similar to: Samba LDAP Tools and mkntpwd

Since I manage the rest (unix side) of my ldap directory using Net::LDAP I was wondering if there are any perl modules/code out there to manipulate/calculate.... the Samba password attributes and the SID stuff? If no one comes forth I guess I will look at the code for smbpasswd and do it myself, but I would hate to re-invent the wheel. Jeff Saxton Sr. Support Engineer Addamark Technologies,

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

I posted this earlier, but never saw it show up in the mailing list so I'm posting it again. I have a Samba 3.0 PDC using LDAP as it's password database backend, but I can't get a user to log on to a Win2k machine on the domain. In the log file for the PC (on the Samba machine), I see that the user is found in the LDAP backend but that getpwnam failed. The username does not

I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort! I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved away from NT 4: Password Expiration. In the past I have posted questions about this on the list and I've gotten two answers: "Wait for

I remain unclear regarding Samba and LDAP. It appears that mkntpwd is required to generate a viable sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword attribute values. But I believe I read that the current incarnation of smbpasswd can accomplish this. Lastly, when utilzing phpLDAPadmin, do the NT and LM password fields contain the values generated by mkntpwd? -- Raymond

I have a Samba 2.2.7a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend) that seems to be giving me trouble. Here's the scoop: I have Windows 2000 Pro clients running Word 2000. Over the past several days, a lot of them have had trouble with their documents - most of the time during a save. The most critical of these failures presents the following error message when saving: "Word has lost data due to a

Hi list, i want to install the smbldap-tools package on SLES 8. I get this error message: error: failed dependencies: perl(Crypt::SmbHash) is needed by smbldap-tools-0.9.1-1 perl(Digest::MD5) is needed by smbldap-tools-0.9.1-1 perl(Digest::SHA1) is needed by smbldap-tools-0.9.1-1 perl(Exporter) is needed by smbldap-tools-0.9.1-1

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

Hello. I have a LDAP database with user data. For that I use posixAccout schema. Now I installed Samba 3, and want to use it as a file server ( and wins server for network browsing of course ). after I added samba.schema to my LDAP database, LDAP wont start anymore.. then I saw that Samba needs SID in its schema. My question now is - what number should I enter for SID?? I don't use

Hi All: Stuff I'm using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Samba 2.2.7 OpenLDAP 2.0.25 I followed the Idealx.org howto to build Samba+LDAP. I have a functioning, replicating domain on my lab workbench right now. Then I began to explore permissions on local shares, etc. when I discovered that to a Windows client, the only domain groups that are available from a Samba PDC are "Domain

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

Hi all, I'm new to this ML. I'm trying to get a Samba PDC serving WIN XP Pro using LDAP backend. my LAN contains linux and windowz clients. I started by configuring LDAP for central authentication to linux clients: it works out of the box. now I'm tryint o get samba acting as a PDC for win clients. Questions : 1- do I must create idmap entries ? how ? 2- using smbclient only

I was pointed to: http://web.vcs.u52.k12.me.us/linux/smbldap/ As an effective script to get samba/ldap configured for a PDC. It is written for Fedora 3 core or the K12LTSP distro. of course I discovered this after installing the Centos distro. Now it is decision time: stay with Centos and get this working or move the the K12 distro. This setup is for the small business network in my basement

Hi, all there, first of all I like to introduce me cause this is my first post on this list: I am a networkadmin from Germany, struggling with Apple, Linux and Windows for a couple of years now ... I have occassionally worked with samba as a domain controller for three or four years now, but with systems windows 2000 / windows 2003 server / windows XP clients. I have successfully installed

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

Hi, I'm trying to use the samba cvs service to keep up with the NT Domain Stuff, my problem is that the smbdes.c that I receive is mangled (looks like the diffs has lost sync somehow, since some lines are duplicated, and others have mismatched parenthesises). Here is the diff I get between the current cvs version and alpha12. --- alpha12/source/smbdes.c Mon Oct 27 18:15:44 1997 +++
