similar to: Samba3 - LDAP - USRMGR.EXE

passdb appears a lot of times in smba logs, even if it uses LDAP as a backend, as in my config. Maybe the log message should be changed in the code for something easier to debug... But this error message you said, only appears if you try to add or delete the user twice from LDAP, so you should remove "-a" from the add user script and comment out the user delete script if you intend to

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

Dear lists... But this still un-solved the real problem to join w2k to samba3-ldap . I'm here with the same situation. I even switch my distro to SuSe with same result, still cant join domain. Please give us hint how to solve or debug this problem. regards reza -----Original Message----- From: Craig White [mailto:craigwhite@azapple.com] Sent: Tue 7/20/2004 9:48 AM To:

Hi all, I've setup Samba 3.0.5 + OpenLDAP (ldapsam) and everything work correctly. However, while my Windows 200x workstation join the domain, I need to join it twice. Here is what I do: 1. Go to Computer properties -> Computer Name -> Change 2. Enter the new domain name 3. Enter Administrator and password then, it will return me that the user name cannot be found. I've checked

Hi @all, I have some question I can't find a explanation. I have a standalone Samba3 as PDC. It works perfect with LDAP. Now I want to implement Policies. 1) Is it possible to use GPO from ads ? And if so, where to store this policies. 2) Or can I only use policies created with poledit from NT4 which should be stored in NETLOGON. Any help or links about this would be apreciated.

I have Samba version 3.0.2a-3mdk with an LDAP backend. Works great but I can't seem to get user manager for domains to work with it. I'm thinking that perhaps it might be a samba bug that has probably since been corrected. Can anyone validate this idea?

I have been trying to setup two samba servers on Fedora Core 2 for the past 30 hours and am about to jump out a window. I'm simply trying to create a few shares that multiple WinXP clients can have readonly access to and a select few have write privilages. Also, a few shares that are are private for a select few users with write privilages. In all cases, anybody should be able to browse the

I've got a Fedora Core 2 box running Samba smbd version 3.0.7-2.FC2. I've set it up as a Domain master for a new domain. I setup a Win2K Server box and had it join the domain. I made an "administrator" user, I mapped the groups via: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users I

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:

Good Day, I downloaded samba-2.2.9, installed and configuted it on a Solaris 5.7 system. I have configured it as a PDC, however whenever i try to join the domain i have created, Windows ask that i enter a username and password authorized to join systems to the domain. Normally with a Windows 2000 server entering the administrators username and password will do it, however I get this error

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

Hi everybody, i have discovered following problem. System suse 9.2 pdc samba 3.0.20b ldap. a system user which was in the group Domain Admins ( as secondary group of course ) , cannot be removed from the group, by usrmgr ( in real ldap the user gets deleted ! ) If the user account gets deleted completly and recreated it is shown again in the domain admins group.( which isnt so in ldap ) This

I currently have samba version 3.0.23 installed using ldap as the backend. I am experiencing the same problems as Holger Wesser mentioned in his posting "USRMGR.exe not working properly". However, it appears that the fix of creating the group mappings does not work. They appear to be mapped correctly on my setup. My net groupmap list is: Domain Admins

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase
