Hello, I've got a somehow weird problem with the primary GID of samba users. passdb backend is tdbsam. when I connect to the samba server my gid is set to 2147483404 instead of 1002 (domainusers). The GID 1002 ist configured as my primary group in /etc/passwd. This also happens with other usernames. After deleting group_mapping.tdb this worked for some hours but the error came back.

Hi all, Using Samba 3.0.0beta3 on FreeBSD 4.9 and a WinXP SP1 client. I was able to join the domain with the WinXP machine, but I cannot log-on. The Windows error message is about the domain server not found, no machine account, etc. I set the log level to 3 and received the following output when I tried to log-on: "[2004/01/27 20:00:00, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:push_sec_ctx(256)

Hi list, I have the problem, that a samba 2.2.8a server cannot validate the password with a samba 3.0 pdc for a client request. A samba 2.2.1 works fine.

All, I installed the new version of samba on my Redhat 9.0 server. I have samba running on another Redhat 9.0 server and the version of samba on that box is 3.0.21c-1 and this server has successfully joined a W2K Domain. I am trying to migrate the data from the host that works to the new host. Here are the steps that I have taken to try and join to the domain. 1. rpm -i -vv

Hi I've found a few list posts with this problem but none of their solutions helped. Apologies for the long mail but I've no idea which section of the various logs will be the important part. I've set up a RHEL5.3 server (with Samba 3.0.33) to authenticate to an existing active directory realm on our local network. The AD server is Windows-based and works fine for a couple of

Guten Tag Samba-List, after updating my Linux-Server from Debian Etch to Lenny, some of my workstations (W2kSP4) couln't log into the domain. I removed the machines from the domain, changed the name, created a new machine-account, but I still can't add the machine to the domain. My /etc/smb.conf (see below the logfile) is unchanged since Debian Etch. Perhaps someone

Unix solaris 10 samba 3.0.21b I am having a problem starting samba. I originally installed and started samba on a computer successfully, but realised I did not have the correct permissioning for the shared directory. I tried "chown" on the directory (in the path of the smb.conf file) whilst samba was still running. I then killed nmbd and smbd and tried re-starting everything.

Hello, I have a Samba 3.0.11/LDAP-Backend PDC configured and I am able to join all kinds of machines quite well. However my Samba 2.2.12 Linux Fileserver is just able to join the domain: ---snip--- [573]root@hal/opt/samba> smbpasswd -j <Domainname> -r <PDC Name> -U Administrator Password: Joined domain <Domainname> ---snip--- When I now try to access my Fileserver with a

Hi, I have a samba server which should act as a domain controller. I did not set up the server by myself. I can "see" and use the servers shares with windows and linux clients. Everithing - including the security settings - for the shares works as expected. I can join a client to the domain, this works with manual adding the machine account as well as with the adduser script . I

Hi again, as I am finally back working on the problem, I add the smb.conf in the hope somebody can see what I am doing wrong. Samba Version is 3.0.14a from Debian Sarge. Attached is my smb.conf - there may be some unnecessary things in it meanwhile due to too much trying, but anyways. Meanwhile there are some more clients that have problems with password authentication. One thing I noticed is

Hello, I've got a strange problem here: I installed Samba 3.0.2a using the official rpms on a SuSE 9.0 machine. I configured samba in the smb.conf as a PDC and created user and machine accounts on the system as well as in the smbpasswd. Afterwards I was able to join the domain with my Windows XP client. After a reboot I am unable to log on to the Domain on my WinXP client. There's just the

Hello, I have recently installed Samba 3.0.2 on Solaris 8. All is OK except for Windows NT. I can't open the user's shares on the Samba box.

Hi, We have a major problem using Samba to access NFS mounted directories. The directory in question is on a Snap server running OS 3, and Samba is running on a new Sun V250 running Solaris 9; the NFS directory is mounted using udp. The problems occur when trying to load a file, which causes the samba process to crash. Another process starts automatically, crashes and so forth. However, the

Hi there, I'm having some issues with a samba PDC. Using debian etch, kernel version 2.6.18-6-686.

Hi, I'm working on bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6592 and something that has apparently changed in my setup is preventing me from testing the final stages of the fix. I have a machine running Samba server and joined to the domain, and am accessing that from the W2K3 domain server logged, logged into the latter as the domain administrator. But the problem is that in its access
