similar to: problem with administrator accounts

I have the exact same problem as this guy: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-September/125699.html He describes it much better and in much more detail than I could, so I'll let him speak for me. Unfortunately, I don't have the same solution. nss_ldap is configured properly, and things like 'getent passwd' and 'id machine-acct$' show the machine accounts as

I'm trying to troubleshoot a nasty problem with Samba 2.2.8a that I asked about here a while back, and I need someone with a working LDAP-Samba PDC -- preferably 2.2.8a, ideally running on Mac OS X, but I'll take what I can get -- to post the results of an ldapsearch for one of their machine trust accounts. All I'd need is the results of a command along these lines: ldapsearch -LLL

I'm trying to get Samba on a Mac OS X box running as a PDC with an LDAP backend. I've read through all of the major walkthroughs I can find, and we've actually already got it running very nicely as a file server; people are currently authenticating against a different PDC and then mapping drives from the Samba box in question. However, I'd like it to be the PDC eventually, but

Samba 3.0.21c, RHEL4. About a week ago, we restarted our Samba server because nmbd had run amok. Since that restart, our Apple clients have periodically disconnected -- by most reports, they disconnect every 15-45 minutes. It doesn't appear to be synchronized, i.e., every Mac on campus doesn't disconnect at once, but only occasionally. They get a message similar to: "A server you

A few computers -- two or three -- are very spotty about letting people log on. It seems -- and this could be off-base -- that they'll let anyone log on once, but will require a reboot before you can log on again. Sometimes, logging on works fine, though. There really appears to be little rhyme or reason to what happens. In the Samba logs, I'm getting: [2006/10/20 08:08:14, 0]

I had a problem similar to my current one a week or so ago, and I was encouraged to upgrade from Samba 2.2.9 to 3.0.7, which I did. Now that I've completed that nightmare, the problem I initially set out to fix is still there, just different. Namely: I am trying to set up Samba 3.0.7 on a SuSE 9.1 box as an LDAP PDC whose only job will be authentication. Our LDAP server is on a separate

This is an immensely frustrating problem. I try to logon to my Samba 3.0.11 PDC running on SuSE, and the Samba logs report that it all went swimmingly: [2005/06/02 16:34:45, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(305) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [stpierre] -> [stpierre] -> [stpierre] succeeded So w00t, right. But no! Windows rejects my login with a "bad

I recently have upgraded from Samba 2.2.8 to 3.0.7. I am using LDAP as a backend, but I'm running into a problem. Namely, since my user entries have no sambaSID attribute, Samba decides they don't exist. (At least, that's how it looks in the logs, included below.) I've looked through the conversion script that's included with Samba 3, but it just uses the rid attribute,

I've been using Samba with OpenLDAP with great success on normal servers. Recently however, it appeared to us that for remote locations it is more economically viable to replace Samba servers with Samba running on little routers like ASUS WL-500g with openwrt firmware/software. It has a broadcom/mipsel CPU, and thanks to openwrt (http://openwrt.org), it is possible to run lots of software

We've just gone live with a file & print server, and are having major problems with Samba. When used out of hours, with all PCs switched on and connected to the domain, everything works fine. However, during the day, we have problems where users can't print to any samba-hosted printer, Access database applications (where the database is held on the server) won't work, or work

I've got a Windows XP box that's unable to join my Samba (3.0.20) domain. We've got about 400 other computers, mostly WinXP, that have joined the domain quite successfully. I'm not sure when the most recent one joined, though, but I'm reasonably sure nothing has changed since then. The Samba log gives the following when I try to the computer to the domain: [2006/02/28

When a user tries logging in and enters the wrong password a few times in a row, their account becomes disabled. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? I couldn't find anything in the smb.conf man page about it. Alternatively, could we use a preexec script to just re-enable all accounts when there's a logon attempt? Or does that script only get executed after a user is authenticated?

Hi all:I found some great demonstrations of interactive presentation graphics generated in R with the SVGAnnotation package, here:http://www.omegahat.org/SVGAnnotation/http://www.omegahat.org/SVGAnnotation/SVGAnnotationPaper/SVGAnnotationPaper.htmlI tried to install the package available at that website (it's not on CRAN) and am getting some pretty uninformative errors (see below). My best

Dear Experts, "this is system from the hell!" Than was my first reaction when I realized that logged in with GUI (X11) user can turn off (and on) network interfaces. Without being in sudoers file. Wow, this is scary to see on workstations I manage centrally. Even though I did consider local user to be able to execute the command "shutdown" (which distinguished RedHat and

I've got a file server running both Samba and Netatalk ([OT] which are two programs that dearly need to be rolled into one). I've *tried* to configure it to minimize problems between the two, but I've run into a problem where users can't delete folders that contain, e.g., .AppleDouble folders in them. When I try from smbclient, I get: NT_STATUS_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY removing

I am trying to set up Samba 2.2.9 on a SuSE 9.1 box as an LDAP PDC whose only job will be authentication. Our LDAP server is on a separate box. I can join the domain just fine, but when I try to login via Windows, I get the following error: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account

Hi folks, Just yesterday, my Samba installation on OpenSlug suddenly stopped working, out of the blue. Now, users on my WinXP SP2 systems cannot under any circumstances log in to the domain. Local Windows users however can map shares with no problem. When a domain user attempts to log on to a domain member PC (joining the domain works fine, by the way), they are denied with the generic Windows

Hi List, I am a newbie, just came to know about asterisk a few days back while installing suse 9.2. I have a question for which I am sorry to say,but I havntread through all the archives, but AFAIK i didnt get the answer in the archives. My question is like this. I am in Nebraska, US. I have broadband cable connection at my home. And I have friend and family in other country. Using asterisk

Having successfully upgraded ssh from 3.7.p2 to 3.8p1 on a number of AIX 5.1 platforms I now notice that it is logging connections using UTC time? Has anyone else seen this?
