After, oh, six months of attempts here and there to read everyone's experiences with Samba/LDAP and inability for a windows 2000/XP machine to join the domain, I finally discovered what was not working properly. In my smb.conf I put: add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" As instructed by many How-to's and Idealx. However, I thought to myself, %m

I'm using Samba 3.0.3 on Fedora Core 2 with OpenLDAP 2.1.29 for a backend. I'm getting to typical "The user name could not be found." error upon trying to join a Windows box. I've gone through every digest on lists.samba.org and other sites and nothing has worked yet. Any suggestions: Here's what I've done so far: 1. Installed everything via RPMS: [root@smbtest

I'm pretty sure that we have our problems solved by using %m, but I will triple check and post results in a few hours. I don't really want to mislead anyone into having a six month struggle as I have had with this.

Hi, It's been a while since I created my smbpasswd file, and therefore it is no longer in synch with my Unix file. I've added and removed users over time, and now I need a way to update the 'smbpasswd' file without losing the encrypted passwords that are already in place (ie. I don't want to just run 'makesmbpasswd.sh' again). So, I've written the

Greetings, I've been pulling my hair out on this problem for several days and I'm not really any closer to a solution. I hope someone out there can help me. I'm trying to set up a samba PDC on a Fedora Core 2 box using an LDAP backend (on another server). The base install of everything is working fine. At the unix level LDAP connectivity is configured and working properly for

Hello, I want to use samba v3.3.x to implement an NT4/Win2k style domain: a samba PDC and a samba BDC, using ldapsam for the 'passdb backend'. I plan to use RedHat Directory Server v8.2 as the ldap server. I'm trying to sort out how user/group management and nss will work. I'm confused about how/when the samba-supplied ldap schema is used (I mean the schema that's in the

Hi, I've reported this before but I guess I'll have to do it again, since it's not fixed yet or I'm understanding something wrong here. The problem is that smbldap-useradd -w 'machinename' will add only posixAccount entrys into ldap but it should add both posixAccount and sambaSAMAccount entrys. So if one doesn't add correct machine account entrys manually to ldap

Greetings I am nearing being prepared to get our corporate network from Active Directory to samba3 with ldap. The last hurdle is to get an administrative interface to the ldap repository containing the users and Groups. I,m hoping for some recommendations. I have attempted the following.

I have a Fedora Core 1 machine and I am trying to install "smbldap-tools-0.8.4-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm" However, I am having the following problem: [root@jesus root]# rpm -i smbldap*.rpm warning: smbldap-tools-0.8.4-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 error: Failed dependencies: perl(Net::LDAP) is needed by smbldap-tools-0.8.4-1.1.fc2.dag

Hi!Is it possible to get the samba authenticate a user and map to his homedirectory only using posixaccount or are there some attributes that windows absolutely require like in the samba-objectclasses?Any configuration examples if this is possible.I have been experimenting with pam.d/samba using pam_ldap.so module, but no success so far.Currently I have setup the server so it can authenticate a

St?phane, The book "Samba-3 by Example" is being reprinted very soon. Up to date builds of the PDF are available on the Samba web site daily. This document can be downloaded from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf In chapter 5 I have fully documented how Samba-3 can be deployed with LDAP and using the smbldap-tools. It works perfectly for me and in many sites that

Hi, I have some machines (winXP and win2k) that cannot join my domain. Others I have joined to the domain. I am using the smbldap-tools 0.8.9 with an add machine script as follows: add machine script = /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" The LDAP entity gets created with objectClasses top, inetOrgPerson, and posixAccount. My impression is that samba then comes

I can NOT find any information on how to get the following into the LDAP tr= ee (and where they should be located) from the documentation. I am definite= ly an LDAP beginner and assembling the tree from reading schema's is still = over my head. I am able to connect to samba using only LDAP authentication = and can add users, but that is all I can successfully do, "net groupmap add=

Or maybe it was the upgrade from FC2 -> FC4.......... I recently was running a FC2 Samba PDC and OpenLDAP, using Samba-3.0.10. After I upgraded the server from FC2 to FC4 samba was broken and wouldn't load because it was complaining about a library file not existing. (libldap.so.2) I believe.. Sure enough it wasn't there. So I had to recompile Samba 3.0.10 again. Well the compile

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

I am looking at my computer accounts that were created using smbldap-useradd.pl -w workstationname. And I see the following objectClasses: top inetOrgPerson posixAccount sambaSamAccount I understand I need one structural objectClass, but don't understand why inetOrgPerson is being used. Couldn't I use sambaSidEntry instead? sambaSidEntry is structural, and only requires sambaSID.

I was pointed to: http://web.vcs.u52.k12.me.us/linux/smbldap/ As an effective script to get samba/ldap configured for a PDC. It is written for Fedora 3 core or the K12LTSP distro. of course I discovered this after installing the Centos distro. Now it is decision time: stay with Centos and get this working or move the the K12 distro. This setup is for the small business network in my basement

I've installed Samba [samba-3.0.10-1.fc2.i386] with ldap backend and using smbldap-tools.

I was doing it as Administrator of the domain that has uid=0. Should I do this as root, so I have to
