similar to: Difficulty joining domain

This is an immensely frustrating problem. I try to logon to my Samba 3.0.11 PDC running on SuSE, and the Samba logs report that it all went swimmingly: [2005/06/02 16:34:45, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(305) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [stpierre] -> [stpierre] -> [stpierre] succeeded So w00t, right. But no! Windows rejects my login with a "bad

I have the exact same problem as this guy: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-September/125699.html He describes it much better and in much more detail than I could, so I'll let him speak for me. Unfortunately, I don't have the same solution. nss_ldap is configured properly, and things like 'getent passwd' and 'id machine-acct$' show the machine accounts as

I have a small domain with a Samba PDB and two Windows clients. My goal is to have all accounts held centrally on the Linux box, but the administrator login doesn't work as an administrator. That is, I can login just fine as 'administrator' (or as any of the other accounts in the Samba password db), but I don't get administrative privileges in Windows. In smb.conf, I have:

I'm trying to get Samba on a Mac OS X box running as a PDC with an LDAP backend. I've read through all of the major walkthroughs I can find, and we've actually already got it running very nicely as a file server; people are currently authenticating against a different PDC and then mapping drives from the Samba box in question. However, I'd like it to be the PDC eventually, but

I recently have upgraded from Samba 2.2.8 to 3.0.7. I am using LDAP as a backend, but I'm running into a problem. Namely, since my user entries have no sambaSID attribute, Samba decides they don't exist. (At least, that's how it looks in the logs, included below.) I've looked through the conversion script that's included with Samba 3, but it just uses the rid attribute,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a nasty problem with Samba 2.2.8a that I asked about here a while back, and I need someone with a working LDAP-Samba PDC -- preferably 2.2.8a, ideally running on Mac OS X, but I'll take what I can get -- to post the results of an ldapsearch for one of their machine trust accounts. All I'd need is the results of a command along these lines: ldapsearch -LLL

Samba 3.0.21c, RHEL4. About a week ago, we restarted our Samba server because nmbd had run amok. Since that restart, our Apple clients have periodically disconnected -- by most reports, they disconnect every 15-45 minutes. It doesn't appear to be synchronized, i.e., every Mac on campus doesn't disconnect at once, but only occasionally. They get a message similar to: "A server you

I've got a Windows XP box that's unable to join my Samba (3.0.20) domain. We've got about 400 other computers, mostly WinXP, that have joined the domain quite successfully. I'm not sure when the most recent one joined, though, but I'm reasonably sure nothing has changed since then. The Samba log gives the following when I try to the computer to the domain: [2006/02/28

I am trying to set up Samba 2.2.9 on a SuSE 9.1 box as an LDAP PDC whose only job will be authentication. Our LDAP server is on a separate box. I can join the domain just fine, but when I try to login via Windows, I get the following error: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account

A few computers -- two or three -- are very spotty about letting people log on. It seems -- and this could be off-base -- that they'll let anyone log on once, but will require a reboot before you can log on again. Sometimes, logging on works fine, though. There really appears to be little rhyme or reason to what happens. In the Samba logs, I'm getting: [2006/10/20 08:08:14, 0]

I had a problem similar to my current one a week or so ago, and I was encouraged to upgrade from Samba 2.2.9 to 3.0.7, which I did. Now that I've completed that nightmare, the problem I initially set out to fix is still there, just different. Namely: I am trying to set up Samba 3.0.7 on a SuSE 9.1 box as an LDAP PDC whose only job will be authentication. Our LDAP server is on a separate

I am attempting to join a domain managed by a Samba PDC from several Windows machines, both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. They all give a similar error. The Windows 2000 error gives me a URL that redirects to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/dns/tshoot/dns_tshoot2A.asp The XP error is attached. Any idea how I can fix this problem? If necessary, I can modify the

Hi, Here's my config file. I checked the error log and I have pasted that below my smb.conf file. I've tried everything in the HowTo and keep getting the same error message -read through -checked with testparm -applied registry patch for WinXP Any help you'd be willing to assist me with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike Here's the smb.conf file

I've got a file server running both Samba and Netatalk ([OT] which are two programs that dearly need to be rolled into one). I've *tried* to configure it to minimize problems between the two, but I've run into a problem where users can't delete folders that contain, e.g., .AppleDouble folders in them. When I try from smbclient, I get: NT_STATUS_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY removing

When a user tries logging in and enters the wrong password a few times in a row, their account becomes disabled. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? I couldn't find anything in the smb.conf man page about it. Alternatively, could we use a preexec script to just re-enable all accounts when there's a logon attempt? Or does that script only get executed after a user is authenticated?

I am running Samba in AD mode with 3 Samba DCs. I am trying to verify that I really am seeing all incoming connections in the log files to help trouble shooting. We work with Sernet who are AWESOME people, especially Bjorn, but I was wondering if there were any other ideas. Right now we have "log level = 1 auth_audit:3 auth_json_audit:3" set in our smb.conf. Are there any other ways

Hi, I am trying to get an xp machine to join a samba 3.0 pdc domain. I keep getting the following error below. I can view the pdc shares with no problem. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on getting this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The domain name homenet might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with

Hello!! I am trying to set up a Samba server with Win XP Pro clients. In brief, this is the current set up: Comp1: Firewall (DHCP) Linux Comp2: Proxy (Squid) Linux Comp3: W2K server (AD) My final objective is to replace Comp3 with a Linux server (Fedora Core 3) running Samba, which in turn will handle the roaming profiles. This is current problem that I am encountering: I edited the smb.conf

Hello, Since about two weeks I've noticed (I tink after an update but I don't know) that when I try to join new XP client to my domain I get this error: /0x0000232B/ RCODE_NAME_ERROR And something about "The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS" I don't paste all the description because it's in spanish, but I find a thread in this list with the same error
