similar to: Adding a user which does not exist on the system...

Hey all, I hope I'm missing something simple. This is my second PDC install and I'm having some problems getting my win2k machine to join the domain. First I made the machine account: useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "bob's computer" -s /bin/false office1$ Then I lock the password: passwd -l office1$ Next I make the smbpasswd -am office1 name. Finally, I added a

I am trying to set up a samba PDC, and I have followed many FAQ's and HOWTO's ive found online. all seem to be just about the same.. So, I made a config up (at the end of this email) then I did the following: added users/machines as such: (just trying to get it to work, will spice it up later) useradd test$ passwd -l test$ smbpasswd -a -m test smbpasswd root (entered a password

Greetings all. I have a requirement to use winbind to allocate UID/GIDs for users but only if they aren't in the non-winbind nsswitch sources. I.e, given smb.conf ; samba 3.0.7 realm = DOMAIN workgroup = DOMAIN log level = 3 idmap:10 winbind:10 idmap gid = 50000-59999 idmap uid = 50000-59999 ADS users: DOMAIN\adsuser1 ; only in ADS, not NIS DOMAIN\adsuser2 ; only in ADS, not

After upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.4.3 (on new hardware) profiles only apply when the domain users are Members of the local WinXP admin group!? The Account behaves like a guest account - Modifications can not be saved (e.g. the left side of the XP/SP3 task menu remains empty, Control Panel can not be changed to classic view, .). No problems at all with profiles created unter samba version 3.4.3.

Ok folks I?m at my wit?s end here as I cannot seem to join the domain I setup under Samba version 3.0.7. Every time I try and join the domain with a user that has the power to add a machine to the domain it just says that the user does not exist. This happens with all accounts which I have specified in the smb.conf file as a user that can do this function. I have added those users via smbpasswd ?a

Hi people: I have a LDAP server running OpenLDAP that serves authentication purposes to services like ftp, imap, openvpn, etc. Now I implemented a Samba PDC based on LDAP. I did the configuration with Samba 3.2.5 on Debian Etch and smbldap-tools. I was able to join a WinXP workstation to my domain without problems but I can't login with any existing user in my LDAP directory. Then I added my

I am having problems adding a user. Here is some background: OK this is my first attempt to build a Samba server so be gentle. Operating System: Fedora Core 3 Samba version: 3.0.10-1.fc3 I have set up a Stand-alone server to support my 4 client machines (all WinXP boxes w/o a domain). I had some difficulties getting things to work and eventually traced them down to a Firestarter

Greetings, This is my first post (hopefully not too newbie for this group). Thank you in advance to anyone who feels compelled to help. I'm trying to get a copy of Samba 2.2.2 running on Solaris 9 to authenticate against an NT domain. I have successfully done this on a Redhat 7.2 box which is running Samba 2.2.4 on the same domain.

I am re-posting this with a subject line in line (hopefully) with your guidelines. Apologise if this causes any confusion. I'm fairly new to samba but I've spent too long on this - can anyone help?

Hi, I am using samba 2.2.7, configured with winbind, connected to a domain. I have publically shared printers that are done via user map. I also have many shares that I need to authenticate for, due to access rights. With one of the printers installed on my XP laptop, if I try to connect to a share, but inputting my "DOMAIN\user" and "password" I get the following error:

Hello, I'm a samba novice ;( Saw your "detailed" responses to another newbie questions so I thought I give you a shout :) Here is my setup: I've got 2 Linux boxes.

The print server is also running 1.9.18 samba release as a daemon (smbd -D). It

I finally got Samba-3.0beta1 as PDC with LDAP backend. However, I need to specify: passdb backend = ldapsam smbpasswd:smbpasswd guest and have the root account's exists in smbpasswd file. I still could not get a uid=root entry in LDAP to allow client workstation to join the domain. When in samba-2.2.8a I could use a fake rid=506 with uidNumber=0 entry in LDAP (as a SambaAccount) and it

Hi, I'd like to announce a beta patch to the KDE user manager (kuser) that integrates the management of the smbpasswd encrypted password file with the existing password file. The eventual target audience is administrators installing Samba based PDC's, or other applications where an encrypted smbpasswd file needs to be managed using graphical tools not too dissimilar
