Is it possible to have 2000 windows machines reconize Domain Users under the local Power Users group? Right now I'm using samba 3beta3. Do I need kerberos support compiled in? Thanks for your help Jason

Hi. I'm having some trouble when trying to join a SAMBA machine, acting as a member server, to a NT-style domain server managed by a SAMBA PDC using an LDAP back-end. Both machines are running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.1 Update 3 for AMD64. When trying to add the member server to the domain, it fails with an error message. However, if I try to add it again, the

Hi, I was able to join samba to the domain successfully (net rpc testjoin command says ok) but could not see it in network neighborhood. I can't map to it as well.

Hi! With Samba 3.0 beta 2, I could use "idmap" Windows-to-Unix mappings. I could run "pdbedit -a <user>" to add a Windows account and Samba would automatically acquire a UID using OpenLDAP as the backend. However, with the same configuration file, Samba 3.0 beta 3 simply doesn't query the OpenLDAP directory about "sambaUnixIdPool" object class, and limits

Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password

Hi! I am seeing other users with the same problem as I have. My samba also fails to add machine accounts. It seems to me if it didn't even try. If I use some other script (pdbedit, smbldap-tools) than smbpasswd it manages to add the account but still fails to authenticate within the same session. If I try again the machine account exists and authentication goes ok. server:~# smbpasswd -a -m

Hi all, I would like to access my RedHat Enterprise box which has Samba 3.0.9, by mapping a network drive from WinXP and specifying the UNIX account/password on the server. Is this possible? I can duplicate account usernames/passwords into smbusers/smbpasswd, but doing this for every user is a pain. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers, Phil
