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. I'm following this help: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/InterdomainTr usts.html, specifically, using samba as the

Oh Wise Ones, For the past two days, I have contested with the Samba documentation and other sources of lore in a vain attempt to achieve Samba/LDAP integration. My test system is running RedHat 9 with updates applied, along with OpenLDAP & OpenSSL from redhat-rawhide, and the Samba 3.0.1pre1 RPM from the Samba website. A couple of questions: The HOWTOs instruct one to slapadd a file

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:

I am unable to add a machine to samba-3.0.beta3 running as a PDC.

Hello Anytime I try to do anything with the root user (like join the domain) or run 'net user' or 'net group' with root, when I enter the correct password, I get NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL .... I've been trying more commands, and if I run tdbedit -e=tdbsam (to export the smbpasswd to tdbsam style), I get this error : tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [root]

Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Hi! Our Samba file server seems to have a memory leakage. We are using samba as file server out of the box (debian sarge) on kernel 2.6.16.31. After a while users who have some shares and files open are acquiring more and more memory until the smbd dies. Here is a small shortcut from top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 13843 gxxxxx 16 0 51792 44m 2552 S

I have samba-3.0.2 with tdbsam (I don't remember why I moved on to tdbsam from smbpasswd but something in the past must have required it).

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
