Hi, I have been trying to join a Samba Domain member server to the AD and use LDAP for IDMAP storage. I have run into many strange issues and I was hoping someone can please take time to clarify things for me. I have read quite a bit (I own both the Samba books by Terpstra) and done a lot of Google searching. I think part of my problem is the unusual setup I have, as all the examples in the

I'm trying to do something fairly simple: login to a Linux box using a Windows AD-based account. I've followed the various recipes available online for configuring Linux (winbind, PAM, etc.) to this send, and I've got it working ... almost. I'm able to authenticate an AD-based user immediately after bringing up the Linux box, but a short time later (roughly 5 minutes, but it

This might be a stupid question, but I ask only because I can't think of a good reason... Why do so many vendors' builds of Samba not include libnss_wins, the WINS/NetBIOS name resolution library? I find that it is very helpful for my Linux/Samba servers to be able to resolve hostnames by WINS. It also seems to improve domain browsing performance dramatically to have the library present

Hello, I am having a small issue with LDAP, and I hope someone here might be able to provide a few tips.

Hi everybody, This may be a stupid question, but I really don't get it. When I restart my Linux box (occasionnaly / rarely), samba is not working from my Windows station. I can't connect to the samba drive. If I do /etc/init.d/smb restart, it doesn't work either. After many unsuccessfull problem determination, I found that there is two ways to correct this: 1- kill smbd -D process

I am looking for some solution, working with Samba preferably, which would allow multiple users to work on one document. This means that if a user makes a change to the document, a previous version of that document is saved somewhere else. For example, user A opens a document (rw - read/write, ro - read-only document): rw \\server\share\document.txt User makes some changes, and saves it 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

I am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

I am installing smb 3.5 on a CentOS 6.2 host using smbldap-tools. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4 using smb 3.0 but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations cannot be moved straight across. When I do a listing of a share directory that should have user and group ownership determined by LDAP, I get the uidNumbers and

Hi all, I'm back with more data on a problem Iposted about one month ago. To sum it up, my Solaris 10 box has local accounts as well as LDAP ones via PAM. They work well as-is, with no special configuratio, for WU IMAP (using the ?other? entry in pam.conf. When I tried a self-built Dovecot, all accounts were authenticated without problem. Then I tried the Blastwave version, same release,
