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, 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

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

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server. My question is how to find out on the Solaris8 server which Linux servers are using Samba to mount from. Because it is hideous to go to every Linux server and see which Solaris8 server they are

Hello: I have set up a PDC using Samba 3.0.11 with openldap 2.2.23. I have set up a BDC as well (the smb.conf is same as those on PDC except the nebios name as "BDC" and the domain master is set as "no"). Then I try to shut down my PDC to check whether the client login through the BDC. I found that my client (on Window NT) are able to authenticated by BDC, but it keeps

Greetings! I tried to post this question to openldap group but somehow my post never showed up there. Anyway, I built PDC using Samba3 and OPENLDAP and now like to integrade NIS service to it. I searched the net there are quite a few guides on how to replace NIS with LDAP. However, in our environment, we have almost all sorts of Unix platforms, e.g. Linux (mainly Redhat), Solaris, HPUX, AIX,

I have tried everything that I know of. I have reviewed the services file and the swat file in xinetd.d a tun of times. It appears, via netstat that swat is listening on port 901. However when I attempt to access it via the Mozilla browser on my Fedora server (with 127.0.0.1:901 or localhost:901) nothing happens. It just sits there. However, if I access it via webmin (which has swat stored

G'day, I've just updated a server from samba 3.04 to samba 3.10. Somewhere in between the functionality of smbpasswd appears to have changed. When run as root user from: smbpasswd [options] username password to: smbpasswd [options] username Is there a simple replacement to the original non interaction functionality? There probably is, but I've not been able to find it. If not

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to the ldap server's root dn? What's the big deal? Why is this such a secret? Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter what list I am on either. Jim C. --
