similar to: Can't fetch domain SID

Somehow my workstations lost their connection to the domain recently. I can rejoin them, but when I leave the domain and rejoin the previous user profiles are lost. Well, the data is still on the system, but all pre-rejoin domain profiles are listed as "account unknown" in the profile manager. I know I can probably use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on the XP machines as long

Hi, I have setup samba 3.0.7 with LDAP and NetApps Filers as our file store. We are going to lots of departmental shares, firstly we want only people from their own dept to have access to their department share, but users from other departments may need access to other dept shares, i would like to set up permissions on each dept share so a group is applied, then every user is added to the

Hi, I tried to let Samba authenticate against LDAP but could not figure out how to build the LDAP tree for Samba. Fedora core 2 Samba 3.0.10 OpenLDAP 2.1.29 I used the migration tool bundled with OpenLDAP and successfully imported passwd, group and hosts from NIS into LDAP. I can authenticate from any of linux client against LDAP server. My LDAP DIT is as follows: dc=mydomain | `---

Hi everybody, I got a problem here with my Samba ADS member server. It functions as a file server and works for a long time. A few weeks ago our Active Directory domain controller failed due to power outage. We fixed it and now an employee reports that he could not use the samba file server any more. I restarted samba service and did the following testing: 1) getent passwd <thisUser>

os: debian etch 4.0 samba: 3.025c i am reading through the how-to (using samba 3rd ed), freely available btw at http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/sysadmin/samba/sambao3rd/ i am interested in setting up a samba pdc for a good dozen windows xp pro clients.

Hi, I am using Samba 3.0.10 PDC with LDAP as password DB. Before we use smbpasswd as passwd DB and every time I need to add a machine account into /etc/passwd so that the mahcine can join the domain. My understanding for LDAP is, this step is not needed any more since we will put all machine account into "ou=Computers". But I am proved to be wrong. Is this the way Samba works? I

I have a file server with windows and I am creating a new Fedora Core 3 + Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 file server... But i have many, many files that have chars like ?, ?, ? in their name... When I move the files to the Samba server, all that unicode chars are changed to ? I need a solution for that to move on, because my boss will not like to stop using that chars... Thanks for any help Cristian

Hi, This may be a silly question. I've got OpenLDAP 2.1.29 up and running on FC2, I imported passwd, group and hosts from NIS to LDAP server and we can authenticate with LDAP instead of NIS. We also have a Samba PDC running on another Linux box (FC2), it use smbpasswd as passwd db. So I am going to replace it with LDAP passwd db. I tried to configure Samba to use LDAP. but it didn't

"My Documents" folder doesn't sync with the server unless users log off from the machine and log back in. Is there a way to sync the "My Documents" folder during the session? Thank you. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term'

Hi All, I'm running netbench against our samba based filer and having I believe a controller problem. When I configure the test to run multiple engines per client (about 5 in my case) and about 20 clients so all together I have 100 engines, the controller crashes. My clients are a mix of NT4, winxp and win2000 systems. If I run the controller on windows 2003, the controller simply

Greetings, I have a mostly working Samba Primary Domain Contoller. I have one last problem to work out. When I try to connect as Administrator I get the follwoing message: # smbclient -L localhost -UAdministrator%SOMEPW session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I watch the ldap logs and see that samba is requesting the following filter: filter:

Hi everybody! I've been noticing some strange entries in samba/utmp. I have a lot of 00:00 timed sessions. But the worst problem is that i found some conflicting information. Since windows doesn't allow concurrent login sessions, I think utmp should not have generated the following entries. liana smb/2 192.168.0.207 Fri Sep 2 18:43 - 00:52 (06:08) rodrigobaso

Hello I have a client who historical had a machinename with an underscore in it : samba_machine I had to get rid of the underscore names and changed the name to samba-machine. At the same time I upgraded to samba-3.0.11 to get a printer queue problem resolved. Now it seems the Domain SID has changed, so I changed the new SID back to the old one with net setlocalsid, because on all machines I had

Yes, I get more than 30MB/s performance. The benchmark I use (NetBench) is essentially CPU bound, such that a faster processor = faster performance. With a very fast hardware config (dual 3.2GHz processors), I've been able to hit around 100MB/s. Changing the RAM or other attributes does not buy me much, it seems that processor power is the bottleneck (at least in my case). When doing your

I'm running into an odd problem with my installation of samba, version 3.0.13. Samba is configured to use the tdbsam backend and is running as a PDC. The issue is that samba can't seem to report its SID correctly: # net getlocalsid [2005/07/08 12:27:30, 0] utils/net.c:net_getlocalsid(494) Can't fetch domain SID for name: DOMSERVR but, running an alternate command: # net rpc info

`net getlocalsid` prints "Can't fetch domain SID for name: MYMACHINE" How could I solve? Is there a more parsable way for getting current machine domain SID and current machine NETBIOS name? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a domain with Samba 3 acting as PDC, and using LDAP (passdb backend = ldapsam). I now wanted to add a second Samba 3 machine as a simple file server. I get errors with getdomainsid and getlocalsid, so there is obviously still something wrong with my config. The PDC runs Samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. Sid queries return: # net getdomainsid SID for local machine MY_PDC_HOST is:

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
