.) using usrmgr.exe from the Windows NT Server Tools. After setting policy, when I execute 'pdbedit -Lv someuser', it does not display the correct

This sounds like an advertisement, but I've got nothing to gain. Just thought you might like to know about this. If you're cloning a bunch of Windows boxes, you'll have a problem with SID's... they'll all be the same. That's a bad thing. Maybe you have a need to change a SID... perhaps a dual-boot box where you want the computer names and IP addresses to be the same. This

Migrating Users Profiles When Changing Domain Affiliation: A Primer I. Introduction NOTE: This applies to Windows NT-based systems with locally-stored user profiles. Windows 9x and Me do not manage user profiles in the same way. Quite often we find the need to change a workstation's affiliation, either from a workgroup (that is, the workstation is not in a domain environment) to a domain,

Hi, I'm trying to set up samba with ldap authorization on a windows network. I have samba running on one linux host, and openldap on another. I have used smbldap-tools to populate my directory and used smbldap-useradd to create an initial testuser on the samba host. I can ssh in to the samba host as the testuser ok, and get in to the testuser directory (ie. there are no permission

Since I don't seem to be having any luck with the classicupgrade, I decided to try starting from scratch and then adding users. I ran the command: /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision --realm=<my realm> \ --domain=<mydomain> --adminpass 'mypass' --server-role=dc \ --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ Then I tried both adding and changing users. In neither case can I

Hi list, we have spotted a serious problem with our Samba (Debian version 3.0.24-6) on linux 2.4.31, ext2 with ACLs enabled. We use "hide unreadable = yes" to reduce clutter for our users. Today we noticed that with this option enabled any linux client can access and read *all* directories under the share, even directories that are owned by root and set to 0700. No ACLs are set on the

I am having some issues with Samba with roaming profiles running on Ubuntu server. When a user logs in they get prompted with an error: ----windows error---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include

Hi, all. I really need your helps in determing what I did wrong. I have been trying to setup Samba PDC (not using TLS at this initial stage yet) by hand on SLES 9.1 and did not use YAST because somehow it just did not work. I followed all the steps from the "The Linux Samba-OpenLDAP Howto (1.10) from IDEALX.org) and Chapter 5 Making Happy Users from the book and a bunch of other

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID

Since I have had trouble getting the net rpc vampire command to properly migrate passwords, I have been looking into stripping down the net rpc samdump results into a smbpasswd backend file, then importing from there into my tdbsam. The first problem I ran into is that the samdump produces RID values from the domain, whereas I need it to represent UIDs that already exist. No problem, since my

Hi All, I have a problem following the migration of my PDC's backend from tdbsam to LDAP. We started out with a PDC called SMB1 which ran with a tdbsam backend. I used pdbedit to convert it to LDAP and built a new server onto which the LDIF file was loaded. Samba was then setup to use the LDAP server as a backend. So far so good, Samba runs against LDAP and I was able to add 60 new XP

Hi, all. I am trying to set up SAMBA PDC with OpenLDAP using smbldap-tools from IDEALX. This is on a SLES 9 and I had run the latest online update as well as SP1 and SP2 for it. At this point smb is off and ldap is running. I have gotten up to where I needed to test for: ldapsearch -x -b "dc=sample,dc=com" "(ObjectClass=*)" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base

Hi, Is there any way to change the SID of an user on Samba 4.1?. I've tried: pdbedit -U newSID -u user pdbedit -u user -U newSID pdbedit --'user SID'=newSID -u user but it shows the user infor without change anything. Thanks!!

Hello guys, as subject says, i've got problem with it. And because i'm in preparation of migration of users form Samba PDC with passdb.tdb backend ot LDAP backend, i need to be 100% clear on it. I can't find the reference to it anywhere, so if anyone can point me in the right way ..? What is confusing for me? I'll explain on example: 1. Scenario: Existing Samba PDC server

Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

I am using LDAP as my backend. I have 6 PDC's running Samba 3.0.21b, each domain has a different SID. I store all user,groups,and machine accounts in one LDAP database. So that when I create a user once, all domains can see the user. This keeps me from having to create a user account on each domain for cross domain file sharing. The behavior for Domains running Samba 3.0.21b is a follows.
