Hi guys and congrats for bringing a fantastic project to the open source world. I' ve setup a samba4 pdc succefully and i am able to do domain logins. I was also able to add the automount schema into the ldb. But when it comes to sudoers schema i cant import it in.

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland

So like at least a handful of people before me I have begun the valiant stugle to unify logins at my place of business. I have setup a test LDAP + Kerberos V cluster. And I have Setup a test Samba 3 PDC. What I would like to do is get Samba to handle kerberos ticket granting and authentication to the (LDAP + Kerberos V) Directory. Such that Windows is completely unaware of the existence of

I have the following situation: a network with 30 Windows NT Server on different sites, 800 clients with Windows XP; I want to migrate to Samba instead of Windows 2003 Server, but I have the effort to manage group policies, domain policies and workstation policies on the XP Clients; is there a way to solve this without Active Directory e.g. Samba with LDAP??

Hello, I try to migrate my old SAMBA Installation to a new Installation. SAMBA is running. But my Windows users can see the shares but cannot open Files. My old Installation /etc/samba/smb.con ...        workgroup = DUCK         server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)         interfaces = eth0 192.168.1.200/255.255.255.0 localhost         bind interfaces only = Yes         security =

Is there a way to create an NTConfig.POL file without having access to an NT4, w2k or w2k3 server? Is there a way to do it in linux? Or a winxp/9x workstation?

Dumb Question... What is the value of a Domain in a small Samba-server environment? Why is it better than a "security = user"? What are the drawbacks of a Domain in a small (singleserver even) environment? Thanks!

Dear list, I would like to know if the following statements are true, just to make sure that my understanding of passwords/ldap stuff is correct... Vampireing passwords from an nt4 pdc only populates the ldap server with windows passwords, and not the (linux) userPassword. Authenticating linux logons against this ldap server is therefore only possible using winbind. 'Normal' ldap

I have looked a bit through some of the archives for this list, and I have caught different ideas on this matter.. I've also read through the HOWTOs on how to do this stuff, but I haven't received the same results that I was expecting, so I need someone to help me out a bit, give me a definite YES or NO and if YES, how? I have the latest release candidate of samba 3 installed on redhat-9.

I am a Unix Admin, trying to join a NT4 domain. I do not have access to the PDC. When setting up a new machine, either Windows or Unix, on the domain, I ask the NT admins to create a new machine account on the domain for my machine. I then "associate" my machine with that machine account. I say "associate" because I'm not exactly sure what happens, something about

We did some tests with msdfs on HP/UX with samba version 2.2.1.a and we found a strange problem. We create a msdfs root on a HP/UX system with samba version 2.2.1.a and create a link in it to an HP/UX system with samba version 2.0.7. We mapped the link in the msdfs root on a NT4 system to drive F. The share contains the source of samba and in explorer we went to :

I use 'User Manger for Domain' on a NT4 member server to access the SAMof the Samba 3.0.0 PDC. It retrieves all the user and group accounts perfectly. Then I click 'Policies' ----> 'User Right', allow the group 'Account Operator' to 'add workstations to domain', it allows me to click through 'OK', but it doesn't save the policy. I can use

Question: Right now samba4 is great as in all-in-one solution (samba, kerberos, ldap, dns) into one service. Is it possible to split it up so that for example, I run openldap on one server, kerberos on another server, and then dns/samba on a third server? br, Quinn

Hello, I maintain a network of numerous Linux workstations, several Apples, and a few Windows machines. The Apples and Windows XP machines already grab shared data via Samba and the remaining data is exported to the Linux machines via NFS. I am in the process of migrating the existing authentication system from XYZ123 to Kerberos and going to place user data---with the exception of passwords

Hi, I've got an ageing NT4 server on our NT4 domain. The hardware is getting unreliable and few people use it. Unfortunately/predicatably the few people who use it are senior staff and they have some (important, naturally) Excel spreadsheets which link to files on this server by name. As I haven't been entirely successful in weening them off this server I've been keeping it ticking

Hello, this is the first time I write to the samba list and I hope my question is not off topic. I want to set up a samba server to replace an Active Directory for my Windows workstations. So far, I have a LINUX network that works perfectly, all my users are stored in a LDAP server and their authentication is done against a MIT Kerberos server. Hence all users have a valid kerberos ticket

Hi All Experts, I am about to extend our production Samba4 schema to add a few intra-organizational attributes (Employee ID,Passport No., Date of Joining, Date of Leaving) . How can I make change in my samba4 schema. I have already make a post in the forum, but got no reply. Sorry for posting again. But precaution should be taken in to prevent the server from any damage. Kindly help. With
