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

I noticed that when I create users with smbldap-useradd, the default group is "Domain Users". Is this the best user/group default setup for Samba/LDAP? I'm more familar with the unix user/group setup like max/students or max/faculty. Does the user group have to be "Domain Users" when using Samba? Thanks, Yasee smbldap-useradd -m -a username (where the username is

My passwords have expired again in my LDAP/Samba setup. I have been reading in the Samba How-To and just want to make sure this is what I need to do before I try it. If I want to have my passwords expire in the year 2015, do I need to do the following to all of my users? pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2015-01-01" --time-format="%Y-%m-%d" username Using the ldap-usermod

Sorry, if this has been dealt with before, but I couldn't find it. I tried installing openldap 2.2 + samba 3. Currently I only have one install of openldap 2.0 and samba 2.2 running. Now, it all looks quite good, but the smbldap-tools do not add the necessary structuralobjectClass entries, so using the tools fails. I was able to manually change the first populate - which could be exported

I have a Samba 3 server setup using LDAP for the backend. I keep getting a message that the passwords will expire. This happened about a month ago and I did not worry about it, because my XP machines kept telling me this last year, but they never expired. I figured it was something to do with XP and not my Samba server. This year though, with my new server, they did expire and I had to

Well, I am still having problems with my samba server. For some reason, I cannot add all of the users in. I am running a batch useradd program. I can get about 450 or so added in, then it gives me an error that the user does not exist when I go to add the last 60 or so. My batch program actually reads in the users name and then does something like: /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -a -u

I have a problem with some Samba permissions. Here is the share. [bhs] path = /school/bhs read only = no valid users = @teacher @admin @bhs create mask = 660 force create mode = 2660 directory mask = 770 force directory mode = 3770 T: is mapped to a DFS share with permissions 3777, then the 'bhs' share is a link in the DFS share. I get inconsistent

I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it only shows up to certain number of

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

I had this problem some last year and never got it figured out. Now it is bugging me. It seems that sometimes when a student writes his/her file to a directory, it will not keep the correct group. It puts his/her main group as the group owner and that fouls things up. Here is what I have. Unix Permissions /school 3777 admin.teacher /school/bhs 3777 admin.teacher /school/bhs/reese

Hello Guys, About a week ago I wrote in with a issue with smbldap-populate; it wouldn't populate because it was missing some packages. This has since been resolved. I am running redhat 9 on a test server, just for more experience really; I am using redhat 9 because of a scsi raid driver needed, please do not ask about this. Ok so here is where I am at> I have been using Samba 3 by

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

Hi! I'm following the idealx setup on setting up Samba as a PDC with a LDAP backend. It says, to add a user, one should do: smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m -g 900 administrator This gives me the following error message: ldap_modify: Object class violation additional info: object class 'sambaAccount' requires attribute 'rid' ldif_record() = 65

Yay, I finally got my samba 3 PDC working! Following a variety of indirect hints I used the root account to join, rather than trying to mess around with various groups and group mappings. I had done this before, with no good effect, but checked more carefully this time and found that it was my machine account that was not being found, not the root account. Further investigation shows that when

I cannot add machines to the samba pdc because of this... everything else with samba/ldap seems to work, I have the feeling it is related to this # Where are stored Idmap entries (used if samba is a domain member server) # Ex

Hi, I just thought I'd post here some notes after a loong bugsearch. Keywords: failed to perform search; Unexpected EOF using Domain Admins to add machines The problem was that I got this in the sambalog: _samr_create_user: Running the command `/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "machine$"' gave 127 Part of the problem was that this isn't a lot to go on, and the command

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

Hi, I'm walking through Samba-Guide, chapter making happy users on Debian lenny. It's hard to me, because I'm new to ldap. I add users with smbldap-useradd -m -a xyz, smbldap-passwd xyz, smbpasswd xyz and they run without error. getent passwd xyz:x:1008:513:System User:/data/users/xyz:/bin/bash id xyz uid=1008(xyz) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users) Ok, so far, but:
