Hello Samba Users, I work for the IT Department of a small company and we've already replaced our NT4 File Servers with Linux servers running Samba. We'd like to replace some of our windows workstations also. It would be really cool if employee's could log into the Linux workstations using their existing NT accounts ! Has anybody had much luck using winbind and PAM to allow log on to

Hi, I just can't seem to get winbind to work on my BDC. I'm using FC3 and samba 3.0.20rc2. My PDC is RHEL4 running Samba 3.0.14a. / Openldap. I can join the BDC to the domain successfully using "net rpc join..." , but when i enter wbinfo -t to check the trust relationship i get checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was (0x0) Could not check secret I

Hello, I've configured a squid proxy server to use the wb_auth module to authenticate NT Users . I'm aware that this is not the squid users mailing list but since the wb_auth modle uses the winbind application i thought this might be a good place to look for some help. Basically, the wb_auth module asks winbind to authenticate a users. Winbind then returns a '0' if the

Hi, I am using a samba domain controller with an LDAP backend. I am also using samba domain controllers with this setup similar to those described in the 'Domain Members, Updating Samba and Migration' chapter of the Samba By Example book. On the domain member servers winbind stores the UID<->SID in the Idmap section of the directory. This appears to be working correctly, however

Hi everybody, I'm having a problem with winbind creating 2 entries for some of my users that really wrecking my head ;-/ . My situation is as follows : I have a typical Samba (3.0.14a)/LDAP setup. I have a trusted domain (another Samba/LDAP setup) and use winbind to map the users from the foreign domain, with the UID to SID mappings stored in LDAP . This works very well. The relevant part

Hello to all.

All, Smbpasswd -j DOMAIN is no longer the way to join a Windows domain instead one needs to use net join. However, net utility, although it's a part of Samba release, is not present on the system. Samba was installed using rpm packages. Here is what's on the system: samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1 samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.1 samba-swat-3.0.9-1.3E.1 Any thoughts? Thanks, Jarek

Hi folks I don't understand why it is possible to access a share on the samba server from a pc that hasn't a Trust Account on the samba server. All i do is to log in on the pc with a local login account (not in the domain). Then i can access the shares in the following way on the server: \\server\MyShare pc asks for username/password --> i login with a valid combination --> i get

Thank's for you Guys, Wolfgang and Ian, I think I will try to read about Winbind and implement it in my PDC. But, what do you think about my theory. Is it right ? "Users cannot access resources in the network if they don't join to Domain. And, only administrator with root user+password can make users joined to Domain" Thanks SA

How exactly do Samba 3.x and ACLs interrelate? With the mount parameter I've turned on ACLs on the whole filesystem that Samba has various pointers into (including all the home directories and the netlogon). I started out naively assuming that the *nix uidNumber/gidNumber Samba mapped the end user to would behave exactly the same whether they were a Samba user or were logged on locally. But

Dear, I have PDC Server running under Redhat 9 and use samba 2.2.7. It has running until now. That I know, users cannot access resources in the network if they don't join to Domain. And, only administrator with root user+password can make users joined to Domain. But, I have one problem. There is one user, bring the private notebook. He create ip address (same with his office-computer),

Hi there, I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 using ldapsam. I've got an interdomain trust setup across a vpn connection with a 2k3sp1 domain (DOMB). The trust works. What is strange is that a user from DOMB can't access any shares until they browse a share on our domain controller, say netlogon, then samba creates a new posix account for them in the ou=users base. I have

Hi, I recently migrated from an NT4 Domain to a Samba domain with LDAP backend. We use Exchange 5.5 on NT4 as our mail/groupware. All existing users on the domain appear to be using the Exchange Server without any problems. However, when i create new users they cannot access their mail box'es from Outlook. The Event log on the Exchange Server reports the following error : > A logon

Hello all, We have a few aliased Ethernet addresses on our server and if I do not use the Bind statement in the "Global" section then the NMBD seems to try to bind to all of the addresses. We are actually using OpenVPN which make the connections just fine on a 172.16.x.x subnet to "tun0" device. The problem is that Samba does not seem to find the tun0 device and reports

Hello All, I'm looking for some advice \ shared past experiences of users on the list. I am in the process of planning a migration from an existing NT Domain to a Samba 3 / LDAP based domain. However, the existing NT4 PDC is also home to our Exchange 5.5 email server which we would like to keep in service. I imagine what i need to do is add the old NT4 PDC server to the new Samba Domain once i

Hi, I just downloaded the fedora samba-3.0.20pre2 source rpm. I built the binary RPM's using the rpmbuild -bb samba-spec command.

Hello All, I have been trying all afternoon to rebuild the Samba RPM for my Fedora 3 with the MySQL passdb support and from what I can see it only needs the inclusion of "--with-expsam=mysql" in the SPEC file in addition to the regular ones. The problem is that no matter what version of Samba I try to rebuild, it always gice an error at the same place:
