I've been fiddling lately with Samba 3 coupled with openldap, nss_ldap, pam_ldap and the smbldap-tools to create a PDC. Following various examples, most things work, but I have an issue with changing passwords from Windows. If I manually change a password with smbldap-passwd, the script correctly adjusts the sambaPwdMustChange attribute according to what defaultMaxPasswordAge is set to. If

Hey everyone, I've got a Samba server running with an LDAP backend, and for the most part it works great. The only issue I'm having is that when I attempt to use USERMGR.exe on the windows side I get this (typical Microsoft) error: "A device attached to the system is not functioning" I'm running Samba 3.4.5, and OpenLDAP 2.4.21 on FreeBSD 8.0 Here's the relevant

Hi all, I have tried to write management tools for samba, but it seems there's no standard way provided by Samba to change its configuration or modify users account other than direct modify the config file and or database backend. This make many tools less portable because it depends on the backend of samba. There might be a windows rpc call (use by usrmgr.exe and svrmgr.exe), is it the

I loaded the NT4 Domain Manager tools and tried to use UserMgr to add some users. The add users sections of the menu are grayed out and I cannot do the deed. I've tried a variety of things. The machine was a member of the domain, I was logged in a administrator, which seemed to map as root in Samba, but still all I could do is look, not touch. Any ideas what I did wrong this time?

I am trying to implement my Samba 3.3.3 running on FreeBSD 7.1 as a PDC.

I have spent the last few days attempting to get a Samba3 PDC/BDC setup with an LDAP SAM and need some clarification on exactly what should/can be initialized in the LDAP SAM. As my main sources of information/inspiration I have been using http://http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_file_server_using_LDAP and the smbldap-tools source code, but have also

Greetings, I am trying to join a EMC Celerra NS502 CIFS server to our Samba 3.0.21a domain controller. According to EMC, I was told that we need to manually create the machine account first. How is the best way to do this? We are using an openLDAP backend, using the idealx scripts. Joining a windows machine from the computer properties dialog of that machine works perfectly.

I patched samba to always return ACCESS_GRANTED for testing. So I came to this: IASSAM.LOG [556] 23:23:53:671: Inserting attribute msNPAllowDialin. [556] 23:23:53:671: Successfully retrieved per-user attributes. Dialin now "only" fails with "Dialin not allowed for user", but I'm not able to set it in UserMgr. Is it difficult to map this attribute? Daniel

I've had a problem since I had installed samba with ldap support. It's impossible deleting and managing [ex.: add user to a group] the user; only with smbldap-tools. When I try to manage new user with usermgr.exe, who's added the log tell me: ldapsam_update_sam_account: failed to modify user with uid = foo, error: sambaMungedDial: value #0 invalid per syntax (Success) Trying

Is password aging/expiration a functional feature in Samba 3? I have compiled and installed the alpha 12 release and while I can set password aging in the account policies via NT's account manager, Samba 3 does not seem to be honoring it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello: I am operating a Samba server as the only domain controller in a network consisting of 8 Windows 2000 clients and two Windows 98 clients. The server is running as a virtual machine in Xen and connects to the network over a bridged interface (I mention this because it may be relevant to the problem). 1. If the Samba server is configured thusly: [global] domain master = yes local master =

I'm creating roaming profiles for the Win98 boxes in our network.

Hi all, My Samba server with winbind in an NT4 domain ran fine for a year, now this message is all we get from the windows side. Can it be because it is not listed in the WINS? Whe I look at it from Svrmgr in NT then it says access denied. The same happens using net view Why does it not register with the WINS server? If I configure Samba as a wins server - will it run together with an NT WINS

I've got Samba set up as a domain controller successfully, and am now wanting to user usrmgr.exe and svrmgr.exe to make basic user admin changes from a Windows workstation.
