I'll start off with my question: how do you change a user's SID? When I issue the command: [root@server root]# pdbedit -u testuser -U \ S-1-5-21-4000410194-515421893-615041212-2006 I see testuser:516:Test User [root@server root]# Then, I do "pdbedit -Lv testuser" and it still shows the old SID. Now, I'll give you a little background. Previously, this server (NetBIOS

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

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

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

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,

Hello I've set up a Samba server as a PDC using a tdbsam backend. I first tried to access the shares with the usernames/passwords of the domain users I created, everything was OK (well almost, I'll post another one on this). Then I tried to join the domain with a PC and had errors "account not found", or something like that. This was on Windows XP SP2. I tried to mount a

[Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ] I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password. If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd" command and it would edit the file. But with a backend, that's not available to me. The "pdbedit" command will

Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Hello I use the backend tdbsam. I have just imported users from smbpasswd backend pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam in global section I set passdb backend = tdbsam I use policy (pdbedit -P maximum and minimum password age) to change passwords every three months and when the passwords were changed none of the files (smbpasswd ,passdb.tdb , secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba/private) has not changed

I have Samba PDC and use tdbsam backend. I use the version 3.0.11, but recently I have exchanged it for the version 3.0.23c. Now I have a number of problem. Here is one of then. I wish to move one user "gad" from Domain Users (RID 513) to Domain Guests (RID 514). Now Primary group of user "gad" is "Domain Users": pdbedit -Lv gad -d0 Unix username: gad NT

Please help, I am experiencing a weird error when trying to join a winXP Pro workstation to my samba3 + LDAP Domain. When I specify the account to on my system that has uid 0, I receive a user account cannot be found error. Now I know this isnt the case since I can browse the samba server with this account. Note: it is in tdbsam not ldap When I look for the machine account in the ldap

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

I'm having trouble using pdbedit to add user to a tdbsam database. I'm running Redhat Enterprise Linux ES 3.0, with the stock version of samba. I'm not sure why it won't let me add users. I tried it with smbpasswd and that didn't work either. Anyway here's a plethora of information: [root@samba root]# pdbedit -a -u root -d 10 INFO: Current debug levels: all: True/10

Does anyone know of a place where I can find sample scripts for use with Samba? Looking thru smb.conf we have these options: add user script delete user script add group script delete group script add user to group script delete user from group script set primary group script add machine script shutdown script abort shutdown script logon script There are probably others that I'm

Hi All, I just added three users to my tdbsam with "pdbedit -a -u username" (had to do "useradd" first). All three appeared in tdbsam as they should, as verified with "pdbedit -L". But, all three also appeared in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. This is not a mistake, they were not there before. Are "tdbsam" and "smbpasswd" linked? I am confused.

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

Dear Samba Team, I have recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.2 where I first noticed the issue. I have also installed 3.0.2a to check if the problem I found may have already been fixed before submitting this issue. Here's the problem: After migrating and switching from passdb backend "smbpasswd" to the new "tdbsam" backend, I started having problems with
