Hello people, i'm brasilian. I'm sorry for the erros... ok?! :-) Let's go! My company uses openldap-2.1.21. What is the version samba compatible with openldap-2.1.21?! I'm trying install samba-3.0.11, but it requires openldap-2.2.23. I don't want install the release openldap-2.2.23 for it. Thank you.

People, I came to Samba 3 or 4 weeks ago and now have a successful ldapsam 3.0.11 PDC installation for 1150+ users (around 80 Win 2000 and XP workstations) running together with a DHCP server as an "afterthought" service on a RHAS3 NAS server. I adopted/adapted my already existent Openldap (2.2.17) DSE at that site) and wrote to this list about my experiences. For example I

Hi, I'm trying to setup IMC (idealx management console) to give our windows admins some nice toy to play with, but I have problem to make it work. I can log in after I authentificate as Administrator, but, I can't modify any LDAP entries, as that fails with unsufficient privileges due to the IMC trying to bind to LDAP as logged in user (Administrator), instead of something like

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, short question: I try to add a local group via the NT-Usermanager ("usrmgr.exe"), but everytime I get a "Access denied". Adding a global group works. I'm logged on as "Administrator". I'm running Samba 3.0.14a on Debian Sarge (testing) with the smbldap-tools (v0.8.8). What could I have done wrong?

Hello, I've a Debian 3.1 box with Samba 3.0.9 acting as a PDC with OpenLDAP 2.1.30, smbldap-tools 0.8.5, libnss-ldap version 220-1. The problem is this: Yesterday suddenly a user from a workstation already joined to the domain could not log on any more. The log message was: Workstation HPDX02$: no account in domain Digging into LDAP I've found that the entry in the LDAP DB exists (I

Dear Team, The OpenLDAP stuff on this page: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html is not the preferred backend, i.e. ldbm, it really, really needs to be bdb. See: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=bdb%20ldbm&file=1085 "ldbm uses a neutral storage interface which in principle could wrap dbm, ndbm, gdbm or sleepycat as underlying storage;

Hi all, I have setup samba / openldap as describes by the idealx howto and as such I am using the smbldap-tools. However, I would like to add the givenname and email address fields for all users. What is the best way to do this? I would prefer continuing to use the smbldap-tools, but I cannot seem to find a good way to do this. When I try to: $ smbldap-usermod -M testuser@testdomain.net

Is it possible to configure Samba so that when a new Windows machine joins the Samba domain it will have a UID in a certain range? I'd like the machine accounts to have a different range than user accounts. Thanks, Charles

Well I finally managed to get my machines added to my ldap/samba domain. The problem was that I had defined an ou each for Computers and Users. ie dc=base,dc=org | ------ ou = Users | ------ ou = Computers Now the problem was that the nss_ldap library was searching in Users only, and apparently the samba server needs to be able to resolve the Computers tree aswell to add the

I am very new to samba and have installed samba 2.2.8 on a sco unix open server 5.07 system with wins. My current windows network has about 50 users split into department workgroups. How can I get them all to see the samba server? When I look at the network neighbourhood it only shows up in one workgroup. I have put two workgroups in the global area but it only shows the second one

Is the RedHat RPM spec file included with the samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz source files compatible with RedHat EL 3? In other words, are the locations for the various support directories (/var/lib/samba, /var/cache/samba, etc.) the same between the RedHat EL 3 version of samba (currently stuck at 3.0.9, I think) and the official samba.org <http://samba.org> versions? I would like to upgrade my

(Yet Another Samba Question) Using Fedora Core 2, I have edited/created my swat file, restarted the xinetd service, but when I attempt to launch SWAT using local host, I get the following message: The connection was refused trying to contact localhost:901 ANy ideas? Joe

Hi, I have some machines (winXP and win2k) that cannot join my domain. Others I have joined to the domain. I am using the smbldap-tools 0.8.9 with an add machine script as follows: add machine script = /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" The LDAP entity gets created with objectClasses top, inetOrgPerson, and posixAccount. My impression is that samba then comes

I would like to set special permissions (ACL) when pam autocreates my home dirs in samba. I think i should use a script for that. My question is: how can I make pam run a bash script after it creates the homedir? Thanks Cristian

Hi all got a bit of and odd problem with ACL. Ive read up on a few bits in the samba howto and read some threads on here about it. Im not sure if this is a bug, something ive not done, doing wrong etc so anyone that could shed some light on it that would be great. Basically the windows box handles all user account processing and during creating a script for all this it will attempt to change the

List, Thanks tremendously to JC and JHT for guiding (nay, kicking) me toward getting ACLs to work on RHAS3. Reading the RH sysadmin guide about ACLs and searching elsewhere, as well as thinking for myself, were also a pre. Now for something completely different: High school in Amsterdam Netherlands: - RHAS3 - Samba 3.0.11 RPC, not ADS (no way we're upgrading while the bug reports keep

Hi all, I use the samba widh ldap and smbldap-tools to update the ldap db. If I execute from the terminal a non huge number of operation using the smbldap-usermode for change the mail, sometimes the operation still not respond and lock. After I find the db corrupted and I must do a db_recover. Why? Regards Michael

I am installing Samba 3.0.14a on Whitebox Linux 3.0 with Openldap 2.2.24. Openldap is working well and we can query the entries that we have in our addressbook. I have installed Samba from source. The configure, make and make install appear to go okay. When I try to start Samba with /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D I ge the following error /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared

List, both on RHAS3 update3, update 4, Samba source code 3.0.9 thru 11 gives SIGSEGVs on make check. Installing the buggers and trying to run them gives the same. *THOUGH*. The Red Hat beta 3.0.9 srpm at fr2.rpmfind.net comples and runs "like a little sun" ("net als een zonnetje", in Dutch). Anyone compiled Samba 3.0.11 on Red Hat RHAS3/RHEL3? Not "how", just

Johan B, please let it through+ The headers are needed. I live in the Netherlands, where the police contacts for this sort of thing are grey and unknown to me. The Metropolitan Police (London only) in England is 100% on the ball, but they're under resourced and I don't live in their "manor" (London slang for area). I'd like to push it out to as powerful an organization
