similar to: Samba with LDAP

Again, another confusing issue in two how-to's I'm trying to resolve. In the SBE (samba-3 by example) Pg 161 in the PDF states. (It's actually page 200 of the PDF, but 161 of the numbered document pages.) "The name service caching daemon (nscd) is a primary cause of difficulties with name resolution, particularly where winbind is used." But the Authconfig in the IDEALX

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC running on OpenSuSe 10 with LDAP as the backend and am running Mandriva 2006 as a member server with a few shares for users. The PDC seems OK and I've added the member using the instructions in the Samba example documents and I'm at the following point: OpenLDAP is running on the PDC itself. I can login to Linux as any LDAP user account suggesting that NSS

Goal: Have Samba operate as a PDC using LDAP as its passwd backend. Be able to have W2K servers as member servers. Note: I have not posted any .conf files, because I not sure what files would be relavent in seeing. Since somethings are working and somethings are not. Software list: Samba 3.0.12 nss_ldap-1.204_5 openldap-client-2.2.19 openldap-server-2.2.23 p5-perl-ldap-0.32.02 pam_ldap-1.7.6

Hi, I found your posting below... I am in a very similar situation and just want to understand what this means a little better. I have compiled openldap and samba on a netbsd box... Not sure if your aware, but nsswitch on netbsd is not modular, and ldap is not an option for the name service backend. (freebsd and linux are not options since its not an x86 box I'm using) Anyway, my ldap

Hi there. This is my first post to this list, I hope I can help you in the future. By now, I'm the one who needs help :) I've been trying to configure a Fedora Core 4 box to use samba + LDAP. I followed instructions of http://www.idealx.org/prj/samba/smbldap-howto.en.html but it seems like I'm having problems on the pam_ldap layer: when I go to step 4.5

I keep getting the following errors when I try to log on to my domain or access a share (some how I have no clue I was able to get one computer to access the samba domain). It is a standalone PDC, ldap on the same computer. This problem has been killing me for about a week, any help would be greatly appreciated I'm running samba 3.0.9 on redhat 9 stock ldap server that comes with redhat

Hi. I'm trying to setup an OpenLDAP server on MandrakeLinux 8.2 for use with Samba. To accomplish this, I'm using the idealx Samba LDAP howto. It says to use "authconfig" to setup the system to use pam_ldap, nss_ldap and nscd. I don't have Red Hat and thus don't have authconfig. Translated to config files, what does authconfig do? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- How to

Ok, I've been literally throwing things in my effort to fix this. Please help me from damaging something valueable! :) I've installed Samba 3.0.22 and OpenLDAP etc. I've used the IDEALX scripts to create the LDAP tree etc. Everything goes swimmingly until I try to check and see if NSS/PAM is working right. I use the following command as shown in SBE to check NSS/PAM working. getent

Hello, I'm trying to configure Samba to work with SuSE 9.1. I followed The Linux Samba-OpenLDAP Howto (Revision: 1.6 ) from http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html - but I'm stuck - in SuSE there is no /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Should I just add this file (I doubt it), or put these values into another files (which ones)? auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so auth

Hi All, Hope someone here can help me ? *See end for background and system information... I'm looking for advice or links to clear documentation on the use and configuration of "net vampire" and it's ability to download PDC accounts with passwords intact. I have successfully used "net vampire" to synchronize my Samba BDC -- with my companies PDC. I've switched

Hi, I have searched all over and I am at a deep loss. I have Openldap setup and it works fine holding users and is searchable, etc. I have samba setup to auth via LDAP and it works. I can NOT for the life of me get system password stuff to work. The strange thing is, that my "testuser" can telnet to the computer and login and can login with samba fine. I can not ssh into the

Hi Guys Thanks a lot this has helped me greatly.

Hi all, I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandrake 10.2 (LE2005) and have mounted the shares on an NT4 server to rsync the files over to the Samba box. The only thing is that Linux sees the dual Xeons in the server as four CPUs and the first core on CPU1 hits 100% while the files are copying over. Every so often, CPU1, core 2 takes over (at 100%) for a short period and then core 1 goes back to

Hi all, For the last fortnight I've had a Samba PDC running OpenLDAP 2.3.6 and Samba 3.0.20 running without problem on a 700 user network. Today however, we were setting up mandatory profiles when the whole thing ground to halt. I suspect hardware failure and plan to work tonight to restore the network for the morning. I backed up the LDAP database using Slapcat > backup.ldif and have

Hi all, another French guy learning, don't bash me too hard... ;-) In fact, I'm in need of a confirmation : I'm on the way to create a Samba3+LDAP (new schemas) PDC server (no migration from NT4 nor 2K, only from an old Samba 2.0 with security=user using /etc/passwd, ie. no encrypt password). This Samba3 should be hosted on a FreeBSD 4.8 (ie. pam_ldap can work, I tested it today, but

Hi guys, Can anyone comment on my setup steps? I follow instructions from many Howto's website,the below steps worked well until yesterday. It suddenly refused WindowsXp machine to join domain by giving the error "The following error occurs....Access denied" CENTOS 5.1 + fedora-ds-dsgw-1.1.1-1.fc6 + samba-client-3.0.25b-0.el5.4 fedora-idm-console-1.1.1-1.fc6

Hi all! I am having some trouble with the above equation. Firstly: Samba == samba-2.2.8 LDAP == openldap21-2.1.12 pam_ldap-1.6.1 FreeBSD == FreeBSD 5.0 HOWTO == http://samba.idealx.org I have been following the HOWTO at samba.idealx.org, and so far I've found it extremely informative for someone who wants to get LDAP up and running with Samba, and who has never used LDAP before.

1. yes, I tried these lines and in the logs, there was a failure in response 3 "match no". When I manually ran smbldaa-passwd.pl in xterm, I saw that there's never a "successfully" meesage when the password is changed with success, I looked the code (luckily it's Perl ;o)), and I didn't see any "print "succes"" or "print "password
