I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

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'm currently running the samba3x packages on Centos 5.6. I recently switched to them from the SERnet Samba 3.3 packages to Centos Samba3x packages (smbd now reports Version 3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1). At the same time, I switched to ldapsam as a backend. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to change a user's password with smbpasswd (as root). smbpasswd did not report any

Hallo, I'm trying to convert smbpasswd to passdb.tdb. cd /etc/samba/private # (where smbpasswd lies) pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb converts all human users, but it converts (or transfers) no machine account. In "smbpasswd" are many entries beginning with (p.e.) mac001$ for these accounts, pdbedit -L -v | grep -i mac shows

[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, I was having problem with the tdbsam backend in which a particular user got listed twice with pdbedit. (http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg109110.html) Without much hope in fixing it, I am planning to re-generating passdb.tdb on my PDC by: (1)exporting tdbsam to smbpasswd backend (2)delete passdb.tdb (3)re-import smbpasswd to tdbsam backend With the command `

Hi, i (naively) would like to have local AND ldap users (and groups...) on my standalone fileserver (security = user). "passdb backend = ldapsam" already works OK and i found some old posts on the internet about "chaining" passdb backends. so i tried "chaining" ldapsam and tdbsam, but although testparm doesn't complain and i can add local users with

Hi, I have to edit all my samba users password expiration time and users full names. (I changed from samba 2.2 to 3.0 today.) But pdbedit doesn't work. example command: pdbedit -r -u %user% -f "%NAME%" I installed samba 3.0.5-2.src.rpm from samba.org on RedHat ES 3. Is it still a bug? Thanks! Nicole

I'm using samba on CentOS 3.7 (3.0.9 + rh patches) I had smbpasswd as backend and I'm testing migration to tdbsam. After exporting successfully to tdbsam and setting passdb backend = tdbsam in smb.conf if I change from inside a windows xp machine the password ot the user and then pdbedit-Lv user I get Logon time: 0 Logoff time: ven, 13 dic 1901 21:45:51 GMT Kickoff time:

I am running Samba ver 3.0.33 on Solaris 10 (sparc.) Initially I had the server configured as a domain controller with the "passdb backend = tdbsam" option. The underlying unix accounts were stored in LDAP (Sun Directory Server.) Those accounts are also used for non-Samba services. Since I have domain trusts with NT domains, I am using winbind and idmapping. The idmap data was

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, Looking to upgrade from Samba 3.0.11 to HP CIFS/9000 2.03 (which is basically a patched Samba 3.0.22) on HP-UX 11i. Looking at simultaneously moving from smbpasswd as my passdb backed to tdbsam. Looks pretty idiot proof, and I think I should have very little trouble. However, here is one slight problem that I'm running into so far: #

Hi everyone, my last question was some kind of bumpy and hard to understand. So I will try a better explanation of the issue this time. I was running a Samba 3.0.26a and tdbsam based PDC with roaming profiles for several years. Now the need came up to serve Windows Vista and up with roaming profiles, too. I patched all Vista, 7 and Server 2008 R2 nodes with the .reg provided in

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

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

I've decided to share my experiences with the list in hopes that it will help someone else doing something similar avoid the problems I experienced, and hopefully, have a better experience. Here's the scope of my project: Original installation: - Samba 2.2.x series server - Workgroup security (read: local security, not domain security) - no domain controller - password database is

Whenever I try to change the samba password for administrator, I get the following error: --- Unable to modify TDB passwd !

Hey! I'm trying to get a web application I'm developing to authenticate against the samba user database. As far as I can tell, what I have to do is "simply" set up a PAM service that uses pam_smbpass.so, and then use a PAM client library to authenticate against it. For the second part, I found a Python example that authenticates against a given PAM service, and it works fine

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

Hi, last Saturday we reinstalled our fileserver to setup redundancy using DRBD and Heartbeat. We also upgraded Samba to 3.0.23c, which is acting as a PDC. We are using OpenLDAP to store accounts. I populated the OpenLDAP database using a LDIF file that I created on the old server before shutting it down. I also transfered all Samba tdb files to the new server. Everything went pretty
