similar to: Samba + LDAP Windows Join Domain

Hi all! I am from the Windows world and am trying to migrate to Linux and have done a fairly good job so far. My recent challenge is that I have built a Samba file/print server that works very well on my internal network but when I VPN into the network remotely I am unable to access the server via it's server name. What is driving me crazy is the fact that the last of my Windows

Guys and dolls, Greetings, I hope you all are in good health, great spirits and your glasses never empty. I have a samba, openldap question. 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. I get the error "User name could not be found." The

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.

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

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. I followed the instruction on this website: http://www.linux-sxs.org/networking/nt4dom_samba.html#win_sysreq net RPC join -W <domain> -U <domain user> works wbinfo -t works wbinfo -G works

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

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

I have the following environment # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.8 (Final) # uname -r 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 I have installed smbldap-tools from http://download.gna.org/smbldap-tools/packages/el5/smbldap-tools-0.9.8-1.el5.noarch.rpm. Configured OpenLDAP, but when I try to populate LDAP directory I got the following error messages # smbldap-populate -a Administrator -g 10000 -l 11111 -r

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hi all For several days I've been doing tests for our upcoming migration from an NT domain to Samba PDC with ldapsam. We have ~200 clients, mostly NT4 and some Win2k. We want all of our users eventually switch from Windows to KDE on Linux with thin clients through NX :-) I managed to net rpc vampire all user and machine accounts into LDAP, but then I realized some problems: - The

Hi I have been working all week with samba 3.4.7 in Centos 5.5 PDC(3.4.7) with LDAP backend+Centos 5.5(3.4.7) BDC with LDAP slave.

Hi I'm on ubuntu 10.04 LTS fully up to date. Am running a samba-ldap server but for some reason I can't connect a new fully updated XP machine to the domain. I've added other machines (6 months ago now, none since) successfully. I see a file /var/log/samba/log.machinename, but /var/log/samba/log.nmbd and /var/log/samba/log.smbd don't have anything of note. Using 'net rpc

hello, i've set up a domain controller to replace a production server. both servers use profile redirection for all user environment directories. my problem is that when logging onto the new domain and server, windows will create in the %userprofile% local directory an Application Directory containing Microsoft/Credentials/*SID*, although a copy exists on the server. this directory is used

Hello, I am running Samba 3.0.14a under Debian Sarge with a LDAP backend (OpenLDAP) following the IdealX guide. I am using smbldap-tools, too. Everything seems to work fine, except when I try a machine to join the domain: Windows XP SP2 says it cannot find the user. I have tried joining the domain with a domain user account and with a domain administrator account, but it does not work anyway.

Hi, When i put the command pdbedit plus any user name show the message user not found. Only user root is exibited.

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

Should I be required to add the machine to my passwd file even if I am using LDAP when joining a W2K domain domain? The only way I can get a machine to join my Samba PDC is via the following commands. # /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "asa" -s /bin/false asa$ # smbpasswd -a -m asa I thought that using ldapsam would lookup all machine information from LDAP without having to

I've been trying for the past week to get Samba and LDAP to work together as a PDC on my Gentoo box and allow some XP boxes to get in. I've read and followed the how-to's (emerged and unmergred more then a few times) My LDAP accounts all seem to work when I do the ssh test into them. Changing the domain in XP fails with the "network path not found error" even after all
