Hello all, I am new to the list and am in need of some assistance: Does anyone have a current solution that they are using to synchronize the smbpasswd's on samba 3.0 with their local /etc/shadow passwords on RedHat 3.0 ES? I need a way to do this for the existing users on the system and for new users that get created nightly on the systems. Our users do log into the system remotely as

I am trying to find a good how-to on setting up samba to use Windows 2003 for authentication, if anyone knows of a good link let me know. I am using RedHat ES 3 and our Windows is running in native mode with NT style authentication allowed. I cant use ADS and Kerberos because the current version of Kerberos on my RH server is 1.2.7 and from what I have read I need 1.3+ in order for it to work

I've got problem with Samba3 when I want to connect to eDirectory. The samba could not connect to the local eDirectory server. The Samba and the eDir can be found on the same Linux box which is a SusSe 9.1. The eDir and the Samba are working pretty good but cant see each other. Is it possible to connect from Samba 3 to Novell's eDirectory ? What are the syntaxes to these lines in smb.conf:

Hi, is anybody out there who is using Novell Edir. with samba? I have searched the archive and found some random notes but no real success story. Here is what I have achived so far. Maybe someone can give me some hints. I have tried the samba-nds.schema that comes with the 2.2.7a tar ball.

Aren't Friday's wonderful! I've just been hit up with a request from management to install Samba on our Solaris 8 UNIX servers to share out information to the windows PC's. This wouldn't be an issue if the backend was Windows AD but in our case it's eDirectory. The shares also need to be seamlessly accessible to eDirectory based groups/users without interfering with the

So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords.

From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirectory

Essentially, at this point my head is about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is

Hello, We have a RHEL 4 Update 4 server that was configured to store its Samba passwords in eDirectory via LDAP.
