similar to: NT/UNIX username mapping possible directly via tdbsam?

Hello people! I'd like to know about a practical guide which helps to migrate users from a perfect working Samba PDC running with tdbsam backend to a new backend to LDAP. Does "pdbedit -i xxx -e xxx" make all the job? My network is growing and I need a directory service to help find people so I'd like to see a LDAP server running well with Samba without rebuild my user

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

All users whose "logon script" values have not been explicitly defined automagically inherit the value that "logon script" is set to in smb.conf. And one can change the "logon script" for all such users simply by changing said value in smb.conf. However, once a logon script value value has been explicitly defined for a user this inheritance ability (as the explicit

Hi All, I just added three users to my tdbsam with "pdbedit -a -u username" (had to do "useradd" first). All three appeared in tdbsam as they should, as verified with "pdbedit -L". But, all three also appeared in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. This is not a mistake, they were not there before. Are "tdbsam" and "smbpasswd" linked? I am confused.

I have a new PDC ready to replace an older one (which is using LDAP locally). The new one will be using tdbsam. I plan to first change LDAP on the existing system to the tdbsam backend and ensure proper functioning. I understand I can use the pdbedit tool to make this change. Comments? At this point I would like to ask how profiles (which will be stored locally on the clients) will be

Dumb question time; I can't find the answer in the Samba-3 or HOWTO docs: how do you add users to the passdb.tdb (tdbsam's db)? Is pdbedit the only way? I ask because the Chapt 3 Samba-3 example has passdb = tdbsam in the samba config file, but the instructions for adding users are to use useradd and smbpasswd, which leave passdb.tdb empty (except for root--I have no idea how that

As some of you may know, I'm trying to set up Samba BDC on a disk- and fan-less tiny mipsel_CPU router running OpenWRT distribution. I already managed to compile Samba 3.0.21a and OpenLDAP 2.3.18 for it, and they seem to work fine. The problem is, this tiny distribution for routers doesn't seem to have anything like Name Service Switch (NSS), and relies solely on /etc/passwd and

System: Sid ; Samba 3.0.0 ; using tdbsam ; no problems Goal: Would like to move password, group, and user data to ldap backend. Problem: I've read Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and don't see exactly how to do this as the Howto addresses primarily the password backend. What I've done so far: 1) Created the openldap bdb and the dc=domain,dc=com base and the admin with password. 2) Run

I need to migrate from samba w/LDAP 2.2.8a to 3.0.1pre3 with tdbsam. Any suggestions how to keep from having to change all the profiles? I have read through chapter 30 of the HOWTO but it assumes keeping the same backend. I need support to munge_dial and that is not available without mysql or tdbsam.... Thanks in advance for your help. Sean

Hi, I am using samba 3.0.10 on Debian and have had my users in tdbsam backend untill now. They have had the ability to change their unix password along with samba password and besides that I was able to apply some PAM restrictions to the users password strength via pam_cracklib.so library. I have now moved the users into ldap and auth works ok, but I cannot change users password and still have

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Running Samba 3.x with tdbsam. Its a small nework of 4 Windwos XP machines. Having a little trouble adding the machines to the domain. pdbedit shows duplication machines names and such. Since its such a small number of machines, want to just start over with a fresh tdbsam as it seems faster then trying to clean it up. Can we just delete the existing tdbsam? Stop and restart Samba and

I find Linux to be a nightmare if usernames have capital letters. Some old Windows PDCs that we are vampiring have usernames with capital letters. AFAIK you can't change a windows username Is there a way of telling the vampire to make all usernames lowercase as it imports them? Can I use pdbedit or any other tool to make them lowercase? At the moment I am changing /etc/passwd and the

Hi list. We're running a Debian Etch Server with Samba 3.0.24 as primary domain controller for a XP dominated network. For various reasons, we're migrating our server to a new machine running on Centos 5.4 (and Samba 3.0.33). Additionally, I decided to get rid of our messy LDAP setup, as it is quite a pain to use and IMHO overkill for our small software shop (~15 machines / users),

I currently have a pure samba domain running off a Suse 9.1 machine. When I installed this domain I wasn't really comfortable with linux or LDAP so I used a tdbsam password file, and as there are only 30 or so users it seemed the way to go in the small amount of time I had available. Well, now I want to add a BDC to the mix I find I need to move to an LDAP backend. I only have two boxes at

Hello I've set up a Samba server as a PDC using a tdbsam backend. I first tried to access the shares with the usernames/passwords of the domain users I created, everything was OK (well almost, I'll post another one on this). Then I tried to join the domain with a PC and had errors "account not found", or something like that. This was on Windows XP SP2. I tried to mount a

We just migrated a small network from a Win2K PDC to Samba, using "net rpc vampire" into a tdbsam backend on a Samba 3.0.2a Linux box. One of the users, let's call him Jon Harker, had the NT username "JHarker". When we ran "pdbedit -v jharker", we saw this: Unix username: JHarker NT username: JHarker Well, that looks wrong - the NT

Dear List, I''m thinking about using xen productive in our datacenter, i''m still testing around with it. Now I got some questions, just for basic understanding, we got for example this environment: 2 Nodes 1 SCSI Pool server (Connected via scsi to both nodes) Now I want to build a "cluster" so i would like to make this: Node 1 -> Primary -| | --> domU
