Hi, I'm looking for some help to migrate from plain text to encrypted passwords. I'm using smbpasswd for authentication on a FreeBSD 4.9 server with samba 2.2.8. When we set up our server, we had Win95 clients with plain text passwords. As we introduced Win98 clients, we just kept with the plain text passwords. Now we are looking at XP clients and enctrypted passwords. My understanding

Brief history, originally setup as Ubuntu 7.10. Upgraded to 8.04.1LTS, Samba 3.0.28 and has latest updates installed as of this morning. Currently Samba is configured to use smbpasswd for passdb backend. As tdbsam has become the peferred backend, would like to migrate to tdbsam. When I attempt "pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tbdsam" I get the following result: "No builtin backend found,

Hi All, Just upgraded a test box to 3.0.23b and discovered some changes that cause a panic. I had an smb.conf with passdb backend = tbdsam guest The guest bit now causes panic action. log.smbd complains ... "No builtin nor plugin backend for tdbsam guest found" Either the build options have changed or the guest operative has issues. Works OK without guest, but it's been

Hello list, I have a samba 3.5.6 running on a Debian squeeze machine. This box is running since more than a year without any problems. Since a couple of days we have the following problem. One Win7 user doesn't get his user profile any more The log file tells: [2013/03/04 07:43:14.641151, 1] auth/auth_util.c:580(make_server_info_sam) User WIN7MACHINE$ in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

Okay, have a small office running Samba on MDK 10.1 and XP workstations: samba-server-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-client-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-vscan-clamav-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk samba-common-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk Using tbdsam as our backend. I recently added a new user, however this user does not run the regular login script for some reason net use h: \\FILESERVER\homes /YES net

Help!! I have been using tbdsam as a backend and I have been unable to get the pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 3 to be enforced. When I set the attribute it seems that I can try to login as many times as I want. Any help out there? Terrance

Hi All, I just upgraded a workstation server to a PDC server. I am using tbdsam as my user database. Question 1: As a workgroup server, I created my groups in /etc/group (groupadd). Is this still the case? Do I also need to tell Samba about a different database for groups? Question 2: occasionally I get asked for the user with "administrator's" privileges. Do I need to

Hi, I'm trying to get samba (v3.0.23d) going on an embedded system. Our initial requirement is to get a very simple windows share operational. No security required, read only anonymous access. With this in mind we followed the guidelines as per the samba documentation: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/StandAloneServer.html#simplynice Samba (smbd) crashes with a

Sorry about not being specific enough. I will try and be more so in the future. Here is what I have currently: Apple X-serve running Yellowdog (a Redhat 9 port for ppc) with 1GB of RAM, 3 60GB HD not setup as RAID. They are individual partitions (/var and /, /home and /shared). The shared partition is strictly for Samba file sharing. I build in a matching user in both the system and in

Hi, Thanks in advance. I am not sure if my system is setup to use 'mbox' or 'maildir'. How do I find this out? I am running an OpenBSD (v3.5) box with an Intel P3 motherboard. I have installed the OpenBSD port of Dovecot (0.99.10) and have manually started dovecot and configured the ssl certificates as per the documentation. As far as I can tell there is no problems but I am

Hi all, I posted a message about this problem a couple of weeks ago without a response so I'm trying again. My problem is that samba does not seem to be running passwd as root when it tries to sync the passwords. For example, when I run smbpasswd as a user logged onto the samba box I get the following error: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified

Hello, Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine names were not created. Creating account: IT-NT$ Could not create posix account info for 'IT-NT$' Creating account: PDC$ Could not create posix account info for 'PDC$' <snip> And seemingly random user accounts were also not created. Can I make another pass with vampire to retrieve the missed

Hi, Can anyone help me with an annoying problem regarding capital letters in usernames. I have three users whose usernames begin with a capital, and I'd really like to fix this so that all usernames are lower case, for consistency and to avoid confusion if they use other services provided by the linux box. (I'm using tbdsam backend, with Samba 3.0.22 as PDC.) I've tried using

First of all, apologies for our hilarious system architecture. It's this way for historical reasons. I had a setup that worked; I now have a setup that doesn't work and I'm trying to work out why. The setup that worked: OS X Tiger (10.4) Server as PDC. Linux servers (a variety of flavours, from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to SLES 11 SP2) getting user information from the server by LDAP and

I had to ask an IT guy to come run a script that does the equivalent of net ads join and a few other things needed for an

Hi, Samba-3 with LDAP backend is capable in this. I'm using it and it works. All you have to do, is to use LDAP and set proper account policies: $ pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 5 (after 5 wrong password, user account will be locked out - samba sets password hashes to ***NOPASSWORD*** and user is unable to logon). $ pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 9 # password
