similar to: PDC-BDC Wins Resolution

Hello, Our company is trying to implement central Windows Domain at HQ and replicated across all its regional offices. The implementation will have a PDC/LDAP-master on HQ and BDC/LDAP-slave on each regional office. In the hopes of saving bandwidth we are trying to avoid the use of WINS between WAN links. Is there any way of not using WINS and still have the clients find the PDC (for updating

I have two serves set up. One will be my PDC (master) and the other will be my BDC (slave). I have openldap setup and replicating the data between the two servers. Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is fine. But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following: Unknown parameter

hi, i am trying to make solaris resolve windows names via nsswitch.conf using broadcasts and/or wins server. i have compiled samba and nsswitch/libnss_wins.so. i added wins to hosts section in nsswitch.conf and copied libnss_wins.so as /lib/nss_wins.so.1 and it does not work. am i missing something? please help, terry

I had no problem configuring WINS lookups, via nsswitch and libnss_wins.so, under Linux. The problem I am having is on Solaris. I am working with the 2.2.5 release of Samba. Everything in the nsswitch subdirectory compiles cleanly. wbinfo, which uses winbindd, resolves WINS entries no problem. (When I am running winbindd, that is.) Solaris appears to use /usr/lib/nss_wins.so.1 rather than

I have a network with RH7.2 (netbois name "server"), Mandrake 8.1 ("Linuxbox"), Smoothwall ("Smoothwall"), WinNT ("di-bosco"), Win 98 ("robertw" & "Nicole") x 2 and Win 2k ("DiBosco2k"). Smoothwall is the DHCP server. Why would it be that all the Windows machines can ping to a netbios name, eg ping server, ping Linuxbox

Hi, I just can't seem to get winbind to work on my BDC. I'm using FC3 and samba 3.0.20rc2. My PDC is RHEL4 running Samba 3.0.14a. / Openldap. I can join the BDC to the domain successfully using "net rpc join..." , but when i enter wbinfo -t to check the trust relationship i get checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was (0x0) Could not check secret I

Hello, For some time now have been trying to connect a Samba-3.0.14a-0.4 server running on SuSE Ent 9 linux server to our Exchange 2003 (running on Server 2003 Std w/ SP1) server which is also the AD server for our domain. I can connect to the shares using the AD as the authentication source, so the basic functionality is there but some command output does not show in the way i expect

WINS nsswitch module -------------------- The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd. my problem: old versions >> ping google.com >> PING google.com

As some of you may know, I'm trying to set up Samba BDC on a disk- and fan-less tiny mipsel_CPU router running OpenWRT distribution. I already managed to compile Samba 3.0.21a and OpenLDAP 2.3.18 for it, and they seem to work fine. The problem is, this tiny distribution for routers doesn't seem to have anything like Name Service Switch (NSS), and relies solely on /etc/passwd and

I'm using Debian Sid, and it seems like Iceweasel (aka Firefox) has been crashing a lot lately with "Bus Error" printed to stdout when it dies. I use mono/.net and python, so my C/C++ debugging skills are very lacking. I was able to capture the following using gdb on Iceweasel: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Hi list, This is driving me to distraction. I have installed the 3.0.14a RPMS on SLES8, and am following chapter 9 of the 'By Example' documentation, to migrate from an NT domain to a Samba domain backed by LDAP. I have followed the instructions up to the point where I enter: net rpc join -S pdc_it -U Administrator%password Unfortunately, this responds with: Creation of workstation

Hi All, Has any one got an idea of how to make clients automatically find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running by Samba authenticating again a LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. I can see that the replication is of

I'm hoping this is an easy question, but the way my day has gone I seriously doubt it is going to be. Today, I installed Samba 3.0.24 with winbind support on my FreeBSD 6.2 server. I am able to join my domain and get information concerning groups and passwords from the domain controller (Windows 2003) without any problem. Where I have run into a problem is using getent to get a copy of the

I have a SUN/Solaris system that functions like a web proxy server. In our corporate environment, PC client/brower can access a web server using URL with WINS name as well DNS. Can Samba be configured to on the system to support/resolve WINS names by pointing to corporate WINS servers - in addition to DNS (configured in /etc/resolv.conf)? Thanks.

Hello, Just wondering what I should be using for the password change program on a BDC. Should it be: passwd program = /usr/bin/smbpasswd -r <PDC address> %u I'm having a problem with passwords not staying in sync between the PDC and BDC with pass backend ldap. The systems are all Fedora Core 4, Samba 3.0.14a, openldap 2.2.23 Kent N

We use sambaPDC + LDAP On our BDC we have a replicated ldap slave. Everything seems to work fine. Hower, in the smbd log file we have the following messages (only on the BDC's) [2006/05/31 15:25:08, 1] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_modify_entry(1495) ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to modify user dn= uid=pc01233$,ou=Machines,dc=brrc,dc=be with: Referral [2006/05/31 15:25:08, 0]

hi, i see the same error message with samba 3.0.14a and OpenLDAP 2.2.23 (Debian Packages) with Master/Slave setup. i did not set up a referral to the master, so why does samba get a referral when attempting to write to a slave? is this an in-build samba feature? do i have to enable referrals to get this to work properly? any advise is appreciated! thx! micha Zwonarz Ivo wrote: > We use
