Is there a way to enable user to change password on first signon?

We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc. We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those

Hello, I'm migrating from Windows 2003 Active Directory to a Samba 3 PDC and would like to avoid recreating passwords for all of my users. Is it possible to copy the Windows user accounts or just the passwords from the Windows box to Samba? I've read about the pwdump.exe tool, but can't find any reports of it working on Windows 2003 and am not sure if Active Directory stores

Hi I have a RH7.2 server with 3 x LPT ports I have installed the following printers using the GUI printconfig Lp0 = HP1200 Lp1 = OKI320 Lp2 = OKI321 I have shared them via samba I can browse them using WinXP & Win2K by browsing the Linux box, looking at the printers and double clicking to open them, all is OK you would say, No. I have checked permissions on the /var/lpd directories and

Hi, I got samba 3.0.26a on my Fedora 7, and when i try to add users with smbpasswd -a username, it only works if the user exists as a linux user... i got a Centos 4.4 system with samba 3.0.10 and it works even if the user doesn't exists on the system. Can anyone explain me why this happens? is it from this new version (3.0.26a) or may be a problem of Fedora 7?

I'm setting up a new domain with Samba 3.0.30 as the PDC using the tdbsam backend. 'net group' yields an empty list, which is consistent with the cautious appoach that Samba takes: don't do anything automagically. But, a new Windows PDC will come online with several well-known domain users and groups. Did I miss the step where I run some stock script that creates these expected

Hi. In few weeks I'm planning to set up a windows network over our departmental net. I need some advices, suggestions about what you would do. We're in front of a large network. I'm expecting having 50+ + computers logging in the windows domain, many different users. Servers will be just unix (linux mainly, and aix/bsd for experiments only) The underlying structure is really

Hello everyone, We are investigating migrating our Windows 2003 active directory domain to a purely Samba one. I am a relative novice to Samba. I have used it many times to do simple file and printer sharing on an individual or workgroup basis, but never in a domain environment. One of the things I need to find out how to do involves delivering Windows profiles. On our Windows network, some

Hello, We are using samba as a primary domain controller. The other day when my users tried to log on they started getting this error messae "stub recieved bad data". When I tried to join a machine to the domain I got an error message that said "the stub recieved a null reference". We have had samba up as a PDC for about 8 months with no problems until now and we haven't

Hello list, I am looking for some help with an error message that keeps showing up in our log files. I searched the archive and found this error message mentioned a few times in regards to windows xp clients and setting the smb ports = 445. We are running only windows 2000 clients and have recently begun seeing this error message in our logs lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384)

I am trying to setup unified logons to my VPN users. My goal is to get rid of chap.secrets file and use winbind to authenticate against tdbsam password backend located in the PDC (Fedora Core 1) running with Samba 3.0.21pre1. I have tried with older Samba versions without success. Using winbind should allow password changes from the Windows XP Pro -client using CTRL+ALT+DEL. Smb.conf,

i can't find licence information for the following files: http://hostopia.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf http://hostopia.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf As you see, they are two basic samba information sources, and I need to know if I can just print it and leave in computer lab for all who wish to avoid reading it from monitor. It is about 1300 pages total, so I need to make

I need help configuring Samba v3 to do file sharing with Windows 2000pro and XP through SWAT. I've listed my user groups in the read, write, and valid fields of my share's parameters page. My security level is set to USER, and read-only option is set to NO. From any Windows workstation I am able to successfully map a drive to the Samba share; however, I can not write to it ("Access

I am running Samba version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE. I am a bit new to samba. I am running Samba version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE with unix users as samba users (no AD).

Hi List, It is simply not possible to create users and machines in an OU other than "ou=people,<ldab_base_dn>" Even when I change this in smb.conf, smbpasswd -a <user> or -a -m <machine> always fails with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER. Is this a desired behaviour? Has anyone else created machine/user accounts in a different container? Thank you and best regards Ralf

My goal is to have a business with multiple locations, all have the same desktop for a certain user group. The quick Launch programs, Start Menu and Desktop icons should all be the same, and be 'read only' -- meaning they can't change them. I'm using ClearOS for the PDC, and I have it working already as the PDC, but I'm not quite sure how to setup the remote profiles and lock
