Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Hi samba list, I'm using samba 3(.0.13) with OpenLDAP and I have a strange problem: the variables %U and %G don't seem to be replaced by their values. I get nothing in my logs, so I don't know where is the problem... In fact, in my smb.conf, I have something like: logon home = logon path = \\server\profiles\prof.%G logon drive = h: The profiles are loaded if I use logon

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

Dear Samba Friends, I've a problem to join with Windows2000-Clients a Samba-PDC. When I join the samba-pdc with a WinNT4.0-Client it is no problem, first I create a machine-account for the machine: 1. in /etc/group exists the group: machines:x:515: 2. useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c nickname -s /bin/false neuch205$ 3. pdbedit -a -m -u neuch205 In this way, it isn't a problem to join

I'm finally near the end (I hope) of setting samba 3.0.14a as a PDC on a debian sarge, but I (and google, and list archive) can't manage to find a solution. When I add user with the help of usrmgr on my XP box, user is created both in linux and samba (thanks user add script), but lacks profile info (I mean Home Directory, HomeDir Drive, Logon Script and Profile Path), so roaming profile

I have quite a few samba installations, and I've had problems with roaming profiles when upgrading from Samba 2.2 to 3.0. My servers run Debian stable, which uses Samba 2.2.3, with security patches. At some point Debian will release a new stable version with a recent Samba 3.0 release. Right now I'm testing a few servers with a samba 3.0.10 backport to make sure the transition will go

Hi All, I have just upgraded from Samba 3.0.7 to 3.0.20 on mandrake 10.1 Before upgrading I could add a machine account and admin (root) user to the password backend, join to the domain and check the trust secret. All was well. wbinfo -a name%password would authenticate, as I require for ntlm_auth with squid (which was working well). Now with the same layout, I do this :- Add unix account

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

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'm using samba on CentOS 3.7 (3.0.9 + rh patches) I had smbpasswd as backend and I'm testing migration to tdbsam. After exporting successfully to tdbsam and setting passdb backend = tdbsam in smb.conf if I change from inside a windows xp machine the password ot the user and then pdbedit-Lv user I get Logon time: 0 Logoff time: ven, 13 dic 1901 21:45:51 GMT Kickoff time:

I need to log to a separated file just user/computer logon and logoff. I would like not to use log level > 2 to do this. I have tried using vfs_full_audit but it works well into shares definitions. I don't care if the user access a shared directory, I just need to record user login and logoff. Thanks

Hello Group, I've been reading many posts but i still don't have the answer to how to force a password change or set a password lifetime. I'm using w2k clients which connect to a samba PDC version 3.0.10 on a basic SunOS 5.8 system, no ldap or so. syncing the ux-passwords and the smb-passwords works perfect, but i can't get it working to force users to change passwords. The

In my current ''production'' NT-like domain (samba 4.2, OpenLDAP backend), password policies seems to ''get written'' to user data. EG, if i set: pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 and i change my password, 'Password must change' have a meningful value, eg 90 days more then the last password change: root at armitage:~# pdbedit -v

Hi All, I'd like to know if anyone has figured out a way to be able to have users logon/logoff manually from Cisco 79xx phones (with SIP firmware loaded)? Scenario is, user walks into office, sits at a random desk, and logs onto the phone. The system would need to "log them off" of the last hardphone they were on, and then configure the new phone for their extension. We're
