similar to: Samba server authenticating to NetWare server?

Can netware logins and password authenticate to samba shares? If so is it scalable? We have a about 50000 netware users. How do you set it up. Thanks Greg Turnbull

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just

Howdy All, I am the adminstrator in a school which has netware 4.11 ( five servers in the nds tree )as its main student platform. This has been working very well over the past 6 years or so. The school has the ability to obtain a microsoft solution at no cost ( except for the new hardware required, which is the reason for this email in the first place ). Advice and opinions are sought on the

I have attached a diff file with the changes to existing OpenSSH source files to accomodate the NetWare platform. All changes are #ifdef wrapped using one in one of the following defines: HAVE_NETWARE - Building for NetWare USE_EDIR - Using eDirectory(TM) for authentication. NICI - Using Novell International Cryptography Infrastructure (NICI) I have successfully built the OpenSSH-3.5p1

Essentially, at this point my head is about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is

Hello! I use a PAM-module (pam_ncp_auth from ncpfs) for authentication against a netware server. pam_ncp_auth can create local UNIX user accounts from information in NDS, and it works perfect with login, gdm and telnet. But not with openssh (2.5 and 2.9). It works perfect if the user already is in /etc/passwd, but the first time he logs on he doesn't exist there. In that case openssh call

Hi Ronnie, if your printer do work, this message is useless for you, trash it. I cannot confirm Tim's hypothesis, but i can say i presently have the same problem as you: in the printers folder there's that red message alerting me. My PC is running Win2K pro. I did not mind it, right-clicked on the printer's icon (my specific case is: lpq@router.x.y) and chose 'connect...'

Hello, Can Samba join an eDirectory or a domain controlled by a NDS ? Acyualy, my need is to do SSO for IE with Squid, using the NTLM protocol. I know it uses Samba for domains controlled by an Active Directory. Does anybody know if it is possible with an eDirectory. Thx for any answer or advice.

Hi, i have a succesfully PDC Setup on a Novell/Suse OES1 SP2 Server with eDirectory/LDAP and Samba Version 3.0.26a-0.7-1616-SUSE-SLES9. Only Problem is, a User with a blank Password can't be authenticated on a Domain Member Server (Users with Passwords doesn't have this Problem). A Samba Level 10 Log show me this: <snip> [2008/05/14 16:25:48, 9]

Samba Users, I am looking for a Large Scale SAMBA success or failure story. I have been using Samba for a long time without any issues, however replacing many Netware servers with Linux/Solaris running Samba is a different story. Here is what is running through my mind 1. Novell 4.x causes a never ending stream of problems, including attacking and flooding the network with NDS tree fragments.

I'm having a problem adding a password to users. I get "NDS error: no additional information available (-306) when I use smbpasswd. Also I can see in ndstrace that the search string is (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=WORKGROUP/test)) and not (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=test)). I have "ldap fileter = (&(cn=%u)(objectClass=sambaAccount)) in my smb.conf. Another

Hi there. I'm new to the list and I have a few questions about Samba. I've built a few Win9x/Samba networks, but I've been asked to build a Win2000/Samba network and I have a few issues. First off, is there some way with Win2000 and Samba to get a workstation independant login? Right now I have to create the user on the 2000 box for them to be able to login. Second, what is the best

Howdy everyone, I'm new to this list and new to Samba (although others at my company have experience with it). Anyway, I'm sure this has come up many times in the past but I have several Netware servers that people at remote sites need access to. The clients are Windows 95/98/NT, they all connect to their own NT domain (one domain per site), and they do NOT want to install the Novell

Hello all. I am a little (allot) lost on my next hurdle in getting an asterisk system built. I would like to get my asterisk servers configured exclusively from database. I have read through the wiki on this subject but once again I find that there is a certain level of knowledge that is assumed. As of now I know nothing about databases in general and specifically MYSQL. I do not know

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

Hi List, We have a large (6500 desktops) network distributed over a few dozen sites. The clients are (almost) all Windows95 and WinXP. We currently use Netware as our network operating system, and are looking at the possibility of moving to (Samba on) Linux to provide file and print services. One of the nice things about Novell NDS is that you can specify printers that are available to

Hi, is anybody out there who is using Novell Edir. with samba? I have searched the archive and found some random notes but no real success story. Here is what I have achived so far. Maybe someone can give me some hints. I have tried the samba-nds.schema that comes with the 2.2.7a tar ball. While I was able to import/add it to EDir. it did not work for me, because the "lmPassword"

We have a co-operative project where we have 2 separate organisations using 2 different server environments. One uses Active Directory and windows file servers, the other eDirectory and Netware servers. We want to do a file server that handle users from both domains. It is easy enough to use kerberos authentication for the Active Directory users and LDAP to an eDirectory server for the Netware
