Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi All, I have a tdbsam backend on Samba PDC and am trying to set a user up as a domain admin. I read that instead of the old admin users line in smb.conf you now use net groupmap to map unix groups to NT groups. I have a user called toni in unix group admins and have run: net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins running: net groupmap list gives: Domain

Hi all, I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandrake 10.2 (LE2005) and have mounted the shares on an NT4 server to rsync the files over to the Samba box. The only thing is that Linux sees the dual Xeons in the server as four CPUs and the first core on CPU1 hits 100% while the files are copying over. Every so often, CPU1, core 2 takes over (at 100%) for a short period and then core 1 goes back to

Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

To anyone out there who's having problems joining their Samba/LDAP domain with XP here's a solution. The main symptom is that the XP join domain gui returns a "user cannot be found" error. The setup that I experienced this on was configured and managed using the smbldap-tools package. Usual disclaimer applies if it fails to work, you are responsible for backing up your

Hi All, I'm trying to run a school CAD app called Prodesktop in wine 0.9.46 and have a problem with the detection of colour depth. X is set to run at 1024x768 which is fine as far as the app goes and the colour depth is set to 24 bit. When the app runs, it complains that it requires 16 bit colour, or greater and then shuts down. Is this a problem anyone else has run into possibly with a

Hi all, I'm trying to add printers with cupsaddsmb on Samba 3.0.20 (Mandrake Linux) with an LDAP backend. I've followed the howto on the samba page and have the error: result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME generated when I run it. So far I've Googled for the solution but nothing listed has helped. The full set of errors are as follows: Cupsaddsmb returns:

Hi all, I''ve just built Mandrake 10.1 on a Compaq Deskpro that I''ve built as a router/firewall and am redirecting port 80 outbound to force users through the Content Filter. I''ve run this setup on Mandrake 9.0 and 10.0 without any problems but this time the following happens. Squid is accessed through port 3128 and Dansguardian via 8080. If I set my browser on a

Hi All, I have samba 3.0.23 running on Ubuntu and have a problem with ID maps. When viewing file permissions on the PDC (Samba 3.0.20/Redhat EL4) Win XP resolves the SID/RID to NT user and group names. With the Ubuntu mamber server however, it shows only the SID. I checked that the user and group idmaps in Samba's Winbind setting were matching ranges and even deleted the contents of

Hi Guys Thanks a lot this has helped me greatly.

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of

Hi all, I have a script that I wish to implement for adding users and samba users in bulk. I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandriva LE2005 although the script dates back to samba 2 days. The script works by reading the user's name, password and group from a text file, first generating Unix user accounts and then running: /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -s $user $pwd > /dev/null to add the smb

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

Hi All, I'm setting up a Samba AD domain which works perfectly with the WIn 7 server tools and so far everything is going fine. What has me stumped is setting up an LDAP proxy in our DMZ against which I can authenticate our email and web services. I've got port 389 open on my main Samba 4 DC and if I use the domain administrator account to bind the proxy, everything works. In order

Hi, I need to write a (Perl) script that will access the LDAP server that is bunddled in Samba 4. What DN should I use to authenticate? Best regards, Olivier --

Hi all, I am looking at setting up a multi-site office and need to put a plan forward. The site consists of one head office and several branch office and my plan so far is this: In head office, one Samba PDC. Each branch office will have a local BDC that also stores files local to the branch, hopefully cutting down the day to day traffic across the VPN. The VPN I plan to use is OpenVPN in

Hi, Does anyone have suggestions hooking Zyxel Prestige 2002 to Asterisk? I have tested Zyxel Prestige with both supported codecs. Call with G.711 sounds very choppy and cracking. Almost can't understand a word. Today I installed G.729 support into Asterisk but unbearable voice quality remains. It's a little bit better though. I have tested that Zyxel ATA with some commercial SIP
