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

Is the RedHat RPM spec file included with the samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz source files compatible with RedHat EL 3? In other words, are the locations for the various support directories (/var/lib/samba, /var/cache/samba, etc.) the same between the RedHat EL 3 version of samba (currently stuck at 3.0.9, I think) and the official samba.org <http://samba.org> versions? I would like to upgrade my

Hi people, i was experimenting with the pdbedit and i found the "user must change password at next logon". The thing i wan't able to make it work.

Hello I have Samba that joined Windows 2003 based ADS. At least "net ads testjoin" and "net rpc testjoin" gives that "Join is OK". Alas clients can't connect to Samba server. In a log I see following messages : [2005/04/08 14:51:41, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:(725) tdb(/web/opt/etc/smbprivate//secrets.tdb): tdb_lock failed on list 2 ltype=2 (Resource temporarily

Hi all, after searching the archives of this list and extensive general googling, I still haven't worked this problem out so I thought it was time to join the list. I'm trying to make my samba server create home directories on-the-fly when new users login. As I understand it, the way to do this is to use the mkhomedir module and enable "obey pam restrictions" in smb.conf.

Hi, I running samba-3.0.13-1 connect to W2k3, attr-2.4.19 and acl-2.2.27-1. I've a strange problem with ACL settings, following the data structure.I would that user1 could read/write only his personal folder, user1 belongs to domain users and can reach the user folder but he can't see his personal folder. I have tried to run setfacl -b (remove all ACL entries) and setup them again, format

Hi, I have samba-3.0.13 on linux machine compiled with these parameters: --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.0.13 --enable-cups --with-ldap --with-ldapsam --with-acl-support --with-quotas In smb.conf I defined share : [POBOX] comment = ! path = /data/disk1/pobox guest ok = no writable = yes directory mask = 0777 force directory mode = 0000 directory security mask =

When I set up my initial users for the Samba domain i did not realize that RIDs were supposed to be dynamic. I was creating the user as a posixAccount in LDAP, and then adding the Samba elements via a script that I wrote. Their RIDs are the same as their UID. For instance if I have a user with uidNumber 1036, her SID would be <domain-SID>-1036. This is fine except for idmapping for

I saw Active Directory a bit today and was impressed with the ease one can manage many Windows workstations with that. Especially I liked the software installation (too bad it can install MSI packages only) and the ability to run custom scripts on the workstations (when the boot up etc.). Is it possible to run a custom script for a given machine when it boots up (that is already joined to

Hi all, I've managed to install an ubuntu server as PDC, everything is working fine. However, i've got a few questions regarding profile ( M$ XP ) and unix accounts. 1. Roaming profile : I believed that when logging off a computer, user's profile was moved back to the server. But i can still find one. Is there anything to do for the profile not to be stored on pc ? 2. An account

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

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

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, how can I change the user-passwords correctly in my OpenLDAP during Windows-password-change? My problem: The script does only change "userPassword", but not the field "shadowLastChange", so my unix-passwords expired. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /etc/samba/scripts/ldap_userPassword_change %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *Success*

Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle.
