Hi people, As usual I've tried a number of different approaches to this problem and can't figure it out. I don't have enough knowledge. Every time I do net rpc vampire I get this crap spewed at me: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/smbldap_tools.pm line 106, <CONFIGFILE> line 233. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at

Greetings! I created a Samba/OpenLDAP/smbldap-tools Primary Domain Controller. So far I am able to do the folowing: 1. Using USRMGR,EXE to administrating users and groups. 2. Adding Windows 2000, XP workstation on the fly. 3. PDBEDIT/SMBLDAP-TOOLS/GQ all works as they suppose to. 4. LDAP autheticate unix accounts. However, I am not able to to the following:

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

When doing a vampire all my PC's are shown in the resulting log as being members of the Domain Users group and none of my "real users" are shown yet in Ldap all my users are shown with memberUid in the domain users group and no computers are shown eg: dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Groups,<snip> objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping gidNumber: 513 cn: Domain Users

I am replacing an old NT4.0 Server with a debian 4.0R1 etch Linux server (samba 3.0.24). This was with a completely fresh install of debian. My smb.conf is pretty simple: [global] workgroup = BUTLER netbios name = STAR3 passdb backend = tdbsam domain master = No domain logons = Yes os level = 33 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' delete

Hello list, i did a quite sucessfull net rpc vampire but one promblem remains. Everything is fine, but the user group memberships aren't restored. Only alle primary group member ships are restored. every user is in the primgrp (4126 Users). All Groups (2659) are restored including sids. but no membership is restored! I don't know why. here's my command: net rpc vampire -l -S nt4pdc

dear list, I'm trying to migrate nt4 to samba3, and have two issues at the moment. First is: I'm getting two (small?) errors using smbldap-populate on my ldap database. At first I tried ignoring this, but now also rpc net vampire complains. (maybe because of this..?) This is the output of smbldap-populate: <quote> server:/usr/local/sbin # smbldap-populate Using builtin directory

I find Linux to be a nightmare if usernames have capital letters. Some old Windows PDCs that we are vampiring have usernames with capital letters. AFAIK you can't change a windows username Is there a way of telling the vampire to make all usernames lowercase as it imports them? Can I use pdbedit or any other tool to make them lowercase? At the moment I am changing /etc/passwd and the

Hi All, It seems like Samba 3 does require the PDC to use LDAP for nss when using ldapsam. I reconfigured Solaris 9 to use nss_ldap and 'getent group' now shows the posixGroups created by the 'net rpc vampire' operation. I then cleaned up the LDAP database and ran vampire again. Each group is created successfully with incrementing gidNumber 10000 onward. 'net groupmap

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results.

Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

I'm trying to migrate accounts from a NT4 PDC to a Samba 3.0.26a server with a ldap backend, using "net rpc vampire". I was able successfully to run the "smbldap-populate" script and verified that users and groups were created by running "pdbedit -Lw" and "net groupmap list". According to the output from "net rpc vampire" all accounts and

Hi, When i restart smbd/nmbd, all the files inside all shares change their names. All the files are affected specially accent portuguese brazilian files. File names become a mess in whole samba server. 1) Has anyone seen this kind of samba server behavior? 2) Im using samba 3.0.4, is there a recognized bug? , if i change to latest version will this issue be solved? Any suggestions are highly

Hello experts, I've migrated our NT4 domain to sambe 3.0.20b/ldap backend with "net rpc vampire", and nearly everything works as expected. But one big problem remains: it's not possible to login to the domains member maschines now, because "the domain is not available at the moment" (translated from german). After the maschine rejoined the samba domain, login
