similar to: ldap configuration oddity

I very much appreciate the help thus far, but I think it has strayed a bit from the actual problem. The problem is that when I join a system to the samba domain it creates /some/ but not all of the required attributes for the computer account. The process then fails as samba looks in the wrong part of my directory server. I would strongly prefer to put the workstation accounts in their own tree

Hello! I want to permit the root account to be called administrator from the win clients in my network. Therefore I have added 'root = administrator' in my /etc/samba/smbusers. I have also added 'username map = /etc/samba/smbusers' in smb.conf. When I try to log on as administrator from a windows client I get a message that the user does not exist. I am running samba 3 on

Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password"

Samba experts, Ok, we are having so many problems getting ldap to work, we decided to start over with our compile. We are compiling Samba --with-ldap on our AIX 5.1 system which uses gcc. Openldap (for client support) exists in /usr/local/openldap/2.2.17. In order for Samba to find the ldap.h file, we had to configure with CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/openldap/2.2.17/include"

Hi all, I would like to use AutoFS on Samba but I encounter difficulties with ldap entries.

Anyone out there using ActiveLDAP have an idea how I can accomplish creating an object one level below a known base where we have a variable item in the middle? That first sentence doesn''t even make sense to me. Here''s what I want to do: I have a user class that I use for managing users. Each user gets a ou called addressbook (which in turn will contain sub-entries, but

I have a patch that enables "user password timeout" for 2.2.2. It works only for WinNT, Win2000 (tested and Samba on AIX and Linux) and I think with WinXP. It does not work with Win9x. You can download the patch from http://www.m-wohlfarth.de/Downloads/Samba/samba.html. I never had the problem with automatically expiring password as described in the originating message - I couldn't

Hi Gruss, At this stage there is only one server, running 3.6.25 on Ubuntu12.04. The plan to get LDAP to work on this one. Then add the second server 4.x and the promote it to BDC and then demote this one. Just a side info, we didn't want to go tdbsam in both as I read it breaks the domain trust. The domain names are real ones. I ran the commands you suggested, nothing in reply. I tried
