I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

After trying to get all the policy stuff nailed down I figured I'd save others the trouble, so I wrote up a primer and posted it on my site at http://www.ehsco.com/reading/20051031.html Hoepfully that will save others some trouble -- Eric A.

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

Hi, I've been using TrippLite's PowerAlert software with my RM2200XL2U rack system and my APC BackUPS desktop systems. Unfortunately it doesn't work with openSUSE 10.2 (the software has problems with the serial port and UPS interfaces on openSUSE 10.2), so I've been looking at other options. I see that openSUSE 10.2 includes NUT, and it appears to work with my TrippLite UPS via

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

Hi there, I just saw samba added the "net rpc service" for Win32 service management since 3.0.20, and it's fantastic. I used to use samba-tng to do this job, but now I can use samba! However, I also found it has limited usage. I cannot pass parameters when I start a service, and I cannot create a new service, too. Is there any plan for samba to extend this feature? -- Best

We've got a Windows 2003 server which won't join our Samba domain, it just sits their forever after I give the root password to join. It doesn't give an \ error message or "Welcome to domainxyz" message. It also won't join a workgroup, which is strange. Has anyone else seen this problem? No problems with XPSP2 clients. Not got 2003 SP1 on yet, might try that next.

Hi list. I've decided to try and tackle this one piece at a time. Does anyone know why I would get the following error: [root@primary ~]# net groupmap list [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsamgrent(2458) ldapsam_setsamgrent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_enum_group_mapping(2523) ldapsam_enum_group_mapping:

Hello, I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9, and I am trying to get Samba to authenticate using LDAP. I am using the YaST system tool to configure the LDAP server, LDAP client, and SAMBA. The issue I am having is that after I configure the Samba server to use the LDAP backend it prompts me for a password creation for the root user. This root user will be added to the LDAP

I'm running the samba-client-3.0.20-0.1 SUSE RPM. I was using the version that came with 9.3 but upgraded to see if this specific problem would go away. Guest access does not appear to be working correctly, and it looks like the problem is due to guest not getting mapped into the LDAP query correctly. Specifically, I can login with local account, join workstation to the domain, browse

I keep getting this kind of stuff in /var/log/messages Jan 18 17:45:03 bulldog tripplite_usb[9979]: libusb_get_interrupt() returned -110 instead of 8 Should I be worried about it? upsc seems to work fine...

Mates, Still can't get the latest samba binaries to inatall on SuSE 9.3. I've downloaded them from the samba site and from ftp://ftp.primastasys.com/pub/Samba-Packages/ still no joy.

Is user authentication ever needed for just querying variables? My cacti script seems to be cooked, and I'm just wondering if I need to mess with username/password stuff. Not hard but if it's not needed then why bother... Thanks -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/

Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated,

Here's the situation. We've got an old NT4 domain (not a Samba domain in NT 4 mode) which we'll call CRUSTY. There is of course an NT4 PDC and several NT4 BDCs. We have some Linux/Samba file servers (Samba 3.0.1) that are member servers (security = domain) of the NT4 domain. We also have several NT4 BDCs and about 200 workstations of varying vintage (2000, XP) in several

Hi, I?ve setup a Samba 2.0.5a on a SuSe 6.2 based Linux 2.2.10. I?m trying to integrate the server into our NT domain SF-DOM as described in samba/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt . The described procedures work, but access as domain user is impossible. In the logfile I get: [1999/09/14 11:18:31, 2] smbd/server.c:main(716) Changed root to / [1999/09/14 11:18:31, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(96)
