similar to: LDAP: get samba user sid

List, documenters; I'd like to exchange notes about the official Samba 3 LDAP doco. I'd like to do this off list, since doing it on list would simply confuse and confound users wit perfectly working systems. Background: Me, Samba relative newbie, though I can get *everything* Samba-orientated to work simply by using umpteen years Unix experience. Many years as Openldap admin. With

(Yet Another Samba Question) Using Fedora Core 2, I have edited/created my swat file, restarted the xinetd service, but when I attempt to launch SWAT using local host, I get the following message: The connection was refused trying to contact localhost:901 ANy ideas? Joe

I would like to set special permissions (ACL) when pam autocreates my home dirs in samba. I think i should use a script for that. My question is: how can I make pam run a bash script after it creates the homedir? Thanks Cristian

Hi all got a bit of and odd problem with ACL. Ive read up on a few bits in the samba howto and read some threads on here about it. Im not sure if this is a bug, something ive not done, doing wrong etc so anyone that could shed some light on it that would be great. Basically the windows box handles all user account processing and during creating a script for all this it will attempt to change the

List, Thanks tremendously to JC and JHT for guiding (nay, kicking) me toward getting ACLs to work on RHAS3. Reading the RH sysadmin guide about ACLs and searching elsewhere, as well as thinking for myself, were also a pre. Now for something completely different: High school in Amsterdam Netherlands: - RHAS3 - Samba 3.0.11 RPC, not ADS (no way we're upgrading while the bug reports keep

Hello people, i'm brasilian. I'm sorry for the erros... ok?! :-) Let's go! My company uses openldap-2.1.21. What is the version samba compatible with openldap-2.1.21?! I'm trying install samba-3.0.11, but it requires openldap-2.2.23. I don't want install the release openldap-2.2.23 for it. Thank you.

Hi, I'm following JHT's example doc off the web. I just applied a patch for the confiure.pl script for the smbldap-tools that John gave me. It now makes the sambaUnixIdPooldn object default to: cn=sambaDomainName=DOMAIN whereas the output of the configure.pl script given in Chapter 9 of the book is shown as: sambaDomainName=DOMAIN I now have the first version of the sambaUnixIdPooldn

Hello, I'm new to the list and pretty much a newbie to linux and samba. I'm quick learner though. I have been losing my samba share upon ocasion recently, below is a portion of the syslog from the time period that I think is when the share goes down. A reboot of the server or a restart of the smbd fixes the problem (....until it happens again) I don't know what SIGUP is or why

HEllo, i am running samba 3.0.14a with this smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = redhat workgroup = net2day server string = PDC [on Redhat :: Samba server %v] security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1 interfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = yes local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = yes

Hi there, With the new scrutinization by auditors on account policies and auditing, how can Samba be SOX compliant? Using 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 - ldapsam Specifically, a couple of things seem to be lacking: 1) Logon/Logoff times are not being recorded The last logon time recorded in my ldap entries are pre-nt4 migration. 2) Do the Audit Policy values in user manager have any effect? Are

Hello! Server Starting is ok: no errormessage: /usr/lib/openldap/slapd restart But Testing, not: amd:~ # telnet localhost 389 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused amd:/usr/lib/openldap # ps -agx | grep lapd Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

Dear List, I found some new LDAP attributes in the latest samba.schema, that where definitely not there when setting up our environ- ment. Unfortunately I cant find any description of these attributes, especially sambaSIDList. Does anybody has an definite description of that attribute, how it is used and how it should be administered, as the latest smbldap-tools do not use it... Thanks,

List, both on RHAS3 update3, update 4, Samba source code 3.0.9 thru 11 gives SIGSEGVs on make check. Installing the buggers and trying to run them gives the same. *THOUGH*. The Red Hat beta 3.0.9 srpm at fr2.rpmfind.net comples and runs "like a little sun" ("net als een zonnetje", in Dutch). Anyone compiled Samba 3.0.11 on Red Hat RHAS3/RHEL3? Not "how", just

Johan B, please let it through+ The headers are needed. I live in the Netherlands, where the police contacts for this sort of thing are grey and unknown to me. The Metropolitan Police (London only) in England is 100% on the ball, but they're under resourced and I don't live in their "manor" (London slang for area). I'd like to push it out to as powerful an organization

Can anyone suggest any apps/scripts for bulk generating passwords from real names (e.g. jsmith from John Smith) that would check for duplicated in an existing smbpasswd or passwd file and append a number to the username (e.g. jsmith1, jsmith2).

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

Means "acclaim" in both Norwegian languages (there are new official rules out today for writing both of the 2 Indo-European Norwegian languages). What made me write this acclaim is the number of postings I've seen about Samba's instability - i.e. run-away processes, profiles going wrong, ACL problems and more. My (high school) site with around 80 w2k workstations, of which

Hello all, forgive me if this is old news but it seems to me that smbclient is prone to getting into an infinite loop when mget'ting a stack of files. I have tested (compiled from source with defaults) samba versions 3.0.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14a Versions prior to 3.0.13 are fine, in my environment, versions 3.0.13 and later are causing the problem. The basic data on my system is -a P4 3.2

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

Hi, ive got some problems with my shares(cifs), the server/client (both gentoo) is utf8 ready but i cant get typical german sings like "???" to work, all i get is ? instead of the chars. i can see the chars from my windows xp machine, but why not from the linux client? regards julius
