I am having problems adding a user. Here is some background: OK this is my first attempt to build a Samba server so be gentle. Operating System: Fedora Core 3 Samba version: 3.0.10-1.fc3 I have set up a Stand-alone server to support my 4 client machines (all WinXP boxes w/o a domain). I had some difficulties getting things to work and eventually traced them down to a Firestarter

Hi, I recently installed Samba 3.0.11 on Suse 9.2 and have managed to get a simple domain working (people can logon, share printers etc), however, I'm having trouble setting up trusts between the new samba domain and the old NT domain.

Hi! I am seeing other users with the same problem as I have. My samba also fails to add machine accounts. It seems to me if it didn't even try. If I use some other script (pdbedit, smbldap-tools) than smbpasswd it manages to add the account but still fails to authenticate within the same session. If I try again the machine account exists and authentication goes ok. server:~# smbpasswd -a -m

OK. I've given up on using the 'net vampire' feature to suck our NT4 info. Now I want to start afresh. I've set the smb.conf file up, and run the script I found in the HTML docs to map common Windows Domain groups to unix groups. This worked OK. Now I want to create a root account so I can actually join the domain from a Windows 2000 client. When I run:

Hello, I recently switched an environment from Samba 2.x to 3.0 without any major problems. LDAP database was converted and everything worked fine, _including_ chaning passwords with smbpasswd. However, I now had to create a new account, which failed. I created an LDAP entry first, because I use LDAP for Unix-Authentification as well. Afterwards, I wanted to add the Samba-specific attributes

Hi, I've been Googling around trying to found why I can't make SAMBA (concretely smbpasswd and pdbedit) make good use of the information held in the file /etc/samba/smbusers. I have done a clean install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.1 Update 3 (both x86_64 and IA32) and Fedora Core 5. In all cases, running the following command fails: # smbpasswd -a Administrator New SMB password:

Yay, I finally got my samba 3 PDC working! Following a variety of indirect hints I used the root account to join, rather than trying to mess around with various groups and group mappings. I had done this before, with no good effect, but checked more carefully this time and found that it was my machine account that was not being found, not the root account. Further investigation shows that when

Hello all, I'm having an issue with adding machine accounts to a Samba 3.0.0 PDC with an LDAP passwd db backend. This is on a RedHat 9 with an rpm I compiled from the 3.0.0 release. I have configured samba to where it is using LDAP and able to add user accounts and group mappings to LDAP, but when I try to add a computer account using smbpasswd -a -m data it is not able to add the account.
