Having issues with not being able to bind with my openldap server... Do I need to install openldap client tools and get the box set up to use it first? -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North Chester Ave Bakersfield, CA 93308 661.392.2110 ext 120 (office) http://district.standard.k12.ca.us District Users: Click here to

Any suggestions as to folks who have written fairly concise how-tos'? Much of what I've found so far is pretty vague. Also if moving to AD DC model, strategies for syncing with OpenLDAP... (Not to stir up old wounds, but the idea of multiple credential sources makes me very ill) Thanks, -Jeff -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School

So, I have a test domain set up with rfc2307 = yes . Now I'm trying to figure out if a) my nfs automount data came over from OpenLDAP, and b) if not, how to get it into samba 4's ldap, or something else??? Do I need to rethink my approach? Mount locations are pretty consistent based on primary group/userid Needs to work on Linux. Existing entries look like this... # /u,

Ok, I've tried all the "common" fixes, such as turning oplocks off on the share. Twice a day the database has to be repaired. running samba-3.0.7-2.FC2 Here's the pertinent section: comment = Aeries path = /home/aeries valid users = @aeries read only = No create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes

Before I start beating my head against the wall, is there a howto someplace for joining a Samba4 member or BDC to a samba3 domain? Am I going about this all wrong? I most likely will update the PDC to samba 4 next summer due to the amount of automation we have to modify that leverages OpenLDAP. The LDAP server that comes with Samba4 seems kinda limited by comparison. In the meantime, cannot

Hi list. I've just configured a PDC server using RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (update 5) and Samba 3.0.25a. Everithing is working fine. I'm not using LDAP and all my client machines are installed with Windows XP Professional. I used the Mike Petersen website ( http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html) to help me creating the NTConfig.pol file and created custom profiles

I'm curious how others manage their windows 7 machines on a samba 3.x.x domain .. especial the part of policies and scripts. i got the win7 running in the samba domain, but i'm stuck in the policies part.. and i don't want to use nitrobit for this. how do other users do this.. ?! thx, Collen

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

This isn't technically a samba question, but I figure there will be other samba users out there in the same boat. I have just setup the first Vista box on our samba domain and I am having some trouble with policies (they don't get applied). I have had a look around and there is alot of talk about the adm->admx change, etc but I haven't seen anyone say that anything needs 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

Hi, I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel here if I can. I'm looking for a script or set of scripts that allow me to create a bunch of samba 3.X/posix users and their corresponding LDAP entries from a delimited text file or something similar. If it's web-based, so much the better, esp if some of the functions can be delegated (with reduced permissions) for specified groups

Hi, I need to mass-update my users in openldap so that their passwords don't expire (school teachers). Anyone have any ideas about what the best process would be for accomplishing this? Thanks... -Jeff -- Jefferson K. Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North Chester Ave Bakersfield, CA 93308 USA 661-392-2110 ext 120

Been tearing my hair out trying to find out if redirecting my user's automounted home folder is killing offline files availability. We are just now migrating our windows users to win7 (school, limited funding), and while I've got folder redirection working, I also need to make sure offline files work as well for my mobile users. What smb.conf settings are required that will fix this

I keep seeing different approaches/recommendations as to which DNS services to utilize for an AD controller... what are your recommendations, and why?

The init scripts do not seem to have the chkconfig parameters... I need to start samba before autofs or it cannot provide the mounts from LDAP... Not currently an upstart job, so cannot make autofs wait for samba. Or maybe more to the point I don't know how ;) Thanks, -Jeff -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North

openssl "blesses" my cert chain, but samba has an issue with it. TLS failed to initialise certfile /var/lib/samba/private/tls/standard.k12.ca.us.crt and keyfile /var/lib/samba/private/tls/standard.k12.ca.us.key - ASN1 parser: Error in DER parsing. openssl verify -CAfile gd_bundle.crt standard.k12.ca.us.crt standard.k12.ca.us.crt: OK Anyone know where I went wrong? incorrect cert

Most of what I've found involves installing from source, which I'm not opposed to for a pilot install but for production I would rather use the distro packages or sernet. Or is this nuts/shortighted/ignorant? At any rate, I'm looking for a good guide for getting it set up as an AD controller, and then migrating my existing samba3+openLDAP+autofs setup to the new platform. Having

So, I managed to get an ad controller running, but cannot seem to get it to forward dns queries to my DNS server. It resolves it's own SRV records just fine. upstream bind is 9.2 AD controller is the same DNS domain as the rest of my network (could this be the issue?) using SAMBA_INTERNAL on the AD controller. It's like I can either resolve my AD controllers SRV records or the

I think you are talking about making it act like WSUS or RIS role. This is not possible (but would be cool).

Hi colleagues I am trying to implement security for my network with samba, I am using poledit, but it has very few choices, I am using nitrobit group policy, but this needs a serial, and I do not have it. Someone I can recommend a software like nitrobit to implement security to the network. -- -- Roylan Suarez Reyes Admin. Redes JC. Vinales roylan04012@pri.jovenclub.cu Telef: 793210
