Hi all, I have a script that I wish to implement for adding users and samba users in bulk. I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandriva LE2005 although the script dates back to samba 2 days. The script works by reading the user's name, password and group from a text file, first generating Unix user accounts and then running: /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -s $user $pwd > /dev/null to add the smb

Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

Hi all, I''ve just built Mandrake 10.1 on a Compaq Deskpro that I''ve built as a router/firewall and am redirecting port 80 outbound to force users through the Content Filter. I''ve run this setup on Mandrake 9.0 and 10.0 without any problems but this time the following happens. Squid is accessed through port 3128 and Dansguardian via 8080. If I set my browser on a

Hi All, I have samba 3.0.23 running on Ubuntu and have a problem with ID maps. When viewing file permissions on the PDC (Samba 3.0.20/Redhat EL4) Win XP resolves the SID/RID to NT user and group names. With the Ubuntu mamber server however, it shows only the SID. I checked that the user and group idmaps in Samba's Winbind setting were matching ranges and even deleted the contents of

Ok folks, here goes: We have an old NT4 machine that we wish to replace as the PDC on our network. In it's place, we've got a dual xeon box with Mandrake LE2005 and Samba 3.0.13-2 and I'm currently trying to draw the accounts over with vampire. I'm using tdbsam as a backend. I've been through several readme's and howto's and have created all the UNIX accounts,

Hi Guys Thanks a lot this has helped me greatly. The basics are now working i just have to migrate the rest of the user accounts and all will be well. :) Regards Andrew On 8/26/07, Julian Pilfold-Bagwell <jools@oss4all.plus.com> wrote: > Volker Lendecke wrote: > > On Sun, Aug 26, 2007 at 03:12:30PM +0200, Andrew Jeremy Gargan wrote: > > > > > >> write list

Hi all, I have a problem with adding point and print to a print server.

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of

Hi all, I'm currently migrating from tdbsam to LDAP and want to restructure my setup at the same time. I can get the SIDs for the user and machine accounts using pdbedit -Lv | grep SID but I have 800 users so I don't want to reset their passwords. So far, I've dumped the contents of the tdbsam database into an smbpasswd backup file and am running john-the-ripper across it.

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi All, I have a tdbsam backend on Samba PDC and am trying to set a user up as a domain admin. I read that instead of the old admin users line in smb.conf you now use net groupmap to map unix groups to NT groups. I have a user called toni in unix group admins and have run: net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins running: net groupmap list gives: Domain

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

To anyone out there who's having problems joining their Samba/LDAP domain with XP here's a solution. The main symptom is that the XP join domain gui returns a "user cannot be found" error. The setup that I experienced this on was configured and managed using the smbldap-tools package. Usual disclaimer applies if it fails to work, you are responsible for backing up your

I have Fedora Core 1 workstations configured with winbind logging onto our NT domain. Everything is going well except that I cannot seem to figure out how to connect to a windows home directory on a Win2000 server. Here is the scenario: W2K server with home directories for each user: Each user has modify permissions to their share Administrator has full control First off, I need to somehow

Hi all, This question has probably been asked and solved/dismissed several times before, but I didn't find any clear solution googling about. The problem is I have a samba server (in Mandriva LE2005) with "security=share" (this is the setting I want). There I have a shared directory I'd like to be available to anyone, provided they give the correct password (win98 style). When

I am testing w/ a PC loaded w/ Centos 5 and Samba (whatever version it came with) I have not had any luck with connecting WinXP clients to it (or anything for that matter) I think my problems stem from not joining the domain correctly. What is the proper method for Win XP or WIn 2K . When I get a chance I am gonna connect a PC to my test network. To join a domain, you would need (at

Hi All, I've got LDAP running as the backend to Samba 3.0.24 and am trying to set the profile directories to mandatory for one group of users and roaming for another. To this end I'm using the sambaProfilePath in LDAP but it's getting overridden by something that's setting it to %u. As a result of this, when I log out of an account which points to the mandatory profile, it
