I recently converted my Samba PDC from ldapsam to tdbsam as I was having too many problems with the ldap backend failing after a power outages. I now have a few questions regarding tdbsam: 1. Is there any GUI user administration tool that I can use in conjunction with a tdbsam backend? Usrmgr seems to function as user root on the domain, but does not seem very reliable. I'm looking for

Hello According to my post "samba migration to another distro llinux" on samba lists I would like to make migration of samba from one machine to another. I can't find information how to transfer accounts,policies,users,domain SID and other options from PDC (tdbsam backend)(current server) to BDC (tdbsam backend)future server.

Hello members I really have ran out of options here, and I don't know how to resolve this issue. I have a Samba LDAP primary domain controller. I have been using LAM - LDAP Account Manager to manage the accounts. The command line appears to be working correctly ie - getent passwd, getent group, id username, id computer, adding and removing accounts. Problem: When I logon to the LAM page

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

Hi, I'm setting up a new Samba server, and am debating between LDAP (complex, and I'm not that familiar with it) and tdbsam for the password backend... I understand the physical limitations (single PDC, no replication, etc), which is fine, since this is a small office - about 50 workstations, possibly growing to as many as 75, but no more than that. What are the limitations of the

Hello, I am trying to find and easy way for end users to add Samba accounts to a Linux server. Some of my end users are schoot teachers, and they have to add tens of students to their Samba servers. I have a running Linux with Samba, configured upon the directions of Samba-3 by example, chapter 3, "Secure Office Networking", this is Samba with tdbsam, not LDAP. I can create accounts

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 According to NT4 Migration Using tdbsam Backend http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html#id2604610 I would like to transfer PDC settings (users,groups sids) to BDC and later make from BDC PDC machine.

Help... I'm running Samba v3.0.25b, recently upgraded. I use tdbsam, winbindd etc. The Samba machine is a PDC. If the machine is FRED and the domain is HOME, should I set up a machine account for FRED and join that to the HOME domain ? Should the machine FRED have its own domain SID ? Or... is are the machine FRED and the domain HOME one and the same ? Thanks, Chris -- Chris Hall

Help... I'm running Samba v3.0.25b, recently upgraded from v3.0.23a. I use tdbsam, winbindd etc. Winbind appears to be broken. When I do: * getent passwd none of the DOMAIN\xxxx users are listed * getent group the BUILTIN\administrators and BUILTIN\users groups are listed, but none of the DOMAIN\xxxx groups * wbinfo -u gives an enigmatic "Error

I'm setting up a new domain with Samba 3.0.30 as the PDC using the tdbsam backend. 'net group' yields an empty list, which is consistent with the cautious appoach that Samba takes: don't do anything automagically. But, a new Windows PDC will come online with several well-known domain users and groups. Did I miss the step where I run some stock script that creates these expected

High there ... I cannot join my Samba PDC any longer with my XP-machines, I mean I'm not be able to create new machine accounts. The existing machine-accounts in the tdb-database works properly, all the existing XP-machines are joined without any problems. Only it isn't possible to joint the Samba PCD with new machines... My first Samba PDC-Configuration with this tdbsam as the passwd

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

It is running on Redhat 9.0 (I've planned to upgrade to Centos 5.5 in a second setp) and without any ldap backend (tdbsam actually).

I've spended days trying to get a Samba3 PDC configuration. It almost works now, but I have experimented a lot of problems and now my configuration is still FAR from perfect. I have no more time left so I'm looking for somebody to share his/her configuration files with me. That is what I'm setting: Samba 3.0.0 PDC with LDAP backend.
