Hi ! I have followed the Samba-Howto, but I still have some problems. Our network is composed of Win2K stations and two samba servers (2.2.5) running under SuSE Linux 8.1.

VLOUCHI is a second file server and its workgroup (thus domain) is also CHERYLNET ; security is

hi list, we have some trouble with openldap (back-bdb) and samba. i think it's more a problem with openldap and bdb (http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200510/msg00185.html) but i want to know something about your experiences with openldap in large enterprises. what are your settings for slapd and bdb? or is there a better backend for slapd than bdb? which software versions are

Dear Team, The OpenLDAP stuff on this page: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html is not the preferred backend, i.e. ldbm, it really, really needs to be bdb. See: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=bdb%20ldbm&file=1085 "ldbm uses a neutral storage interface which in principle could wrap dbm, ndbm, gdbm or sleepycat as underlying storage;

I have been testing with openldap_2.2.13-2 and have experience on 2 occasions lockups where the ldap server does not respond (slapcat will just hang). I have upgraded to openldap_2.2.13-4. Is there a recommended version of openldap for SambaPDC? Does anyone have a system in production using openldap_2.2.13-2 or openldap_2.2.13-4? I'm currently using samba3-20b any recommendations for a

Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults. Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it''s quite likely some files

We have had a Samba LDAP-PDC-BDC system setup for close to 3 months with about 60 computers in the domain. Earlier we had a power outage and about 30 computers no longer were able to log into the domain or authenticate. Some were NT Workstations and some were W2k. But not all NT or W2K workstations were affected. If we went to network neighborhood we would see the error message "

Hello, I've a Debian 3.1 box with Samba 3.0.9 acting as a PDC with OpenLDAP 2.1.30, smbldap-tools 0.8.5, libnss-ldap version 220-1.

I'm currently re-installing db41 port. Earlier using 'innodb_force_recovery = 6' seemed to fix that PANIC error. But I don't understand this permission error. I've tried various permissions as well 777, 766, 666, 760, etc etc. I've also ran mysqld_safe as root user, but with same permission error. Also tried different directories without luck.

I am following the instruction in Samba by Example chapter 6 on a RHEL4 server. Everything seems OK until I get to 6.3.5.7, which says to do the following:- root# getent passwd | grep Adminstrator which returns nothing, indicating that the nsswitch (nss_ldap libary) is not working. I cannot find anything in any of the log files to give my a clue nor any hints on how to debug this. Any

Hi, I am running into a bit of a strange problem. I have a Perl script that creates usernames for mass-adding users. This script used to use the standard Linux 'adduser' command to add users to the system. I am now switching everything over to LDAP, including Samba.
