In addition to the instructions below, you must have complied the NSS_LDAP from www.padl.com on your SAMBA PDC. I have written a how-to with instructions to compile NSS_LDAP and an example smb.conf attached to this email. I got the detailed directions from the "SAMBA 3 by example" at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ Good luck, Pat -----Original Message----- From:

I had a test machine up and running Samba, joining an AD domain, and set up with winbind... when I ran "getent passwd" it would list all the local users, and all the domain users. I could also log in as a domain user without any problem. So, I made an image of the hard drive, and copied it to 7 other machines. Now, those 7 are having a strange problem. I changed the names and IP's of

Thanks everyone for helping me get the home directories working over SMB, especially Ben Ford for his workaround for the Xauth and GDM. Now I've got a problem that, most likely, nobody's ever noticed before... or is something specific to me. I've got a Linux client, and a Samba server, and a Windows 2000 server, both set up EXACTLY the same. I've got a test user and the home

I have a Samba 3 server, and a client with Samba 3. The server has a share for home directories, and the client is trying to mount it, but after it's mounted, I still can't create any symbolic links. Also, the GUI login (Red Hat Enterprise default) isn't working, but I think that's just a symptom of the symbolic and hard links not working. Any idea why, when I enable unix

I've got an interesting problem that I'll try to detail here as best I can. My Setup: We've got a W2K domain with 2 W2K DC's and a Samba member server that hosts the shares, including home directories. We've got both Linux and Windows clients (2000 & XP). For reference, the samba server will be named "SAMBA" and the Windows PDC will be named "PDC".

I saw a message on this mailing list about compiling the idmap_ad.c, back in October of last year... and I'm having the same problem... When I try to compile it, the message I get is: gcc -I/usr/include/linux -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/ubiqx -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/popt -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source/smbwrapper -I/root/samba/samba-3.0.4/source

I'm having a problem when I try to mount a CIFS share on a Samba 3.0.5 server from a Samba 3.0.2 workstation. When I type: mount -t smbfs //ip-address/share /mnt/point -o username=username,domain=DOMAIN It mounts, and I get no errors whatsoever. I can do almost anything I want (except for symbolic links and hard links, which is why I want CIFS). When I type the exact same thing, but change

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]

I have a feeling I may have lost focus on the issue in some of my previous messages... so here's my dilemma. I have several Windows (2000 and XP) clients, and several Linux (Red Hat Enterprise 3, 2.4.21 kernel) clients. I've got a couple servers, one is currently Windows 2000 Server, and one is Linux (same as above, with the snapshot Samba running). I want to be able to have users log

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting an LDAP directory set up for the idmap backend for winbind. I've been working on it for quite a while, and haven't found any very helpful websites or anything. I've found quite a bit on how to set up a PDC using LDAP, which would be nice, but I already have the PDC... I just need LDAP to host UID's and GID's. The things I'd like

I am attempting to setup an LDAP server under CentOS 5.4. However I am unable to search my ldap directory even tho I am supplying the proper credentials for the Manager account: [root at ldap openldap]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net' -W -b 'dc=example,dc=net' Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) Anonymous searches do work however:

I'm using RedHat 9 and Samba 3.01rc2. I'm working through the Samba Howto on LDAP but I've no experience of LDAP and I'm struggling to understand what is needed. At the moment when I try to change or set a password with smbpasswd, I get the message "failed to bind to server with dn = etc: Invalid credentials". So can someone clarify any of these points for me. 1. About

I have been trying for two weeks to get onto a Win2k domain which has active directory with no success. The Suse YAST samba client will not do ADS, only domain, server, or user, so I went to the command line stuff I found the the Samba documentation. I can do kinit and get back the following: sha-linux:/etc/samba # kinit art_fore@3MTS.COM art_fore@3MTS.COM's Password: kinit: NOTICE:

Trying to migrate NT4 to samba 3.0.0 or 3.0.1pre3 with an ldap backend. I add a backup server account to the domain and joined. Getting the SID and the ldap init seem to work, and I start windbind. When I run net rpc vampire all I get is a ton of "Could not create posix account info for " errors. Then ofcourse pdbedit -L returns smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search:

Hi all, I am about to install a Samba server at a local school, and i need some advice and/or experience from others who have worked on a installation of that type/size. My plan is to roll-out a Samba server (of course), with LDAP back-end, and a number of printer queue's via CUPS. There will be aprox. 1000 user accounts, mostly students. The school has asked for a solution that would

In other people's environments or test situations, what kind of scalability do you see with winbind? How many aggressive users can be supported? Using: Suse SLES 8 for ibm iSeries Samba authentication with winbind against win2k active directory. at the moment, a 100 FD network connection 3 windows DC's to authenticate against.
