similar to: removing unused machine account

Hallo, I can't join a win2K machine on my domain. I create the machine account dynamically in my smb.conf by the following line: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 200 -s /bin/false -M %u Now a machine account is created and added to my users (this part works ok) Samba also generates a machine account for samba (I could not find a line for that in my smb.conf) But the

Hello, Since I migrated from Sparc Solaris/Samba 3.0.22 to Intel SLES 10/Samba 3.0.25c, after re-inserting a machine in the samba domain, the smbpasswd LCT field is not any more updated. Does any one have an idea on what's going wrong ? Thank you for your help. LG

Hello. When I run smbpasswd from samba 3.0.23a on a MIPSEL system running Linux 2.4.20 as root, I'm NEVER asked for a password. Even when I create a new user in smbpasswd, I'm not asked: root@HD.bei.digitalprojects.com:/etc/samba# strings smbpasswd root:0:AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE:31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0:[U ]:LCT-44D63D42:

My question is, how come daevid (on XP) sees the following directories: \\linux\dae51d \\linux\homes Shouldn't there just be the home dir only? Why does "\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up, shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account dae51d (as

I just want a simple, globally accessible directory for anyone on my LAN. I don't care who they are, who they're logged in as on their windows machine, I don't care about security (it's my own private LAN!!!). Why is this so difficult to do? I've looked through the archives (which by the way, could someone spend a few minutes and put a SEARCH feature there. Following threads

Sorry if this is an FAQ...I have seen reports of this problem on several mailing lists, but never a solution. I have used Samba on Solaris for years, currently 2.2.1 on Solaris 9. Trying to upgrade to 3.0.6, with no luck on 2 different Solaris 9 systems. It compiles and installs OK, but clients can't connect. Not only Win2k and XP PC's, but smbclient -L on the same machine

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

Hello I am running a net work with a NT4PDC a NT4 BDC and attent to add samba BDC.

When I used smbpasswd it gives me the following error... root at hayek:~# smbpasswd john New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to find entry for user john.

Just a heads up to anyone upgrading to 3.0.2. In our case we used the new Fedora Core updates (the ones from the Fedora team, not the ones on the samba website) to update a samba PDC from 3.0.0. As stated in the release notes for 3.02a (which I read on the samba website): Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute

Hello, I have no idea how to implement the following scenario apart from running two instances of samba on the same machine... I need a setup where two different Windows users will authen- ticate with two different passwords but get mapped to the same unix user. That is JOE got password PASS1 and maps to unix user joe with uid 1000 and JACK got password PASS2 and maps to unix user joe with

Hey everyone, firstly thanks for your time, I've spent hours, a lot straight days too, for the last couple of weeks trying to solve this issue. The only thing (afai can see) I've got left is asking the experts and formatting all the machines and starting over, the latter of which I'm not interesting in doing because it doesn't solve the issue (well it might make the problem go

Hi, Can anybody confirm the following problem: Sequence: bash-2.05# grep ankerpos /usr/samba.moonrock/private/smbpasswd ankerpos:921:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[U ]:LCT-0 bash-2.05# /usr/samba.moonrock/bin/smbpasswd -c /usr/samba.moonrock/lib/smb.conf ankerpos New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: bash-2.05# grep ankerpos

Hi, I know this issue has already been handled several times, but I couldn?t find any clear description of the procedure. I have Samba 2.2.5 running as a PDC on a RedHat 7.3 box, which I?d like to migrate to 3.0.2a now. Both versions are compiled from source using different prefixes (/usr/local/samba and /usr/local/samba3), so I can still use the old version until I get the new one working.

Hi, I have recently upgraded our web proxy to CentOS 5.6. Before the upgrade, squid was running fine. Since the upgrade, sometimes, squid crashes: > [root at stargate ~]# service squid status > squid dead but pid file exists Looking at log files, I think it could be related to logrotate stuff, > -rw-r----- 1 squid squid 42713088 May 3 04:02 store.log > -rw-r----- 1 squid squid

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username
