Samba 3.0.23d, on Debian Sarge - using the samba.org packages smbldap-tools 0.9.2 Greetings all, I am trying to set up a new PDC using LDAP, etc. Adding/deleting/modifying users in LDAP works fine using phpldapadmin. These users also work just fine logging in/out. I am trying to get the usrmgr tool to also work, so im working on the scripts on the server. I am getting this error however when

I try to admin Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1pre3 (tried both versions) NT4.0 PDC with NT4.0 machine and NT4.0 USRMGR.EXE and get persistent error message 1) The group name could not be found 2) The user name could not be found 3) The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Hello Tried to add user in user manager from domains, NT4.0 client, logged in as root on the NT client. Clicked "New User", filled in nick, description, full name, password1, password2 (was dead sure they were the same, carefully typed 9-chars long stupid passwd). The user wasn't in the database. Then clicked OK. Never managed to add user this way. Checked all the add user, del

Hi, we want to grant some users the right to change passwords and enable accounts in our samba domain but they should not have admin rights. Windos is using the group Account Operators for this. So we put some users into this group and tried to change some Usersettings with the usermanger. The user has no right to edit any user. I tried to grant a right to this group with net rpc rights but i cant

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

Hi everybody, i have discovered following problem. System suse 9.2 pdc samba 3.0.20b ldap. a system user which was in the group Domain Admins ( as secondary group of course ) , cannot be removed from the group, by usrmgr ( in real ldap the user gets deleted ! ) If the user account gets deleted completly and recreated it is shown again in the domain admins group.( which isnt so in ldap ) This

I currently have samba version 3.0.23 installed using ldap as the backend. I am experiencing the same problems as Holger Wesser mentioned in his posting "USRMGR.exe not working properly". However, it appears that the fix of creating the group mappings does not work. They appear to be mapped correctly on my setup. My net groupmap list is: Domain Admins

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

Hello Is here anyone who is able to help me with Samba's problem.

I'm having problems adding users with usrmgr. I can run the scripts from my smb.conf fine from command line and do what I need to. But, when adding users with usrmgr, the login script and path statements are not identified and I have to go in and edit them manually. Does adding a user with usrmgr not use the add user script from Samba? Or must the user environment variables be added

Hello: I have set up samba PDC using samba 3.0.11. When I use the usrmgr.exe tool on NT4 machine to add user to the domain, it prompts and says: "The following error occurred changeing properties of the user mary: fail find the group" (The error msg actually appears as Chinese in my computer, I just translate the error message). Then I check with the samba log file and it said: group

Hi Samba users, First I can't open/create local group with usrmgr. Second creating global group and user is working, [third] but adding users to this [global] group failed..
