Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

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

Hi all, I use tdbsam backend. When I create a box for win2k machine: # pdbedit -a -m -u machine$ tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (machine$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) What is wrong? Other failer message: Unable to open TDB rid database! Regards, Roland

Hello Anytime I try to do anything with the root user (like join the domain) or run 'net user' or 'net group' with root, when I enter the correct password, I get NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL .... I've been trying more commands, and if I run tdbedit -e=tdbsam (to export the smbpasswd to tdbsam style), I get this error : tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [root]

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

The exact configuration mentioned below used to work on rhel3, and when updated to rhel4 it stopped working... when visited the samba log file, there was this error : useradd: invalid user name 'wpvm01$' rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_create_user(2272) could not add user/computer wpvm01$ to passdb. Check permissions? [2005/03/17 07:42:27, 0] passdb/pdb_tdb.c:tdb_update_sam(609)

OK. I've given up on using the 'net vampire' feature to suck our NT4 info. Now I want to start afresh. I've set the smb.conf file up, and run the script I found in the HTML docs to map common Windows Domain groups to unix groups. This worked OK. Now I want to create a root account so I can actually join the domain from a Windows 2000 client. When I run:

Hi, I'm running Samba as a PDC on a Debian Etch machine (3.0.24-6etch9). It's been some time (months, maybe 1 year) since I last added a new machine to the domain, but I'd need to do it today and I'm getting an error: #>pdbedit -a -m Woodstock-VMXP tdb_update_sam: struct samu (woodstock-vmxp$) with no RID!

I'm trying to set up a samba PDC. I've been following the directions in "The Official Samab-3" book. I still don't understand how to add users! I'm using tdbsam and I set up all the add user scripts and what not in the smb.conf. pdbedit won't let me do anything unless I add the user with adduser(what's the point of the scripts?) and even when I add the user by

Hi All, I have a setup using tdbsam as a backend, I can add accounts using pdbedit -a <username> but I have only been able to add one machine account. I can't figure out why. # pdbedit -a -m test tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (test$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) I have verified that there is no entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for the machine name I

Well I thank everybody that helped me get swat working. I am very thankful. Now, though, it seems I have more problems. When I try to join my samba domain, my XP box says "a domain controller for the domain edith could not be contacted." Okay, well, after reading up on things in this list, it seems that I need to create a machine account. I didn't have to on my NT box. When I

Hi, When I upgraded from Fedora 22 to Fedora 25 my Win10 box lost the ability to connect to shares on the F25 box. The F25 box can still access shares on the Win10 box. F25 is currently running Samba 4.5.13 and I have a simple workgroup setup. Let's call the Win10 box 'fred' and the F25 box 'ethel'. When fred tries to access a share on ethel, I am prompted for username and
