similar to: logon home and path

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba. First is my relevant snippet for the Logon Path and Logon Home being empty as described in the documentation. Then, following that, is my entire smb.conf -- please let me

Hi I've compiled samba 3.0.2a on Solaris 8 and have issues with home directory mounting. We previously had two servers each Solaris 8 running 2.2.8a, one as a pdc, the other as a bdc. Our users have their home directories split across the two servers, and the home directory was under 2.2.8a mounted by way of the NIS automap feature. They could log on to a WinXP machine (which was a

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 . I've smb.conf, slapd.conf, ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, nsswith.conf almost same as described on Idealx site. I've very strange thing. If I add user ( for this operation I use smbldap-tools), I can log on by this user at my unix host (for example by ssh), I can logon by this user

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

I'm running samba-3 on gentoo using samba as a pdc to manage users to designated shares and home directories. I have managed to create users/passwords which create the shared drives using a batch file. However, when I do login with the user, it says it can't create a profile and forces the the creation of a temporary profile which is deleted when the user logs out. Is there a way to fix

Hey guys, Got an interesting problem for you all. I am currently running Samba 3.0212 on a Fedora Core 5 server. I am trying to set up the users' home directories and profile paths. This is how I want it to work. I have a share called "Home" to store all the home directories. So for example the home directory path would be \\server\home\user. I want to set the Profile path to

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.

I would like to have roaming profiles for one group of users (student1, student2), and local profiles for another group of users (Joe, Mary). Is it possible with Samba? From what I've tested, one can use either roaming profiles with a setting similar to the one below: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U Or local profiles, using the logon path empty: logon path = I have no clue how to

I am migrating a Freebsd 8.2 Samba 3.5.11 system to Freebsd 9.1 Samba 4.0.4. I copied over all of the users home directories, local accounts, and the tdb files. I ran the classic upgrade tool, got the server up and running, and users could login however they were on fresh local profiles rather than roaming profiles. In the log file for the station, I found the following message [2013/04/13

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 people, i was experimenting with the pdbedit and i found the "user must change password at next logon". The thing i wan't able to make it work. I just can login and im not asked to change my password! How's that? The other thing.. i want to make my password expire after 30 days. I did this too, but it dosen't apply until i change my password one more time. I can make

Hi Moray, ? Thanks for your answer. It could help but only partially. ? The script name logon%u.cmd was a bad example. Actually, a user can log on from WinXP , or Win 7 workstations, and I'like to run different logon scripts depending on the OS . So having logon script = logon%a.cmd in the smb.conf generally works thanks to variable substitution. ? But for user accounts that have been

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

I recently am migrating my PDC from NT4 to Samba 3.025. Apparently due to a mismatch between the capitalization of the Windows account and the Unix account (Administrator vs administrator) I managed to lock the account before catching the discrepenacy. # pdbedit -v administrator Unix username: Administrator NT username: Administrator Account Flags: [ULX Bad password count

Dear all, I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a lot of users and machines are missing ! Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly well. The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a new server... TECHNICAL DETAILS : * Samba 3.3.10 * Number of machines : * Unix : 128 machines * pdbedit

Hi, all -- I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their samba passwords easily and quickly.? It looks something like: ?? useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname ?? echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u accountname If I type the lines from the keyboard, it works fine.? However, when I try to execute the script, the

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 have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

I am confused on the various account creation methods in samba. I am running Fedora Core 8 and Samba 3.0.26a-6. 1.)
