I have am hitting a wall with pdbedit, as shown below. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. I am encountering the inability to change any users (profile) SID on Samba 3.x for Linux and BSD, which causes the accounts to no longer recognize their local Samba 2 profiles once they join Samba 3 domain. If I add a new user and pdbedit -a user -U SID it ignores the -U. The old profiles appear

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

Hi Christian we did someithing similar some month ago and I only found only a rather complicated way. 1) We extracted the normal passwd and group information getent passwd > /root/passwd.out getent group > /root/group.out deleted system user and password, converted to ASCIi and sorted computers out of passwd.out grep '\$' /root/passwd.out.ascii  >

Hi, I've tried to search for the problem on the lists without finding a solution. I'm trying to recreate a crashed PDC system on a new system with samba 3.0.4. It is a small domain and I use tdbsam as a backend. No LDAP (yet ;). I could actually retrieve the old SIDs from a backup file, and also the smb.conf file. All other files was though lost :( I managed to give the new domain (PDC)

Robert, First off, the Samba Technical mailing list is not a help facility. Its purpose is purely for discussion of samba design and code implementation issues. Please confine your email to the normal Samba list. There are several avenues for Samba support: 1. The official documentation that consists of: Samba-3 by Example - a book that provides detailed deployment gudiance The Official

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

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

Hello, thanks for looking over my ramblings... We have an NT4 PDC with and NT4 BDC on 192.168.132.X, these boxes are very very old and overloaded. I am trying to replace them with a nice shinny new Samba box. My problem is that while I am trying to test it out to make sure it plays nice it keeps winning the elections. I find this weird as I have set the box to domain master = no and turned the

Hi, Running samba-4.1.12-24 on Centos 7.1, I've created about 15 user accounts which are working perfectly, then for some reason today I go to create another account and it starts erroring?

Hello everyone, I've been wondering if NT and UNIX username mapping can be done directly via the SAM database instead of the 'username map = <filename>' option in smb.conf. The problem with 'username map' files is that the mappings seem to work only in one direction, namely from NT towards UNIX usernames. However, I'd like to achieve a true, bi-directional

Hi List, I have some issues with user manager for domains (srvtools.exe from MS) and the scripts mentioned in the subject. The examples from the samba howto collection seem to cause serious issues here. I am on debian etch and tried to create my own scripts but till now to now avail. With the examples from the docs I could add groups, but could not add users to groups. There was the option -A

Hey guys, I'm trying to migrate my NT4 Domain and am having some problems. Ignoring my other post related to this, I can't get any of my machines to be able to login. Alls I ever get is "Your computer account was not found or the password is incorrect" I even tried rejoining the domain which works. I leave the domain and then rejoin it, it takes a LONG time (might just be

On my Samba PDC, using tdbpass: 'pdbedit -Lv agrotera$' produces: Unix username: agrotera$ NT username: Account Flags: [W ] User SID: S-1-5-21-4211105910-4270789338-3787013593-1414 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-4211105910-4270789338-3787013593-513 .....

Hi: We're running Samba on a Unix machine which is a member of the NT domain. This has several interesting ramifications involving UIDs and passwords (I've listed those below). But this is my basic question: Does anyone have any scripts they use across UNIX and NT to create user accounts? I have access to rsh and adduser.pl with the NT Resource Kit, so presumably I could write

User in group Domain Admins hasnt superuser (Administrator) privileges. For the first: shell> adduser poweruser shell> pdbedit -a -u poweruser shell> id poweruser uid=1004(poweruser) gid=1005(poweruser) groups=1005(poweruser) shell> net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=poweruser type=d shell> pdbedit -vL poweruser Unix username: poweruser NT

Hi All, I am confused. In one of the examples of a PDC, the following smb.conf parameter is given: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m -G users '%u' If you have "passdb backend = tdbsam" and the way to add users to "tdbsam" is "pdbedit -a -u username", what is the purpose of the "add user script"? I am thinking it is to add the user

Hi We are testing out samba at the moment version 3.0.0-15 on Fedora caore 1. And are using winbind to comunicate to our NT domain. doing a wbinfo -u at the command line scrolls threw all our domin users on the NT pdc. :) At the moment we are trying to get the samba server to creature the unix users from the supplied NT user accounts when an NT use logs onto the box for the first time by a

I have Samba PDC and use tdbsam backend. I use the version 3.0.11, but recently I have exchanged it for the version 3.0.23c. Now I have a number of problem. Here is one of then. I wish to move one user "gad" from Domain Users (RID 513) to Domain Guests (RID 514). Now Primary group of user "gad" is "Domain Users": pdbedit -Lv gad -d0 Unix username: gad NT

Hello I use the backend tdbsam.
