Hi, Before Samba 3.0.0 RC4 I was running Samba 3.0.0 beta3, and when I upgraded to RC4, I began having problems with group mappings. I didn't notice at first, because on my laptop I don't normally log on to the domain. I just noticed when I tried to use my desktop and log on to the domain... I don't have Domain Admin privileges. So, I look at 'net groupmap list' ... and it

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. First I found Chapter 12 cxl "How to make Samba PDC users member of the Domain Admins group" - made the nonroot user member of

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups

I have recently run across this problem and would like to warn people about it. I had an already established domain running under Samba 2.2.8. I then upgraded to 3.0. I removed the 'domain admin users = root' line from my smb.conf because certain tools complained about it being there. After the upgrade, I followed the Samba 3 HOWTO docs on samba.org. I created my domadm, domguests, and

Jorn, Your reminder is appreciated. You are completely correct. We will review and fix the documentation. Thank you. - John T.

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, when i did testing with group mapping, i mapped a Unix Group(domadm) with Windows Domain Group(domain users). then i access a samba share from Windows Domain User(administrator), and create a file. but the file's group is still Windows Domain Group(domain user), not Unix Group(domadm). is it right? if it is, how should i check if my group mapping is working well? thanks a lot in

I have compiled Samba 3.0.22 on Solaris 10 (sparc.) It has been configured as a PDC with a domain of, say, "SAMBADOMAIN." It has some predefined group mappings for the Administrators and "Domain Admins" group. These mappings were dropped in later versions of Samba. (I have been working with 3.0.24 as well. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to play nice with

Hi, I have Samba 3 as Domain controller. From a Windows 2000 Professional I share a folder (c:\test) with access permission for certain domain user (MYDOMAIN\yo). I can access to that folder from other w2000 with that user validated into it. If I add that user to a unix group (domadm) and map this group to Domain Admins (net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

Hi, I'm trying to join ?linux machines to AD domain with the help of winbind. In order to make account managent more easier, I want to create corresponding group maps from every linux native group, then join domain users/groups to the new LOCAL groupmap. At present, BUILTIN groupmap works fine with the steps: net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-32-544 unixgroup=admin ntgroup=BUILTIN\\Administrators

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

I do think its a classic upgrade from 3.x to 4.x that causes this. And the samba 3 was a samba with smbldap-tools or configured with something like : net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm rid=512 type=d ( as shown here https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html ) > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba

Well, my Samba 3.0.4 is joined to a w2k AD and works fairly well so far, as it's not in a production environment yet. I am now testing it for such a release and have encountered a permission problem. Unless I chmod -R 777 the Samba share directroy, users can only read files on the share, including the ADS users in Domain Admins. Reading the Samba online manual, I figured the groupmap

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, 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

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Server: Debian Etch and their Samba 3.0.24-2 Client: WinXP SP2, MSI v3, all hot fixes The following settings are in place on the server: #!/bin/bash # # initGrps.sh # Map Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin rid=512 type=d net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users"

Howdy People, I have a problem with roaming profiles in samba 3.0.5 on redhat9 ( installed from the rpm with rpm -Uv samba.3.0.5.rpm I am not using LDAP ( dont know how and as I am a Netware person on a very steep learning curve with Samba, didn't want to complicate the installation after seeing every second posting on this list as a ldap problem).
