I'm having trouble using pdbedit to add user to a tdbsam database. I'm running Redhat Enterprise Linux ES 3.0, with the stock version of samba. I'm not sure why it won't let me add users. I tried it with smbpasswd and that didn't work either. Anyway here's a plethora of information: [root@samba root]# pdbedit -a -u root -d 10 INFO: Current debug levels: all: True/10

Hi all. I've just installed samba-3.0.1-rc1 as a PDC and I can add computers ( win2k ) to the domain, but when users log on, they get an error: ... windows cannot locate your roaming profile ... or words to that effect. My smb.conf is: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NUS server string = Samba Server %v bind interfaces only = true interfaces =

Hi all, hope someone can help me out with this.?? out of the blue all of my win98 machines (4 of them) cant access my domain.? I know they should be upgraded to a XP, but the app that we use on them only runs on 98.? the error i get on logon is: the domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied. at first i was thinking that it was the win98

Hi there ... I have a problem with my tdb-database after I've migrated from Debian-Samba-3.2.5-4lenny6 to Samba-3.2.5-4lenny7. All the old directories /etc/samba with the smb.conf and /var/lib/samba with the tdb-database has been hold. Now I've inexplicable effects with my tdb-database. - I cannot list my admin - user, which is the domain-administrator, in my passwd.tdb. - I cannot

Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

I've decided to share my experiences with the list in hopes that it will help someone else doing something similar avoid the problems I experienced, and hopefully, have a better experience. Here's the scope of my project: Original installation: - Samba 2.2.x series server - Workgroup security (read: local security, not domain security) - no domain controller - password database is

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

I'm trying to set up a samba PDC. I've been following the directions in "The Official Samab-3" book. I still don't understand how to add users! I'm using tdbsam and I set up all the add user scripts and what not in the smb.conf. pdbedit won't let me do anything unless I add the user with adduser(what's the point of the scripts?) and even when I add the user by

I have Samba and LDAP up and running, but I'm having problems editing the password policy using pdbedit. (I'm running 3.0.22) I've had a look at the man page for pdbedit but I don't really fully understand what it does in relation to passwd backends. Does pdbedit update just one backend and expect a user to export the updates to other backends? I think I've set up ldap as

Please help, I am experiencing a weird error when trying to join a winXP Pro workstation to my samba3 + LDAP Domain. When I specify the account to on my system that has uid 0, I receive a user account cannot be found error. Now I know this isnt the case since I can browse the samba server with this account. Note: it is in tdbsam not ldap When I look for the machine account in the ldap

Hi All, I have a setup using tdbsam as a backend, I can add accounts using pdbedit -a <username> but I have only been able to add one machine account. I can't figure out why. # pdbedit -a -m test tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (test$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) I have verified that there is no entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for the machine name I

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles. I used the smbldap tools. First there is the question if I should use add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" with the -a (is a Windows User) option. If I don't, then windows account

Hi everyone, my last question was some kind of bumpy and hard to understand. So I will try a better explanation of the issue this time. I was running a Samba 3.0.26a and tdbsam based PDC with roaming profiles for several years. Now the need came up to serve Windows Vista and up with roaming profiles, too. I patched all Vista, 7 and Server 2008 R2 nodes with the .reg provided in

Hello, I'm a bit unclear about domain control with Samba3 and windows terminal server. I would like to have a samba PDC + shares for roaming terminal server profiles (W2K). I'm trying now with tdbsam backend ; after that I will try with ldap. With pdbedit I can modify the roaming profile path, but I can't modify the terminal server profile path ? Has anybody tried this

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 onto a Pentium 4 machine. It is actually running SELinux enforcing, but I haven't found any errors related to that so far. It is running Samba 3.2.3-0.20. I am trying to migrate a Windows NT 4.0 domain with about 30 users and 30 computers onto a pure Samba setup, using Samba as the PDC and tdbsam. I have read the HOWTO guide extensively, and

Who wins the fight for the roaming profile path, "logon path" in smb.conf or "profile path" set by pdbedit? How do you force the "profile path" in pdbedit to get its value from "logon path" in smb.conf? Is it possible to disable roaming profiles by user with pdbedit and leave "logon path" set in smb.conf? Thanks.
