i built a samba/ldap pdc. i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser. it was made by a 'net rpc vampire' because i have to migrate from an NT4 domain. so if i understand well, 'net rpc vampire' creates unix groups with blank spaces but shouldnt ? unix groups are at the right of the groupmap list ? exact ? Do i have to correct unix groups in the ldap base and put

Dear Sir : Nice to meet you. We are using the Samba v2.0.7 ported from uClinux to build the Samba = server for Network Storage. Currently, we met several strange problems as below : 1) Under Windows XP : The Windows backup function cannot work. But the BackUp function works well under Windows 2000. 2) Under Windows 98/98SE, we cannot copy a file

Hello again, Related to previous bug, i have corrected few things from util.c, 3 char* data structures were defined more than one time so i commented them in code, it seem to compile now... data_path state_path cache_path Thanks anyway.

Hi, I think that the delete user script is called only by smbd when a usrmgr or other external tools work with samba. smbpasswd and pdbedit is local tools and not use the "delete user script", it work directly with the selected sam. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

G'day.. just haveing the straingest problem.. I'd upgraded to the 302rc1 version. i configed it to be an pdc controller, with wins to manage our local domain.. only when browsing the domain list. it gives error(s) once in a while.. "An extended error has occured" & "the system cannot find massage text for message number 0x in the message file for \\hostname"

Hi all, i'm a bit confused, can i setup samba (3.0.30) with LDAP backend, and have the "posix/local linux" users and groups reside in the /etc/groups /etc/shadow ect. ect (the standard linux files) ??? or do i have to put them in ldap also ?? (is there a choice?) Greets, Collen

I was experiencing the same problems as detailed below. I found that my OpenLDAP Samba (samba.schema) in /etc/ldap/schema was out of date; I have now replaced it with the latest version from the Samba source (3.0.23d). The correct number of domain groups are now reported with 'net rpc info' and the groups are visible from the Windows XP dialog boxes and USRMGR. Regards, Jon

Well hello ya all. first i would like to say, that we succesfully switched from a wind*s pdc to the samba 3 beta1 pdc. it all looks to work fine., we use tdbsam as pasword back end.. the only worries i get is the fact that some how the local user groups (administrator, users, guest ect ect) won't realy work. i mapped them in the same way i did with the domain groups (and those work just

Hi there, I'm running Debian Sarge with the sernet-packages of Samba. Yesterday I updated from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23. When I start the usrmgr.exe, I still are able to modify users but I cannot see/modify groups anymore. Where could I start to find the problem? Thanks. Holger

I currently have samba version 3.0.23 installed using ldap as the backend. I am experiencing the same problems as Holger Wesser mentioned in his posting "USRMGR.exe not working properly". However, it appears that the fix of creating the group mappings does not work. They appear to be mapped correctly on my setup. My net groupmap list is: Domain Admins

G'day ya all. i had a few day's off, and was able to make samba-3's first user editor (it's actualy an front-end for pdbedit!!) check out : http://213.34.118.231/pdbedit/ let me know what you think of this user manager for samba-3 Greetings. --------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Systeem/Netwerk Beheerder) Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan Zeist

Hello I'm having some strange problems with samba 3.0.23d (PDC) on my FC6 if i start samba, everything works fine, but after an hour orso(some times 2 hours if there is not mutch traffic) machines and user accounts start expiring. i don't know why, but it is ?! after i do a restart, samba comes up and works again. i checked the mysql server (coz' i use pdb-sql as backend) but the

good day... well just need some good input on how to backup a samba server, and to preserve the posix-acl's.. got 1 pdc and 1 bdc running, but it seems that there isn't a good way to make a backup with acl.. nfs4 doesn't have anny good support for acl's (yet) so i tried to mount a samba share with mount -t smbfs.. no acl's there ?? so please is there a protocol/service that i

ehh, just a little remark/note for the mysql passwd backend users and developers... when adding a user, the 'account desc' field is NOT filled in..! when adding some text manualy, and doing pdbedit -v <user> the field showes up, so when reading from the passwdbackend, the fields are resolved, when writting too the passwdbackend , the description field (and maybe more important

Well, in my case, i have samba running as a server, with auth. to 2 samba pbc/bdc servers this server uses winbind to resolve usernames and groups. i get the error: [ date ] nsswitch/winbind_user.c:winbind_getpwnam(159) user 'collen' does not exist. [ date ] nsswitch/winbind_user.c:winbind_getpwnam(159) user 'COLLEN' does not exist. and the user in question can not acces the

Hmm, gues i missed something... i updated to samba 304, and i had a print script (print command = <script>) but it's not executed annymore ?? i do use cups to get the papers roling...! i did saw some info in the man, saying, that samba compiled against libcups, is not using the print command annymore ?? Huh.. why ?? is there a way to use my cups printer daemon, and the print command ?

Ehmmm, i would like to make some sugestions for the new samba release.. the "hide files =" in the smb.conf is a [global] parameter, wouldn't it be nice to make this a [section] parameter... (incase you have some hidden files/dirs in 1 share and in an other the same file/dir names, witch should not be hidden) and second, please please please make an option in pdbedit so that U can

Dear Herman, We had the same problems over here. The problem seems to be related to Windows Hotfix KB828741. Removing the hotfix through the control panel solved it for us.

i stumble into the following prob.. got 302 - mysql3 - rh9 i have aprox 1200 users, and 1190 are domain users.. i got like 5 users, who should be mapped into domain user mapped into domain admin ??? in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, the are mapped in to domain user group, and NOT in the domain admin group..
