I as sending this again in the hopes that someone will respond. Surely I am not the only one with this setup.

Hi, I've just moved a second Samba domain to LDAP -- it works great! However, the first domain is now dead in the water. It refuses to autenticate, and from the logs it looks like it's not find the SambaDomainName entry in the LDAP tree. Here is a diagram of how my LDAP tree is set up. dc=mycompany,dc=com |___ ou=computers |___ ou=people |___ ou=groups |___ sambaDomain=domain1 |___

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hi all, i have ACLs working fine on my PDC, but they do not work on a member server. Here is a summary of my set-up: I am using LDAP backend, with nss_ldap on all of my member servers. Samba 3.0.12pre1 on the PDC and Samba 3.0.14a on the member server. I have winbindd running on my member server, and it is pointing at LDAP as its backend. ?wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g both work. I am using

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Hi all, I've got one printer on our network where the drivers have to be installed locally. This has been a pain in the butt so far, and today is no different. I've got 10 users using this printer on Windows 2000. They are all administrators on their local machines. I installed the printer on each of their systems by browsing to \\server\, opening the Printers folder,

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

Hi all, I'm writing a script, and one thing it does is the following: ssh someuser@somehost /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -a -P some.samba.user If I left off the -P all works fine. With the -P it does not prompt me for the password on my screen, but it seems to have done it on the host I am ssh'ing to. I straced the command on that host and I am stuck at a read() call. However,

Hi all, I have two different domains. At one point I had them trusting eaach other but then I ruined it. Now I am trying to get them back. They both have LDAP backend. I need them bot to trust each other and be trusted by each other. Here are the steps I am following: 1. On each domain, create a computer account called the other domain: CORP: smbldap-useradd -ai FURN$ CORP:

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

Hi all, I would like two Samba servers to be able to talk to each other via NetBIOS. The problem is that they are on two different subnets. I have enabled broadcast ping on the routers, and the servers can each ping the other subnet with no trouble. The two relevant IPs are 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.2.3. There is a T1 between two Cisco routers, and IP routing is all set up. Currently

Hi all, I have been working on this for days to no avail. I am unable to join any machine to my domain. I think the server's machine password got corrupted but don't know how to change it. From the PDC, I try: oink:/usr/local/src/samba-3.0.12/source # net join PDC Password: Could not connect to server CORPSRV The username or password was not correct. From a member server, I try:

I'm running Samba 3.0 on Debain stable (compiled myself) with LDAP as the backend authentication. I've gotten everything working except home drive mapping (which I've gotten to work with limited success). I turned on log level 5 on my samba server, and I found that if I don't enable that path variable in the [homes] section that the server is trying to use /dev/null as the

I have a Samba3+LDAP PDC running. I set it up long time ago following de IDEALX howto and using smbldap-tools. The domain is called PRINCIPAL and the PDC netbios name is SMBSERV. In my LDAP tree, users have (among others) attributes like these: dn: uid=bachillerato01,ou=Users,dc=guaydil,dc=prv cn: Usuario prueba para bachillerato ... sambaProfilePath: \\SMBSERV\profiles\bachillerato01
