similar to: Winbind - More Info

Ok... This is annoying. Winbind doesn't seem to be 100% stable. I am using 3.0.4 and Winbind is attached to a Windows 2003 server. I am cheating, using RPC rather than ADS. So here is the issue. Generally everything works. I do a wbinfo -u and all comes back. I do a getent passwd and a good list comes back as well. The problem is sometimes with individual users, I do a "getent passwd

Well, I am a bit confused. I am DESPRATE to get winbind to use the same GID and UIDs on several machines... But I am having a headache doing it. I need to run an LDAP server, I guess, so I put one together with the most basic things. But I just simply can't get it to run. Is there any site or document I can read that will show a most basic LDAP setup that would run my idmaps? I just need LDAP

Am I missing something here? I thought winbind was supposed to act similar to yp/NIS? That winbind is given a range of UIDs and GIDs that would be higher than anything on the local system and winbind would translate out a passwd entry for each Windows domain user (again, identical to NIS). That I would only have to add a user to the windows DC, and that when that user tries to log into one of our

Hello, I have two domains: - a domain FRANCE on a SAMBA PDC called "SARGE" - a domain DOMAINTEST on a Active Directory called "SRV2003-2" I followed the samba howto chapter on setting a domain trust relationship between this two domains. For now, I just want DOMAINTEST users to log on shares of the FRANCE domain. On Windows 2003 side, with the MMC I can check/revalidate

Hello, I have a Centos 4.4 Linux server that setup Winbind with windows 2003AD integration, the winbind suddenly can't receive AD accounts, I can use wbinfo -u to show AD user name and group etc, but getent passwd isn't pulling across all of the domain accounts. Here is the winbind log: [2007/10/04 23:31:08, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_fill_pwent(50) error getting user id

All, has anybody built samba 3.0.3 woody packages already? Thanks, Michael

I have 3.0.2a (with about 75 machines/users) installed as a PDC for my Win2k users and found an oddity. (waiting for a bin version of 3.0.3 for RH8.0) All was fine before I left 2.2.8.... But now when users hit <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> and change the password, they get "domain not available". When they log in, they get the logon scripts to execute, and anything else I do to

Someone emailed me directly when I was asking about the 8.0 RPMs, and why I didn't just compile it. Due to the production nature of our servers which run practially 24/7, I can do an "rpm -Uhv samba.rpm" and then do an "smb restart" with very little impact. If I move to non-rpm versions, I am forced to compile first, remove the RPM, which is a longer downtime, then install

I'm trying to set up Winbind to store all the UID's in a local LDAP database, but am having some trouble. I think I got most of it set up, but when I run "getent passwd", I get several hundred errors like this: [2004/07/13 11:59:03, 3] sam/idmap_ldap.c:ldap_get_id_from_sid(588) ldap_get_id_from_sid: Failure looking up idmap entry (No such object) [2004/07/13 11:59:03, 1]

Hi, I try to store the idmap in LDAP storage, but it gives me the follows errors. What's wrong?

After much searching, research, compiling, and some guess work, I found my problem was wrapped around one simple fact. I didn't have the samba.schema included. I now have some suggestions: 1. If you are going to force people to use something complex, DOCUMENT it. Assume there are people like me who have no understanding of ldap. Even some automatic script should be written for people who

I am running Samba 3.4.7on Fedora Core 11 Linux. This is a domain member. My PDC is Samba 3.4.9 on Solaris 10. I have LDAP as a backend (Sun/Oracle Directory Server 6.) I have an OU for user accounts, and an OU for idmap entries. The PDC has already populated some idmap entries. An idmap entry looks like dn: sambaSID=S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1121,ou=mydomain,ou =idmap,o=mycomany.com

Hi All, I'm in the process of setting up samba with ldap and winbind and haven't been able to find an article anywhere on how to do this. I've managed to troll together everything except the directory setup. I'm stuck on what I need to add into the directory (ldif files) to make it all go. I've included the steps I took and so hopefully it'll be easy to spot what

Just in case anyone cares, I still have to run a Redhat 8.0 server, so if someone could keep the 8.0 RPMs going, I'd greatly appreciate it. As it stands, the 8.0 on the samba.org website are pretty bare. JMS

On my Redhat 7.3 machine (soon to be upgraded) using printcap style printers, it has stopped sharing them when I went to 3.0.4.. It was on 3.0.2a... Thoughts? JMS

Hi I have a problem with an interdomain trust where on the PDC for DomainA, everything works perfectly. getent returns local and DomainB usernames. On the PDC for DomainB, it's DomainB works fine, but getent only returns local usernames and groups, it doesn't return the usernames or groups for DomainA. wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work fine and return all DomainA's usernames and groups.
