similar to: linux unix passwd synchronisation : linux client configuration

I have set up a web page describing my Unix to SMB password synchronisiation which also has the source code to the C front end and expect script used. http://www.btinternet.com/~p.polkinghorne/samba/u2s/ Note this is a Solaris specific solution - but should be adaptable to other Unices. Hope this helps someone ... -- Peter Polkinghorne, IT Manager Kingsford Stacey Blackwell

hi list ! i am a complete newbie, but having searched the archives roughly (i do hope, that Mailman will add searchable archives sometimes...) i couldn't find any answer to my problem. if this is the wrong list, please tell me, where i should post instead:: my setting: debian-woody, samba-2.2.3 (+ldapsam support) as PDC, LDAP-2.0.23 (+TLS support) i am administrating a

Dear SAMBA Experts, 2015 Andrew stated on a redhat bugreport that you (samba.org) are going to drop pam_smbpass.o from the samba sources, which then happened with samba 4 as i can see. however... to me and it seems many others this seems to be a problem now, since this module was often used to keep the users samba passwords in sync with the (leading) system passwords on "mixed" systems,

First, a little background: I successfully migrated the samba PDC funtionality from an old Suse machine to a new debian-based one. The old machine was named PHOENIX and had an ip address of 10.10.10.4. The new one has the same name but is on 10.10.10.14. Everything is working just fine with this new domain (authentication, adding users, computers, printing etc), except for one laptop. Since the

The z architecture is defined so that the equivalent of: while (*x == 0); is allowed to reuse the same value of *x indefinitely, even if another CPU writes to *x and synchronises the result to make it globally visible. There's no guarantee of forward progress without an explicit synchronisation on the read side. (Well, forward progress is guaranteed after an interrupt, and in practice

Searching the 'net showed that rsync asks zlib to use default compression which is equivalent to --compress-level=6 (http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/what-is-the-default-value-for-compress-level-tp2538905.html) but that would not be a good choice for local synchronisation. Should we use --compress-level=0 for local synchronisation? We are using rsync 3.0.9 and 3.1.1.

Thank you very much, it was the setting on the RS6000. Whoever originally setup our box didn't specify the BST time offset correctly. The system was reading TZ=GMT0BST0,M3.5.0,M10.5.0 Thanks to everyone that contributed to solving a simple and obvious error !!!! :) Mike ________________________________________________________________________________________ >From "John Ryan"

Hai, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/windows-time-service/how-the-windows-time-service-works Look in the above link, search for "Time Synchronization in an AD DS Hierarchy". There you find the PDC Emulator role. In the piramide. ;-) This one explains even better then the technet link. It also explains Alexei's question i believe. Greetz, Louis

dear samba-gurus our environment: solaris 9 - samba 3.0.27a after debugging a lot of hours we have to notice, that password change does not work in version 3.0.27a any more on solaris boxes. same smb.config on 3.0.24 and 3.0.27a, but unix password sync ist not working with 27a with 3.0.27 we get an error: You do not have permissions to change your password. removing the relevant

I read this on the list awhile back -- am I mistaken: I thought that "passwd" did not accept the migrate command without a patch to smbpasswd... I can't remember exactly where I read that... can someone confirm or deny this? Was the patch mainstreamed? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _|

Hi Rowland! No, I haven't synced my SysVol yet. I was following the official tutorial here, https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory. This tutorial appears to suggest that idmap.ldb files should be synchronised first prior to setting up any rsync SysVol synchronisation.

Help me Tell it is possible to make double-side synchronisation of two servers? So that it passed only on time. For example at an identical set of files on two servers any file on the first to change, i.e. for it time modify will exchange. It means becomes newer and it is necessary to transfer it to other server. And on the contrary, if modification time for any file of the second server it to

I have a samba/ldap PDC with a netlogon share and a samba member server (called sirius) with Profiles and homes shares (samba 3.0.14). Each user in the LDAP database has its sambaHomeDrive attribute set to "H:". I'm trying to follow http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold to configure my XP Pro client. It seems that I'm unable to have "folder

Hi All, I am currently running a setup with a main DC ad1, that has ntpd installed and is currently configured to retrieve the time from the UK NTP time pool. I also have a second backup AD DC, ad2, on which I have not installed ntpd but I have installed ntpdate. My current understanding is that the setup I have just described is in-line with the recommended best practices outlined in the

I''ve been having a look through scsifront again, and I saw this bit: ring_req->timeout_per_command = (sc->timeout_per_command / HZ); ring_req->nr_segments = 0; spin_unlock_irq(host->host_lock); scsifront_do_request(info); wait_event_interruptible(info->shadow[ring_req->rqid].wq_reset, info->shadow[ring_req->rqid].wait_reset); in

Hi All, Has anyone used pam_smbpass before with Samba 3 and Solaris 9? The problem I am facing is that the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword and the posixAccount userPassword attributes are not the same. While I can use "net rpc vampire" to migrate the lanman password hashes the posixAccount attribute remains unpopulated. I have discovered that the smbldap tools has scripts to

I have update the Time Synchronisation Wikipage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Time_Synchronisation It now includes information for the 'chrony' time server. If you spot any errors or omissions, or if you think that something could be said better, please report back ;-) Could I also thank Louis Van Belle for proofreading the page. Rowland

I need to let my users change their password using PAM to preserve the existing ldap authentication system. How can I force pam to sync the smb password to the unix one. I am running Fedora 7 package on an x86-64 system. I have smb working via ldap and sambasam.schema (v3.0.24) I have unix password sync = yes but it should not come into play as I never plan to reset passwords via smbd. In
