Hey, all -- I'm looking to do some LDAP/Samba 3.x integration. I've found a bunch of docs, but a lot of them either are outdated, incomplete, or reference materials I haven't been able to find. Is there a one-stop-shopping document I should be looking at? Thanks! Ken D'Ambrosio

Dear all.. I moved my samba server to a new linux box (faster, bigger, etc..), and I moved from Mandrake 10.1 to 10.3 (mdk 2006).. I just copy my old configuration file to the new linux box. The new linux's distribution comes with samba 3.0.20... ( In my WinXP's clients I didn't change anything). Of course, it doesn't work.. My clients can't connect to the new samba server...

Ok. Hi everybody. It's my first posting here. If I make something wrong, please notice me . And excuse me for my evil english (I will improve :-) ) . I'm trying to upgrade samba from 2.2.4 to 3.0.14 version and I would like to use the same smb.conf that I had. But something looks wrong in printing system , there are a lot of new options and I don't know why my old parameters

Mates, I dunno if nobody else is using the samba binaries to put 3.0.20-1 on SuSE 9.3 -- or -- if I'm just doing something stupid, but there seem to be library problems. Specifically, we are getting library errors for the *.so.2 libraries, regardless of whether we try via YAST or RPM. david@nemesis:~/Documents/linux/rpms/samba320> ll total 19970 -rw-r--r-- 1 david users 60998

Hello everybody, I was installed a lot of PDC under Linux Debian, here in my country, but i have a requirement from a client who wish to install a Primary Domain Controller with at least 30 Windows NT Backup domain controllers in all regions of his organization. I'll like to know if it is possible and where i find more information about a possible solution for this. Best Regards to all in

Hello, recently we succeeded in doing a test migration from NT4 to a samba BDC with LDAP. The LDAP directory is now filled with machine, group and user account information. My question: as I have set the smb.conf parameter "ldap passwd sync = Yes", I would have expected that "net rpc vampire" would also set the UNIX password of the LDAP user account entries, i.e. the

John, It's great to see you on this list. I'm a Samba newbie and recently found your book, "Samba-3 by Example". I must say this is the best written "how-to" type of book on any subject I have ever seen. The various examples fit a number of categories and answered so many questions for me. I just wish similar books were available on other applications. I just

I'm in the process of following John's excellent instructions for transfering an NT4 domain to Samba 3.0.20 running on 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 on an Intel box. Most things seem to work fine apart from the transfer of the machine accounts. These do not get moved because as retrieved from the NT server the name is in upper case and adduser refuses to add names in upper case, so I get the

I am following the Samba 3 How To and Samba 3 By Example to set up a Samba PDC. I have everything configured as shown, but when I run the command: /net getlocalsid/ I get this error: /Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try! / I'll post configs on Monday. Just wondered if anyone has encountered this and could

Hi People: In the how to posted on .. http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html The docs says several times to the option -B in the winbindd , but I can't find anything on the manpage about that switch and I can't notice any difference by using it. The docs are outdated? or my 3.0.24 dosen't have this feature? Tnxs in advance.

I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it only shows up to certain number of

Hi, I have got a problem with samba for days now and I don't know how to solve it. My problem is, that it doesn't matter if I enable or disable Roaming Profiles, all I get is a temporary profile. If i enable Roaming Profiles, than i get a temporary serverside Profile. If I disable Roaming Profiles, than i get a temporary local Profile. Can somebody please help me? With Roaming

Hi, samba 3.14 with ldapsam, working fine. I tried this usrmngr.exe thingie because one of our admins is very gui-oriented, wanted to see if it worked fine. For most users, it is. I can change details, logon hours, groups, passwords. But for 3 of them I get this message: ldapsam_getsampwsid: More than one user with SID [S-1-5-21-3707708495-1570892323-1667890705-3076].

Hi, ive read a lot in the howto about netbios/ddns, but im still confused if its possible for samba to only use tcp/ip without netbios. are there any howtos for this topic that are not mentioned in the samba3 howto? Greets Julius

Hi again, This is a follow up to a previous e-mail, but no luck so I have done some more digging. I don't understand why it is so difficult to map between a existing user on a Windows Server (SID) and an existing user on a Unix/Solaris (UID) user, since all information is available? unix# /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -n andrew S-1-5-21-1984182827-583073959-8547516-2056 User (1) unix# tail

Folks, I realize this is off topic, and if anyone can suggest a better source for the question, I'd be glad to go there. Novell SUSE's support is unresponsive, however. My problem is this: I'm running 9.3 Pro on an Intel server board that has two NIC chips built in (a 10/100 and a GigE). I've since added a Netgear GigE NIC. However, every time I reboot, the NICs assigned to
