similar to: Samba 2.2 to 3.0.9 DC upgrade problems

Hi guys, I am a newbie so please bear with me here. The question is not really related to Samba but to Red Hat. I want to install some EMail Server program on my RH 9 so that I could use my Red Hat PC as email server. Do you guys know of any program that I can use? By the way I installed RH9 with all options, so I guess I would have something inside my PC that would serve this prrpose that I

Hi, Could someone please point me towards good documentation for setting up samba3 as a DC and using ldap for authentication. The part I'm having trouble with is setting up ldap in the right way, and the ldap docs are a bit confusing. I'm also looking for good docs on upgrading a DC from samba2.x to samba3, while upgrading the whole OS (SuSE 8.0 to SUSE 9.2). I have extracted the

Hi guys, I setup a Samba box to act as a backup server (storage), for the windows servers to dump their backups on. The MS SQL 2000 server won't see the samba box. Windows it self does, but SQL not. Even if I map a network path to a local drive, it still doesn't see it, so I cannot point the backups that way. Is there any special trick to getting this to work? Thanks Hans

Hi list, I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP server to provide the goodies for samba and postfix running on the same box - SUSE 9.2 Pro The trouble start fairly early, unfortunately. I'm following the idealx.org documentation, which suggest using samba.schema as well as inetorgperson.schema and nis.schema. (John Terpstra's book suggest this as well). There seems to be a conflict

Hello to the list, We have installed samba 3.0.12 on a solaris sparc server , mainly acting as a backup-server. Now the problem: Some user want to save whole disk-images on their shares which exceed the 2 GB limit. Now my question: Do i need to compile with option "-m64" , or is the underlaying FS responseable for a successful action Kind regards martin schreiber

Hi guys, I have samba domain controller running at a client. It's a fairly simple and straightforward setup, uses smbpasswd for auth, nothing fancy. The client wants to be able to vpn in and access their files. I setup pptp, and use the built in WindowsXP client. After establishing the vpn connection, I can access the domain controller. I get asked for my username and pass - type in

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi all, I just want to double check. include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf Does this the same as the ordinary /etc/dhcpd.conf or is it a different file? What should be the content be? Searching google for "/etc/SAMBA/dhcp.conf" only brings up multiple entries of the smb.conf line. Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

Hi all, I setup a DC for a company who until now have been using standalone WindowsXP Pro desktops in a "workgroup." Initially I just added the users, standard setup. They all belong to the group "users." Then they asked for a limited group to have access to the financial folders. So I added a group "financial" and limited access to users in the financial group.

Hi all, I'm using SAMBA with LDAP as my PDC but after I join a workstations Windows XP to the domain, I can't authenticate any user with this workstation, It gives the fallowing error when I press ctrl+alt+del and try to logon: "The system can't authenticate the user.

Hi, I'm a tad confused about something. I've got a production instance of Samba running. I am trying to get a test version running on the same box, with the same SID. Without the test server running, I used "net setlocalSID <oldsid>" (the net binary is the one for the new server). Then when I issued 'net getlocalsid' it returned it. I thought I was fine.

Hi, my problem is the following: i am trying to replace an old SUSE 8.2, Samba 2.2 domain controller with a SUSE 9.3 system with samba 3.0 as PDC. Everything works fine, i can join the new domain, i replaced the machine and domain sid from the new server with the old ones. But how can reuse the profiles from the old machine at the new one? If i make a simple remote copy, the settings of the

Hiya So im trying to get my PDC working. Started off small and then exported my smbpasswd to tdbsam with pdbedit. The next thing I saw was all the Linux system account (irc, game, mail, etc) listed via pdbedit and srvtool's I think I have done something wrong. I would like to start from scratch and clear restart the tdb's My question is, can I just delete the tdb files. If not,

Hi, I'd like to migrate Samba 3.0.24-6etch10 PDC running on a Debian server to a new Ubuntu server. I plan to install Samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 on the new server and then copy the files in /etc/samba and /var/lib/samba and copy the related Linux users in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Will it work?

Hi, and thanks in advance for your support (sorry my english) Is there any documentation for migrating Samba 2.2 with LDAP and PDC suport to Samba3 with PDC and LDAPSAM? I try to explain the situation: Only one server running Mandrake 9.2 + Samba 2.2.8a with ldap support (from precompiled contrib); and I wish to migrate to Samba3+LDAPSAM. My real problem is that I must use ldap because I also use
