similar to: Upgraded from 3.0.9 -> 3.0.21b - Now adding machines a problem

Yes, I had a similar problem when I upgraded from 3.0.9 -> 3.0.21b. After upgrading I could not add machines. It would find the PDC and then prompt me for a user/password, I would enter it and I got user not found error message. If I typed the password incorrect then I would get Username/Password incorrect error message. My logs showed that I was authenticating OK. So only thing I could think

I'm having problems using smbldap-tools 0.8.2 from idealix, I'm using the following entry in my smb.conf file: add machine script = smbldap-useradd.pl -w -g 553 %u Then, while I try to add a workstation to my domain, the script adds a posixAccount, and then I get this error: ------ [2004/01/14 18:15:49, 1] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_modify_entry(1173) ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to

St?phane, The book "Samba-3 by Example" is being reprinted very soon. Up to date builds of the PDF are available on the Samba web site daily. This document can be downloaded from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf In chapter 5 I have fully documented how Samba-3 can be deployed with LDAP and using the smbldap-tools. It works perfectly for me and in many sites that

Hi, I've reported this before but I guess I'll have to do it again, since it's not fixed yet or I'm understanding something wrong here. The problem is that smbldap-useradd -w 'machinename' will add only posixAccount entrys into ldap but it should add both posixAccount and sambaSAMAccount entrys. So if one doesn't add correct machine account entrys manually to ldap

Hi All, I am current working on Samba + LDAP PDC in RHEL-4. I some problem when doing the smbldap-useradd -w command. When I have a WinXP box try to join the PDC, smbldap-useradd -w "%u" will add a workstation account to the LDAP tree with all POSIX attribute but without all the SambaSAMAccount attribute. So, the WinXP box can find it's workstation account and wouldn't

Hi. When I tried to setup my LDAP I used the smbldap-tools from idealx. I discovered some errors which made the tools unusable for me. Here's a fix for the bugs I discovered: a) I decided to use a suffix in the LDAP which contains spaces, ie. I used something like "o=My Org,c=DE". Because the suffix wasn't quoted in the various calls in the tools, this didn't work. b) It

Hi Samba People ! I'm experiencing some issues with the smbldap-tools suite and post it here in hope someone could give me some help. I want first to thank you if you take teh time to read my message til the end, as it's a little bit long ;) We do have a Debian Box on our LAN we use primarily as a File Server. This server has initially been setup with Etch (4.0, net-install). I've

Hi there, I've been going through the samba 3 by example book and have now successfully replaced my NT 4 PDC with a Linux machine running samba and an LDAP backend. Beautiful. However, I've run into a slight problem. When I try and add a new XP pro machine to my domain, I get the following message: A domain controller for the domain TEST could not be contacted. After doing some

Hi, In smbldap-useradd.pl is a pice of code, which find the first unused uid starting from $UID_START (for example 1000). if (!defined($userUidNumber)) { # find first unused uid starting from $UID_START while (defined(getpwuid($UID_START))) { $UID_START++; } I've over 500 UID's in use (maximum UID is 1547). It works well, until you delete an user. After deleting an user,

Hi All, The smbldap-tools in latest Samba tarball 3.0.1 use SambaSAMAccount rather than SambaSamAccount as per the samba.schema file. Attached are four patches to fix this.

After further review, I don't believe this is the proper approach to the problem. It seems to me that the %u is being used ambiguously. The logic of how the published API of the variables and the call to the smbldap-useradd program makes it important for the documenters to understand what the tools are doing... not what is happening in samba. We can see what is happening with the tools by

Anybody know whats wrong when the commands smbldap-useradd or populate work fine with ldap but cant create unix/linux accounts ???? Pelase Help.

Robert, First off, the Samba Technical mailing list is not a help facility. Its purpose is purely for discussion of samba design and code implementation issues. Please confine your email to the normal Samba list. There are several avenues for Samba support: 1.
