Hi all, We are deploying a Linux server and desktops for a customer. We will have the users and groups in LDAP on the server, and files shared via NFS. However, one never knows if Windows desktops will be needed in the future. Is it a good idea to add users with smb-ldap even if samba is not initially used, as adding the samba attributes to an existing LDAP database is painful, and the

We're into our new server build. We have built Samba / LDAP servers before, but never a PDC. I'm not sure that this question is PDC-specific though. What is the difference between smbldap-useradd, and adding a user to the LDAP database normally e.g. with cpu useradd? Are smbldap-tools needed for new installs, or only where an existing Samba database is being migrated to LDAP? What is

Hi all, I'm trying to configure Samba as a PDC. I'm running Debian Woody, hence Samba version 3.0.0final-1. We have no Windows servers anywhere on the network (yay!). I have done an smbpasswd for root, and add machine script is setup (see attached smb.conf). From the XP Pro workstation, when I fill in the domain name, log in as root, and click ok, I eventually get: "The following

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail

Hi all, Samba 3.0.14, Debian Sarge. I've asked on IRC but didn't get a response. I am having problems dragging files to my Samba share in Windows XP, over an IPSEC VPN. The file in question is a simple small text file. I have no problem directly creating and editing a file on the share. Here's the log: [2005/09/18 21:51:05, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_with_timeout(321)

I can now login to my domain from an XP Pro client, as a normal user. Only problem is, I get this: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem

Environment is Samba as a PDC, OpenLDAP backend, with smbldap-tools providing the scripts to manipulate the data. What are the recommended/mandated organizational units (OU=) for user, computer, group info. I'm pretty sure that groups go in ou=Groups, but I am confused about where user and computer data goes. I have seen ou=People, ou=Computers, and ou=Users in various places. Which is it

Hi all, Don't know if this is related to my other problem. In my list of groups, several are mentioned more than once (Domain Users, Domain Guests, Domain Admins). Is this normal? A System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3247875428-2940378000-2436062379-513) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1 Domain Users

Hy, I just install OpenLDAP 2.0 and Samba 3.0. (both from RPM). I used tools from idealx (found in src from Samba 3.0) to populate the ldap tree. My ldap is empty when i start, i just added index and samba.schema in slapd.conf. I used net rpc getsid to generate my domain SID and put in the smbldap_conf.pm with others options (dc, ou, dn etc.) I didn't get any error with this tool, it create

A couple of days ago I decided that I needed a samba and ldap setup. After reading the samba mailing list , specifically the thread "Re: [Samba] Samba and LDAP backend - howto docs problems?" I decided to buy the Official Samba-3 HowTo and Reference guide", (the Samba-3 By Example mentioned in that thread wasn't available in my bookstore and they could't order it for me too)

Hi Everyone. I have run across an issue that is driving me crazy. This is a new deployment of Samba v3.6.5 with openldap v2.4.30 and smbldap-tools v0.9.8 When trying to join the domain, on the first attempt the machine account is properly created in the correct ou - e.g. ou=Computers,dc=domain,dc=local But the "failed to join domain" pop-up with reason of "The user name could

Hi, I'm running into weird problems after switching from tdbsam to ldapsam user backend. I have transferred all local unix and samba groups with the sambaldap-tools scripts. The 'net groupmap list' command prints all group mappings correctly, and I also can use all the groups present in LDAP for setting local file ownerships. However these groups don't appear in the windows

Hi everyone! I have (i think) a fully functional tls enabled samba ldap server. I used the documenation on www.idealx.org. I can make users and computers with smbldap-tools but i can't add Windows computers to the domain in the client end. smbldap-useradd -w w-eddie ldapsearch -x generates among other things: # w-eddie$, Computers, dbb.su.se dn:
