Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Hello Anytime I try to do anything with the root user (like join the domain) or run 'net user' or 'net group' with root, when I enter the correct password, I get NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL .... I've been trying more commands, and if I run tdbedit -e=tdbsam (to export the smbpasswd to tdbsam style), I get this error : tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [root]

Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

I've upgraded my system at Samba 3.0.20 (SLES 8) bacause of some errors on winbind and Windows 2003. Now, usrmgr.exe doesn't work anymore. It reports: ?procedure number is out of range - Do you want to administrate another domain?? USRMGR has been working for 3 years; I've made all upgrades on Windows 2000, but the results it's the same. Any Idea? uz.

hello i think always the same problem :( so i would like to put drivers on my samba server in $print in howto they said in section "Add printer wizard driver installation" chap 20 : " Do not click on Yes! Instead, click on No in the error dialog. Now you will be presented with the printer properties window. From here, the way to assign a driver to a printer is open. ->

hi@all! i set up a system where samba is a primary and a secondary domain controller; the authentication is over ldap and everything works fine but.... i would like to test what happen when the pdc is down and so i shutdown the smb service on the pdc. the logins from all clients worked well on the bdc but when i try to join a new machine to the domain, it can't contact the domain

I'm trying to set up Samba 3.0.20-4-SUSE on a opensuse 10 machine. I'm working with XP Pro on the client machine. I can't get the XP mahcine (RDS7) to join the domain (UCD). It asks for a user when trying to join and then says it cannot find it. The samba log is: auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(317) check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [root] -> [root] FAILED with error

Is there a way to enable user to change password on first signon?

Hi, I've noticed that Windows Updates, just won't do NTLM auth, so i've just added a no_auth exception for windows update sites. How many children are you starting. I'm serving +700 users with just one squid with 30 ntlm_auth processes on a PII/800 MHZ/256 MB Ram with no problems wathsoever.

The exact configuration mentioned below used to work on rhel3, and when updated to rhel4 it stopped working... when visited the samba log file, there was this error : useradd: invalid user name 'wpvm01$' rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_create_user(2272) could not add user/computer wpvm01$ to passdb.

OK. I've given up on using the 'net vampire' feature to suck our NT4 info. Now I want to start afresh. I've set the smb.conf file up, and run the script I found in the HTML docs to map common Windows Domain groups to unix groups. This worked OK. Now I want to create a root account so I can actually join the domain from a Windows 2000 client. When I run:

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

Hello, Sorry to have posted in the wrong thread, resending the email.

Hello, I'm trying to add a user to big list of Samba groups, 74 groups to be precise. The problem is that when the user reaches around 65 to 70 groups, it starts giving errors in User Manager for Domains, and causes a panic in Samba. Is there a limit for how many groups a user may belong? I'm using Samba-3.0.10 with openldap. This is what I get in the logs. [2005/02/07 13:22:42, 0]

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is
