Hello All, I am trying to setup Samba PDC with LDAP. I installed samba-2.2.8a and openldap-2.1.19. I am using smbldap-tool that bundles with samba-2.2.8a source, for adding user, group and computer name. I was able to add username in ldap using smbldap-useradd.pl, but i find problem in adding machine name. When i try to add machine name i got following error ./smbldap-useradd.pl -w test$

Hi all! I have a problem with the "hide unreadable = yes" option. In windows xp professional sp2 with explorer, or ssh or smbclient, either directories and files does not hide. I'm using debian 4.0 with XFS file system, ACL, kernel 2.6.18-5-amd64, and samba 3.0.24. Any idea? It is a bug? Thanks! -- Diego _________________________________________________________________

dear list On the samba.org pages there is an overview of Samba GUI's. I've recently (via a post on this mailinglist) discovered http://ldapadmin.sourceforge.net/ It looks very good. Anyone using it here? Experiences? A specific reason why it it not listed on the Samba GUI page? Regards, mj

Guys, We have a Samba 4 PDC with TDB backend. We're now trying to a BDC so we need to migrate from TDB to LDAP . I've read the Samba documentation which says using tdb in both servers will cause issues. So the question is how do we migrate from TDB to LDAP in the PDC. The setup we are going for is each DC will have LDAP setup. The LDAP servers will then be replicated. Reading the official

Hi all, I've been working on shell scripts that allow to manage ldap accounts (users, groups, machines). They are similar to the smbldap-tools but do not need PERL to work (and so on...) and are *very* simple to configure - they may be a good alternative. The only tools you need are standard ldap client commands (ldapadd, ldapdelete, ldapmodify, ldapsearch). The scripts can be used as

Greetings, I have a mostly working Samba Primary Domain Contoller. I have one last problem to work out. When I try to connect as Administrator I get the follwoing message: # smbclient -L localhost -UAdministrator%SOMEPW session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I watch the ldap logs and see that samba is requesting the following filter: filter:

Hi I've setup samba 3.0.14 with the latest idealx scripts on FC3. Now I have a test lab to migrate from NT4 box which different than the standalone PDC I have running. Here's the order I used and my ldap and samba configs are clean as far as I can tell since I do get a partial migration. When using 'net rpc vampire -S nt4 -W DOMAIN' it populates the groups from NT4 and shows the

Hi everybody, I think i need a samba guru to solve this issue, because googling for months did not help and the problem is becoming pressing. I'm facing an annoying problem with samba. In detail, there is something wrong with the password handling. It happens from windows, mac or linux clients. Randomly (probably after $num days), the system asks to the user to change the password. After the

Hello friends I am trying to configure Samba + ldap for my domain, the server is FreeBSD ... When I try to run the following command smbldap-populate It gives me the following error: adding new entry: cn=Backup Operators,ou=Group,dc=vn,dc=pri,dc=jovenclub,dc=cu failed to add entry: Can't contact LDAP server at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-populate line 471, <GEN1> line 20. adding new

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

Hi All, Has any one got an idea of how to make clients automatically find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running by Samba authenticating again a LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. I can see that the replication is of

Hi, I'm trying to setup a Samba with ldap backend, I followed tha samba by example chapter 6, followed the instcution in the book, and when it says to add an idmap data container, LDAP won't allow me to add the idmap something like this : adding new entry "ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id" ldapadd: update failed: ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id ldap_add: Constraint violation (19)

Looking through this chapter today and ran across the following inconsistency under the section NT4 Migration Using LDAP Backend. Step 3 says "3. Create a file called preload.LDIF as shown in Example 8.1. Edit the contents so that the domain name and SID are correct for the site being installed." Then step 4 says "4. Preload the LDAP database so it is ready to receive the

Hi people, Been doing a server installation with Samba as a primary PDC that uses an LDAP backend on CentOS 5. The thing is that I cannot be able to get Samba and LDAP to talk as they should and now Im really stuck. Below are my dumps for /etc/samba/smb.conf, ldap.conf (copied its contents to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf too), and smbldap.conf. Excuse my long post; trying to be as elaborate as

I cannot join my WinXP workstation computers to the Samba domain. Using the Computer Name / Change on the XP computer gives me an error saying that the username or password is incorrect - except very occasionally when it works although I do nothing different! I have noticed that on when it works there is a machine record set up in LDAP with Samba data as follows:- dn:

I didn't use smbldap-populate. I used ldif files to add groups to LDAP with ldapadd. You have rather good questions, NT4 or AD style, I don't know. I am a Unix guy with very few knowledge in Windows stuff and I try to stay away from it as much as I can. I have been asked to setup a new LDAP directory with Samba passwords stored in this LDAP directory. I base my work on an actual LDAP
