similar to: changing passwords from Windows XP Pro workstations

I've set up NT domains from scratch and things work. However, in this case I vampired the old settings over to my new Samba PDC from a W2K server which I then removed from the network. Everything almost works, except ... The main thing is that I can't seem to change the domain passwords from the XP Pro workstations. Normally you do Ctrl-Alt-Del and select change password, then fill

Sorry still unable to find documentation Hello I have set up a Samba 3 PDC on RHEL4 using the tdbsam backed. I can log in as a user who has been added to the tdbsam database from a workstation. When I try to add the workstation to the domain (after breaking user connections to the server) I get "The following error occurred while trying to joining the domain xyz.com. Access denied. I

I'm trying to set up a new server to replace my previous domain controller/file&print server on my home network. My old server was running Debian/Etch on a 32bit sempron system with two HDs. The new one is running an old 64bit single-core processor and 3 HDs configured into multiple RAID 1 and 5 arrays (/boot as RAID 1 and /, /home, swap and a /backup directory as RAID 5). The new server

I am trying to setup unified logons to my VPN users. My goal is to get rid of chap.secrets file and use winbind to authenticate against tdbsam password backend located in the PDC (Fedora Core 1) running with Samba 3.0.21pre1. I have tried with older Samba versions without success. Using winbind should allow password changes from the Windows XP Pro -client using CTRL+ALT+DEL. Smb.conf,

I'm setting up a new domain with Samba 3.0.30 as the PDC using the tdbsam backend. 'net group' yields an empty list, which is consistent with the cautious appoach that Samba takes: don't do anything automagically. But, a new Windows PDC will come online with several well-known domain users and groups. Did I miss the step where I run some stock script that creates these expected

Hi All, Can someone point me to a good reference on how to configure "tdbsam" ? Many thanks, -T

I've been at this for hours now and am still not getting it to work. I've been through the lists trying to find an answer and so far as I can tell, everything is configured OK. Obviously it's not, but I'm stuck. I recently installed Squeeze on my home server, overwriting a Lenny installation. I've been able to add my NT (Windows XP/Pro) domain accounts back in and pdbedit

G'day all... Has anyone had any success in achieving the above, without requiring the user to run smbpasswd on the samba server? On the client machine (2000 or XP) when I press ctrl-alt-del and attempt to change the password I get the error "The User name or old password is incorrect..." I need to keep things as simple as possible for my users, they're not highly computer

We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc. We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those

System: Sid ; Samba 3.0.0 ; using tdbsam ; no problems Goal: Would like to move password, group, and user data to ldap backend. Problem: I've read Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and don't see exactly how to do this as the Howto addresses primarily the password backend. What I've done so far: 1) Created the openldap bdb and the dc=domain,dc=com base and the admin with password. 2) Run

Hi, Running samba-4.1.12-24 on Centos 7.1, I've created about 15 user accounts which are working perfectly, then for some reason today I go to create another account and it starts erroring?

Hello We have a FreeBSD server (7.0 BETA3) running as PDC (Samba 3.0.28) passwords stored in tdbsam. Theres are no problems for users and machines to log on to the network as long as they use the passwords I have made by smbpasswd -a username. But I cannot make a working configuration which allows users to change their own passwords on the server. They are told something like "You do not

I see lots about how the administrator uses various tools to administer users. However, if the user just wants to change his own password, how does he do it? Or can he? I'm using tdbsam for the password backend. Samba 3.0.10. Users are Win98 and Win2k. Thanks, Michael

I've googled, RTFMed, and I still can't fix this. Hoping someone here can offer a suggestion. I'm learning, so please explain a little if you can. I installed samba on a Ubuntu 5.10 machine (named mog). My XP machine "sees" it, but the username/password dialog fails. I've traced it down to what I think is an authentication problem: mat@mog:/etc/samba$ smbclient -L

Dear Samba Users, I have a Samba 3.2.5 Server running on Debian. I use tdbsam as a password database and wonder how I can change the "Workstations" value in order to control the allowed workstations for a particular user. Last year I had a configuration with ldap using the smbldap tools where it was possible to set this value. But how can I set it without LDAP just using pdbedit?
