similar to: New version of the ldapscripts

Hello all, And now a small advert ;-) I'm pleased to announce the v 1.4 of the ldapscripts. The ldapscripts are shell scripts provided under the terms of the GPL license. They allow to manage POSIX accounts (users, groups, machines) in an LDAP directory. They can be used on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD (and any other Unix-like ?). They are similar to the smbldap-tools but are written in sh, not

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

Hi all, As Samba users, we often interact with Windows environments. I've developped a PERL script that may be useful to you : it is an .evt (Windows event "log" files) viewer. It is inspired from fccu-evtreader (www.d-fence.be) and displays the contents of an event file. It is available on my website (http://contribs.martymac.com/evtViewer/evtViewer-0.2.tgz) and released under the

Hi all ! This is a patch for Group mapping bug #1 reported here : http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/034057.html It activates users' primary group SID update when adding/modifying/deleting a group mapping. It patches utils/net_groupmap.c (net_groupmap_add, net_groupmap_modify, net_groupmap_delete) and can be applied to samba-3.0.2rc1. net_groupmap_add : Scan users

Mateus, here is a more complex (working !) example : vfs objects = recycle recycle:name = .recycle ; max-size (in bytes) of files allowed in the recycle bin recycle:maxsize = 2000000 ; keep directory trees ? recycle_keeptree = True ; files to exclude from the bin recycle:exclude = *.tmp *.temp *.swp ; root dirs to exclude from the bin recycle:exclude_dir = tmp ; include file versionning in the

Hi :) As I'd say in French "de rien !" (you're welcome :)) Yes, you can use PAM to redirect the system authentication calls to your LDAP directory, but in reality samba will continue to use two types of accounts : the "posixAccount"s (same as /etc/passwd) and the "sambaSamAccount"s. Everything will be stored in you LDAP directory, but Samba still needs two

Hi all ! I've been using group mapping for a few weeks and found some bugs... For three of them, I tried to develop a small patch. I don't know Samba code very well and this is my first patch, so there could be errors :-p I hope my investigations will be useful :) * Platform : Here is what I used : Debian 3.0r1, Samba 3.0.2rc1 - PDC, OpenLDAP 2.1.23 as backend smb.conf extract :

Hello, I am trying to set up file-dictionary based quotas while supporting the SETQUOTA IMAP command. I am using the following configuration : ---- plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_set = dict:file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota } ---- which enables correct quota accounting + setting through SETQUOTA. A user's dovecot-quota file ends with the following

Hi ! Did you try modifying socket options in smb.conf (generally : socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192) ?

Hi all, Thank you for your help, and sorry for my late answer. Everything works fine by now ! Yes, you have to become a BDC to vampire the accounts ! This is why I was getting an "Access denied" error : I thought my Samba was a BDC, but I forgot to add "domain logon = Yes" in my smb.conf, so Samba was a simple share server. Here is the steps I followed to suck the accounts :

Hi all, I'm trying to mygrate my NT4 PDC to a Samba v3rc2 PDC. Everything worked well during accounts migration (vampire). I'm now trying to back-up the shares (homes, profiles, netlogon), in order to fully migrate the accounts. Unfortunately, I'm facing a stupid problem : each home directory (or profile directory) can only be read from its creator, NOT from the Administrator of the

Hi ! I'm trying to migrate accounts from my NT4 server, I followed each step described in the HOWTO : - tunred off samba - set domain master at "No" in config file - created groups + mappings as it is advised to - created the BDC account in the NT4 server manager - net rpc join'ed the domain but when I try to vampire user/group accounts, here is what I get : # net rpc vampire

Hi There, i'm keep having problems with samba and smbldap-tools for adding machine accounts on the fly. So I'm somewhat sick of smbldap-tools and i wanted to know if someone is aware of an alternative to it. I haven't found one yet. Anyone? (except writing it myself what would be the very last alternative :) Thanks in advance Greets Patrick

Hello all, I am attempting to setup a Samba 3.0.2a based PDC using OpenLDAP 2.2.6 for my user/group authentication backend. So far everything seems to be working properly, I can join the domain from a Win2k PC, login via an account created with smbldap-useradd.pl, map my home directory, run the proper login script, etc. However, with all of that working I'm still having difficulties getting

Hi all, I'm testing group mapping, wondering how It works exactly... I thought Samba was storing a mapping table allowing to retreive infos on Unix/Windows groups in a DYNAMIC way.

Hello, Concerning the upcoming 2.2.3 release of Samba with LDAP support. Question 1: Is it possible that you define multiple ldap servers in the option "ldap server ="? In the event that one LDAP server is down, the next LDAP server defined can take over. If not, no authentication is possible if the LDAP server is not available? Question 2: Is there any fallback possible to a
