I would like to move a netbios alias (e.g. 'testname') from one machine to another. Seems like an easy enough thing to do: remove it from machine 'a', and add it to machine 'b'. I've done this, but all's not well in netbios land. My clients still want to talk to the old machine, and do. Do I simply have to be more patient? How patient? Is there anything that

ok, i noticed the gid of ldap group "users" was 539, but the one it was migrated from in /etc/group was 100, so I changed the gid and everything seems to work now? but why should it care that the gid is the same as it's /etc/group counterpart? --- On Tue 01/27, John H. < mrmailer@myway.com > wrote: From: John H.

1. Here's my case: [root@dsat ~]# net groupmap list [root@dsat ~]# net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domainadmins adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! 2. Here's samba log: [root@dsat ~]# tail /var/log/smbd.log [2006/10/10 08:51:23, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(851) ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password from secrets.tdb

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

Hi I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) and wonder where the problem is that running this command: # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 type=d gives: adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! but (note changed rid) # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=1000 type=d works fine. Hm, winbind is not working, but I

Hello, i have some problems migrating a Windows 2000 PDC to a Debian GNU/Linux Samba Server, i want to migrate it to a LDAP backend.. but as i'm kind of newbie with ldap and samba migration stuff, i preffered to migrate it to tdbsam first and try it for a while, if everything works fine, then switch to a ldap backend. The problem is that Essential Windows Groups are automatically created, so

Hi All, Just a general question about groups. I am upgrading a Samba workgroup, server to a PDC. I have been reading: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#id2589321 In this link, they tell of how to map a windows group to a Samba group net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm rid=512 type=d Question 1: if my previous

Hi All, I have already integrated my samba with the Active directory domain using winbind, but I am trying to do the following. I want to map a UNIX group "ccusers" to Active Directory group "NICE\ccusers". I need my AD users that don't have local accounts on my machine to be able to access directories owne by the UNIX group ccusers. It seems like it should be simple to

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

Hello all, I'm using samba 3 as a pdc on CentOS 3.7 (package is samba-3.0.9-1.3E.7 based on 3.0.9 + rh patches) I would like to recevive some clarification about predefined "Domain Computers" group in Samba 3, as I didn't find complete information about this in various documents.

Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble getting group mapping to work. I want to have a Samba share that contains a number of different folders, and some of those folders will be restricted depending on the user's membership to certain Active Directory groups. I thought this could be done by mapping the Active Directory groups to equivalent UNIX groups, and then using standard UNIX

Hi, when using pdbedit -L <user> we get an error > build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username <user> with uid <uid> is not in unix passwd database! > Username not found! This is because a user is not - as it says - in e.g. /etc/passwd. Does this affect the functionality of group mappings in the way that this doesn't work with the mapped unixgroup

Hi All I have created a group 'test' which has the following users: brajesh_01:/var/log/samba # getent group |grep test test:!:13159:brajesh,yatish,usr1 brajesh_01:/var/log/samba # I mapped this user to ntgroup user, 'Web Master': brajesh_01:/var/log/samba # net groupmap add ntgroup="We Master" unixgroup=test No rid or sid specified, choosing a RID Got RID 27319

Hello, I have a test environment with 1 windows 2000 AD domain pdc ( mixed mode install ), 1 linux server ( to become pdc ) and a win xp box to test logon when the migration was completed. The problem is no matter what I try after the migration the win xp's logonserver = windows server not linux server. I have no idea what is going on here. I've listed the process for migration

Hello I have been solving a problem how to make a nonroot user able to administer the domain (add users, groups, modify them etc.) from Windows workstation using usrmgr.exe It looks like what is stated in Samba HOWTO collection as prerequisites is not enough.
