similar to: test platform - samba + ldap issue smbldap-useradd hangs

Well I am glad that there has been alot of input on this topic, alot of people are having different opinions but that is because we are not focusing with the problem at hand. The documentation provides full details on how to get samba + ldap working from scratch; but there seems to be a gap between chapter 5 & 6; Once again I will say I love this book; by far the best technical reference

Hello Guys, I have configured samba & ldap as a domain controller before, but never on a redhat 9 system. I have updated samba & ldap as far as i can tell to the latest. Firstly I have a smaller issue (I think) I get this error when trying to restart ldap, as usual I have followed the samba howto; however it's not the documentation that is the problem more so an unusal problem or

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

Is it possible to script smbldap-useradd and smbldap-passwd to add users in bulk? Are there any sample scripts anywhere? I can't seem to find anything. Thanks, -Guy

I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

Hey everyone, When someone leaves the company, I prefer to disable their account rather than remove it (so that you can see who owns any files they might leave on a filesystem somewhere). I'm using an LDAP backend for Samba, and I'm using smbldap-tools to manage accounts. So, today I was going to disable an account for the first time since switching over from plain /etc/passwd and

I'm having an issue adding a sambaSamAccount objectClass to my machine accounts when running smbldap-useradd -w "machine$" It doesn't create samba attributes, but will create the account. In the smbldaap-useradd code, sambaSamAccount is sambaSAMAccount, but I don't know if that's what's doing it. the samba.schema file has sambaSamAccount defined. Someone having

Hi! I'm following the idealx setup on setting up Samba as a PDC with a LDAP backend. It says, to add a user, one should do: smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m -g 900 administrator This gives me the following error message: ldap_modify: Object class violation additional info: object class 'sambaAccount' requires attribute 'rid' ldif_record() = 65

Yay, I finally got my samba 3 PDC working! Following a variety of indirect hints I used the root account to join, rather than trying to mess around with various groups and group mappings. I had done this before, with no good effect, but checked more carefully this time and found that it was my machine account that was not being found, not the root account. Further investigation shows that when

/usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w computername Error looking for next uid at /usr/local/sbin///smbldap_tools.pm line 879, <DATA> line 283. I cannot add machines to the samba pdc because of this... everything else with samba/ldap seems to work, I have the feeling it is related to this # Where are stored Idmap entries (used if samba is a domain member server) # Ex

Hi all, I have setup samba / openldap as describes by the idealx howto and as such I am using the smbldap-tools. However, I would like to add the givenname and email address fields for all users. What is the best way to do this? I would prefer continuing to use the smbldap-tools, but I cannot seem to find a good way to do this. When I try to: $ smbldap-usermod -M testuser@testdomain.net

Hello, smbldap-useradd -w "pc1$" ; echo $? returns a '141' and no other information. (and even worse: no update in the LDAP database) How can I get smbldap-useradd more verbose? Is a 'set -x' or '#DEFINE DEBUG=1' possible on the smbldap-tools Perl scripts? Cheers Geert Stappers

Hi, I just thought I'd post here some notes after a loong bugsearch. Keywords: failed to perform search; Unexpected EOF using Domain Admins to add machines The problem was that I got this in the sambalog: _samr_create_user: Running the command `/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "machine$"' gave 127 Part of the problem was that this isn't a lot to go on, and the command

Hi, I'm walking through Samba-Guide, chapter making happy users on Debian lenny. It's hard to me, because I'm new to ldap. I add users with smbldap-useradd -m -a xyz, smbldap-passwd xyz, smbpasswd xyz and they run without error. getent passwd xyz:x:1008:513:System User:/data/users/xyz:/bin/bash id xyz uid=1008(xyz) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users) Ok, so far, but:

I'm trying to get Samba 3.0.23d set up to run as a PDC on SuSE 10.2. I'm getting *very* close, but I have one small issue. I can't add users. When I run: smbldap-useradd -a <a new user> -m I get the following in the messages file: Mar 6 13:59:38 macallan slapd[4731]: conn=50 fd=24 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:11246 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Mar 6 13:59:38 macallan slapd[4731]: conn=50

Hello all! I have spent a lot of time chasing down what I think is a bug in smbldap-tools. It seems like many other people have experienced the same problem too. It was pretty hard to triage so I'm writing it down here. The symptom of the problem is that Windows machines cannot join your Samba+LDAP PDC. When you try to change the domain Windows pops up a dialog box saying "no such

Hi all, I have smb.conf with: add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u"

I'm in the process of learning Samba and evaluating it as a possible replacement for Windows NT servers in our office next year. I have set up a small test network comprised of one NT 4 (SP6a) Workstation, one Windows 2000 Pro (SP3) and one Fedora Core 3 running samba 3.0.11 as a PDC. I'm using LDAP as the passdb backend with smbldap-tools 0.8.7-1. The Windows 2000 Pro machine can join the
