similar to: net command replacements for smbldap-tools

Hi There, i'm keep having problems with samba and smbldap-tools for adding machine accounts on the fly. So I'm somewhat sick of smbldap-tools and i wanted to know if someone is aware of an alternative to it. I haven't found one yet. Anyone? (except writing it myself what would be the very last alternative :) Thanks in advance Greets Patrick

Hi, Can virsh be used to connect to a standalone KVM? I.e. I started a KVM from the command line, and I wondered how to connect to it. Virsh list shows no VMs. Thanks.

Hi all, I've been working on shell scripts that allow to manage ldap accounts (users, groups, machines). They are similar to the smbldap-tools but do not need PERL to work (and so on...) and are *very* simple to configure - they may be a good alternative. The only tools you need are standard ldap client commands (ldapadd, ldapdelete, ldapmodify, ldapsearch). The scripts can be used as

Is it possible to script smbldap-useradd and smbldap-passwd to add users in bulk? Are there any sample scripts anywhere? I can't seem to find anything. Thanks, -Guy

Hi List, Yesterday i have upgraded from 5.0 to 5.1 and now i have a problem with smbldap-tools. I use smbldap-tools-0.9.4-1.el5.rf from rpmforge. Then i use smbldap-passwd <user> i get an error: smbldap-passwd test Changing UNIX and samba passwords for test New password: Retype new password: Use of uninitialized value in string at /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd line 277, <STDIN> line 2.

Hi, for those who are using ldap for managing Samba, here's a quick script I wrote to make it simple to list users or machines on the commandline. I use it to delete old machine entries that are not in use anymore. For usage, read the perldoc in the script. Place the script in the same directory as you have your other smbldap-tools scripts. The script is based on smbldap-usershow. Kind

I'm having an issue adding a sambaSamAccount objectClass to my machine accounts when running smbldap-useradd -w "machine$" It doesn't create samba attributes, but will create the account. In the smbldaap-useradd code, sambaSamAccount is sambaSAMAccount, but I don't know if that's what's doing it. the samba.schema file has sambaSamAccount defined. Someone having

Greetings, I just recently set up a new server with samba and openldap authentication using smbldap. The passwords seem to be expiring after about 30 days. How do I set them so that they don't expire? Thanks, Onatawahtaw

Hi All: I am following the documentation from samba.org to setup a PDC. I am stuck at the initial setup of the directory structure.

Hello Guys, I have configured samba & ldap as a domain controller before, but never on a redhat 9 system. I have updated samba & ldap as far as i can tell to the latest. Firstly I have a smaller issue (I think) I get this error when trying to restart ldap, as usual I have followed the samba howto; however it's not the documentation that is the problem more so an unusal problem or

Dear Sirs, I managed to get samba working with LDAP, users were migrated to LDAP by using pdbedit. Now I'm trying to add groups and users to groups. It doesn't work. which of tool should be used for samba-3/ldapsam: "net groupmap" ? pdbedit ? smbldap-tools ? Cheers, Ilia Chipitsine

I downloaded the new 8.3 (tgz format) ldap-tools from IDEALX today. When I run the smbldap-populate script I receive an error that it cannot find the smbldap_tools.pm file. This file was not included in the tar file. If I use the tools file from the samba 3.0.2pre1 distribution it is then expecting the old smbldap_conf.pm file which has now been split in favor of the /etc/smbldap-tools config. I

Good morning, I need your help please: I installed samba 3.0.11 as a PDC with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 and smbldap-tools 0.8.7. When I tried to initialise the LDAP directory using smbldap-ppopulate scrit, I received the following message: failed to add entry: modifications require authentication at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-populate line 460, <GEN1> line 2 .... I tried to modify my smbldap-tools

Hello, I'm running CentoOS4 and installed smbldap-tools from Dag's repository. I configured smbldap.conf, but get the following error trying to poplulate the directroy. Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions? I tried uninstalling perl-Convert-ASN1 and reinstalling, but it didn't help. smbldap-populate -a root -k 0 -m 0 Populating LDAP directory for domain TESTDOM

I really hate Debian sometimes - no I don't want to start a flame war! In the smbldap-populate script (0.84) some of the template entries are commented out, the first one being the one after "cn=Domain Guests". Obviously the perl version shipped with woody chokes on the commented parts, which causes the script to die. After uncommenting all the templates the script runs

The issue is that some of the smb.conf parameters have quotes in funny places that need to stay there (particularly the smbldap script "wrappers"). The smbldap tools will issue funny warnings that help to sidetrack finding actual problems...

Hello, smbldap-useradd -w "pc1$" ; echo $? returns a '141' and no other information. (and even worse: no update in the LDAP database) How can I get smbldap-useradd more verbose? Is a 'set -x' or '#DEFINE DEBUG=1' possible on the smbldap-tools Perl scripts? Cheers Geert Stappers

Hello, did you write the ldap Admin in your smb.conf? did you made a smbpasswd -w yourladpadminpasswort? smbpasswd -a root?

I am trying to merge our addressbook, courier-imap, postfix, and samba PDC entries into a single ldap directory. I have vampired all the data from our current PDC to use for testing and it seems that everything is merged and works. I am writing the docs and I have, for the first time, tried to run smbldap-useradd for a user who is both a posix user and windows user. I got an error that the next
