Hi there, I have a problem getting my Samba installation redundant. I installed a PDC and a BDC working with 2 LDAP servers. The problem is, when users are logged in and the BDC fails, the PDC does not take over the running sessions and vice versa. The clients have a hanging explorer and so on. When the failing server gets back online again, everything works, no lags anymore. Is it possible

I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Hello We have successfully set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 and we are now trying to connect remote clients to connect to it. The problems we are having are as follows: a) If we set connect with telnet, we get the login prompt. If we use any valid login name & password combination (including root), we get the response "Login incorrect" and then the login prompt comes back. How

Hi list. Maybe this could be off-topic but here I think many have used OpenLDAP to unify yours authentication needs, allowing an unique username and password for all the corporate applications. My doubt is, which rules do you use to split all the user levels so that one user could be allowed to access app A but isn't allowed to access app B (think this about many apps)? Have you been using

Hi there, finally all seems to be working. Samba 3 as PDC with LDAP Backend. Even ACLs are possible with the command line tool setfacl. These ACLs work fine in Samba and are displayed correctly in the Windows filemanager in the security-tab. But one thing remains unsolved: why can't I set those ACLs directly from my Windows client machine? If I try to modify the ACL I always get a message

Hi, I have a AIX 5.3 machine with Samba 3.0.24c joined into one Windows 2003 ADS server OK. I can request basic information, user lookup, domain lookup(wbinfo, id, net groupmap). When I want to acces the share \\node05\brom from one Windows station I receive a popup window password.

Hi all; for few weeks I'm trying to implement a new samba PDC server for my school. It is based on debian squeeze and samba 3.5.6 with lDAP backend. I was able to join a computer into domain, LDAP is working, mapping home drive for users also. It seems that almost all works good but with one exeption. The one thing which is broken is roaming profile support. When user is logging into domain

Several users keep asking for a similar setup, and I'm wondering if there's a way to achieve it with a single samba share. They'll ask for a single share drive the has multiple subdirectories with each subdirectory having different permissions based on groups. So say you have a share called COLOURS and inside that share are three subdirectories, RED, GREEN and BLUE. Group1

Hello folks! I have a "small" problem configuring samba-3.0.9 (on Debian, if that matters). My samba server acts like primary domain controller, and my users can log to the domain. But, their profiles are not roaming (yes, those users have roaming profile selected on every workstation, that's not it). That is - they are not created on samba machine, but instead, on every workstation

Hi. I used to have samba set up on a Fedora Core 3 server that acted as a PDC for a dozen Windows XP clients. I hade roaming profiles working fine. Then I decided to upgrade (reformat) to Fedora Core 6 for the added harware support. I didn't save the right files and hosed my roaming profile (SID issue, I guess). Now I'm remaking the PDC on Fedora Core 6. I'll start everyone off

Hello, actually I am trying to implement a samba PDC server with a LDAP backend where user are authenticated with. Additionally the users' profiles should be stored on it, whicht only works for one user, not the 3 other. The point is, I don't see the difference between them so it should work for all or none. This is what I have in my smb.conf regarding this: [global] logon

First some information on the system set up. OS: CentOS 4.3 Samba 3.0.10 FDS 7.1 Samba is acting as a PDC for our network. We have both windows 2000 and windows XP client machines. They are all joined to our domain. Everything "seems" to be fine except that when a user logs into a machine they can not make even simple changes to setting such as folder options (ie. view file extensions).
