similar to: Samba + ldap, acounts expiring? but pdbedit says otherwise

I've had samba in production for a few weeks, as follows: samba 3.0.20b openldap 2.2.13-4, idealx tools 0.9.1 red hat AS 4 clients: all XP sp2 Samba's the PDC, nothing fancy about the setup other than trying to use LDAP for authentication. So far everything's been mostly fine, then yesterday for some reason a number of my users couldn't authenticate after logging out or

After reading through the Samba 2.2 PDC Howto, I have a couple questions: 1) In Chapter 3. User and Machine Accounts: Is this section out of date? If so, what is the status of machine and user accounts? Do we still need to follow the instructions here for "add user script" entries, etc? 2) In the old (Sept. version) of samba-tng, there was an option to specify "local"

What the password is, is in the output on you screen, if not, then script it. kinit Administrator # function random password. RANDOMPASSWD(){ < /dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c${1:-16};echo; } # Pull a random into USERPASS USERPASS="$(RANDOMPASSWD)" # And create your user. sudo samba-tool user create "$USERNAME" --given-name="$GIVENNAME"

Dear all, As far as I understand, the number of arguments in methods:::cbind is limited by the "self recursive" construction of the function which generates nested loops. A workaround could be to use the internal cbind function on blocks of non S4 objects. The limitation would then be reduced to the number of consecutive S4 objects. ##### R code ##### dfr <- data.frame(matrix(0,

Hi everyone, I am using Samba 4.5.16-Debian on Raspbian and thanks to the help offered by everyone here I now finally have a mostly-working Active Directory network. I am now at the stage of creating inidividual user accounts for my domain and unfortunately I have a very basic but fundamental problem! I currently enter the following input at the command-line to create a new user on my DC: pi

We have 30 or so boxes that are currently running either redhat as3 or as4 and would like to migrate them to Centos 4.2. We have a local centos 4.2 repository using yam. I have in the past updated es3 to as3 by removing the redhat-release rpm and installing the other redhat rpm. I realize there are virtually no differences in es and as3, except for access to additional packages. In any

After moving from Redhat AS4 to RHEL 5.5 we started noticing these error messages in the messages log. Upgrade procedure was to build new machine with updated OS, install new samba, duplicate existing ldap server connections, and then shutdown the old box and put new one in place. Messages were not seen on AS4 box and smb.conf file is identical on new box. I am wondering if there was a change

Samba version 3.0.9 on Red Hat 9.0 workstations: NT 4.0 SP6 When I took over this project, there were two domains connected by a VPN. For reasons that I'm unable to understand, some new users wound up with the intended domain of SATA and some wound up in SATB (even though they joined the SATA domain. Recently, all kinds of problems have materialized and the only thing I can find wrong is

You think Microsoft's mailing lists and forums are better? Just wait (and wait, and and ...). Oh, that's right, you can call Microsft for help ,,, and shell out $295 per.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After a failed migrate from NT4 to Samba 3.0 using the rpc vampire method I decided I'd do it manually with 'net rpc samdump'. Well it sort of worked, except I can't edit any of the users settings, it might just be me, but it should modify the profile to that, just as a test but it doesn't. I'd actually like to get rid of the

I have am hitting a wall with pdbedit, as shown below. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. I am encountering the inability to change any users (profile) SID on Samba 3.x for Linux and BSD, which causes the accounts to no longer recognize their local Samba 2 profiles once they join Samba 3 domain. If I add a new user and pdbedit -a user -U SID it ignores the -U. The old profiles appear

I''m experimenting with xen + iscsi, and I founded that under heavy stress domU''s can crash entire system, I''ve reproduced this many many times. My system is like this Software: - iSCSI Enterprise Target v0.4.13 - RedHat AS4 update 4 64bit + Xen 3.0.3-0 Kernel 2.6.16.29 + Open iSCSI v2.0.730 (Initiator) - Bonnie++ v1.03a VM: - Debian 3.1r3 + Open iSCSI v2.0.730

Dear All, I use Vista sync tool for synchronization Vista between samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.2 on RHEL AS4. There is some problem on files to copy samba home sharing. But if target directory is being Windows sharing does not happen the below problem. Vista error screen says below messages; These items are in conflict and did not sync ~wrd0000.tmp A file was deleted on this computer and changed on the

Greetings, I am running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9 installed from rpm on CentOS 4.4. I have it configured as a PDC. It is using the /passdb backend = tdbsam/ backend. I am using /pdbedit/ to make some configuration changes to user passwords. I would like to expire a users password, so that they are required to change it the next time they log in. From all that I have read in on-line resources

You really meant 300 _M_bps as the upper bound according to Enterasys. My switches are from Enterasys too. After a firmware updates I get about 722 Mbps both ways. The client's disk drive (Maxtor 250 GB) can't read or write faster. If you don't get transfer rates in the immediate neighbourhood of the read/write speeds of your client's disk drives, then your network setup (hardware

Does anyone have any experience with Emulex HBA cards (LP10000) using OCFS2, Linux AS4 U4 x86_64 AMD? I'm trying to find out whether this is a verified combination, if anyone has successfully used it. I have that hardware/sofware combination, and am experiencing stability/performance/panic/hang issues with OCFS2. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I am hoping that someone with more experience and knowledge than I can assist me in finding a solution ;) We have a RedHat AS4 box with 5 interfaces. Two interfaces serve two different networks and two interfaces connect to two different uplinks. The fifth interface is our management interface. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I attempted to come up with a diagram:

Environment: Dovecot 1.0beta8 Host: 64 bit Red Hat AS4 Linux (2.6.9-34.0.1) Disks: NFS netapp In the case below, the two connections were going through two separate servers sharing disks via an NFS NetApp. Here is the sequence of operations: 1. Open a connection to a folder (say mail/Trash) 2. Open a connection to another folder (say Inbox) 3. Move messages from Inbox to Trash using this

Yep, I know there's documentation out there. I don't want to integrate into AD, I have a SAMBA server running the latest and greatest that comes with Redhat AS4 (Samba 3.0.10-1.4E). All I want to do is to be able to authenticate against an existing LDAP server. The LDAP server is running iPlanet (or whatever it's called this week), on a solaris box. I am able to authenticate via LDAP

Hi I've upgraded my OS from Redhat AS2.1 to Redhat AS4. The samba upgraded from samba-2.2.7-3.21as to samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9. I use this only to see the Linux filesystem as a drive on my PC. The problem is that I cannot rename a file. Put, Get and Copy works fine. The error I get (after about 30 sec) is any of the following (no specific pattern): "Cannot rename filename:
