I have an OpenLDAP backend, Samba knows how to talk to it, my Samba users are stored in LDAP and file shares work fine authenticating to the LDAP server. I tried executing smbldap-useradd -w server02 on the command-line and got the following error: failed to perform search; Can't contact LDAP server at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/smbldap_tools.pm line 362, <DATA> line 283.

Hello all, I have been working on this issue for some time and I know I am close to a solution. I am currently running samba 3.0.13. I have set the samba server up as a NT4 Domain controller and I have also integrated my LDAP configuration with samba.

I am trying to setup a FC-4 box to be a PDC for a small network of about 150 users. I was following the HOWTO on the SAMBA site. Everything seems to be fine however I cannot join the domain.

Dear all, I am using Samba 3.0.20-4 SUSE. When a user (under Windows) modifies an Excel or Word file, he/she becomes the owner of that file !!! I have read that this is because Excel & Word delete the original file and recreate a new one with the modifications. But I didn't find a solution to prevent this. Thank you in advance for your reply. Ivan Tadic Brussels, Belgium

I am having trouble with getting my Homes section to work properly. When I browse to the server from a Windows client, I can see my home directory. However, when I try to access it, it challenges me for a userID and password. No matter what I enter, I will not allow me access. Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this? Here are the errors... [2006/03/27 11:19:22, 0]

Hello, I reeeeally need someone's help here.

Everyone, I have configured a new SLES 10 server exactly the same as I had previously configured a SLES 9 server. The only difference is the version of samba. On the SLES 10 server, I am running the 3.0.23c level, the SLES 9 server is behind a little. My problem is with connecting to other AD domains. Only my default domain has a valid sequence number. All the other domains are

When I attempt to authenticate a user from another domain, I am seeing some strange issues. My winbindd.log shows that I am indeed already trusting the other domain. (I am a member of the na.uis.unisys.com domain.) However, when I try to gain access to a share where the username EU\INBLR-AUTH1 has access, I get prompted for a username and password over and over. Obviously, it can't

hello in a previous post, i was describing the behaviour with samba 3.0.21rc1 (winbind in particular) : - We have a single AD forest, whith different domains, A & B. - The group, in domain A, we use for our authentication process contains user from the 2 domains A & B. While using wbinfo, i cannot succeed to get a positive answer when i ask if a user from domain B belongs or not to the

List, I'm having trouble accessing shares, and I'm getting conflicting indications on whether I've successfully joined the domain with my PC and Samba server (which may bear on the share problem). I really could use some help; I've not been able to recognize anything in the docs or via Google that helps. I'm running SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.21a, and I'm trying to

I have a problem that recently appeared with ADS authentication. I have a samba server that is an AD member on our domain, ourdomain.edu. We are under a domain that is an empty root, call it 'theirdomain.net'. Also under this root is another domain, call it 'theirdomain.edu. I have found that RPC access has been disabled on the DC's in theirdomain.edu and my samba server can no

I am seeing some extremely slow logons to my SUSE servers. All are configured exactly the same. When I attempt to log on, I can enter my domain (AD) account without any problems. I then enter my password and sit and wait for several minutes until it eventually takes me to my desktop. In attempting to debug the problem, we have been able to see millions of calls to the domain controller. They

Hello, I just rebuilt the samba server that I was working on and when I try to add the line "winbind separator = \", testparm tells me that its value must be 1 character and then displays its value as the proceeding line. If I change the value to '+', it tells me that the value might cause a problem with groups memberships. If I just leave the value at '/' then it does

Please help, I'm having this problem at my job and it really needs to get solved. I'm trying to setup samba 3.0 to be a member fileserver in my Windows 2000 active directory domain.

Hi, This may be a dumb question (I'm new with this), but is it possible to use SAMBA in combination with LDAP in a Workgroup? All the manuals and examples I can find, are talking about Domains and PDCs. I have to set up a new Samba server and checkout LDAP but I'm not allowed to change the Workgroup settings... Now we use smbpasswd... Is LDAP worth the effort and time? Kind

We have noticed a change in the way AD authentication behaves starting with 3.0.25. Ive been hoping it was a bug and someone would notice and fix it. But since its still there as of 3.0.28, I guess its a feature :-). Anyway, our users on XP machines used to be able to authenticate against AD with just a username/password eg u1234567. But as of 3.0.25 they need to use a fully qualified username eg
