Hello All, I am having a very strange problem with samba 3.0.23c. I upgraded everything from 3.0.9 and I am able to smbclient to the samba 3.0.23c PDC with the administrator user just fine. When I go to add a machine to the domain, it adds the unix machine account to the ou=computers like it is supposed to but none of the samba entries are added. I get an error on the windows side of

Hello all i have successfully upgrade an old PDC samba server (debian woody) to a new centos 5. Everything works fine except for one thing 1- i'm unable to add new computer to domain except with the root users. With others installations all users in the group "Domain Admins" was able, now i get tis error: sh: /usr/sbin/useradd: Permission denied [2007/12/18 17:33:26, 0]

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

Hi !!!!! I have installed samba 3.5.4 on OpenSuSE 11.3. It's configured as a PDC with LDAP backend.The LDAP backend was populated with the help of smbldap-tools. Here is the global section of my smb.conf [global] workgroup = ARAMDA map to guest = Bad User passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba.log printcap

The solution is quite simple: You need to configure pam-nss for samba to work. Essentially samba is using a 'getent' call to look up computers independent is configured as passdb backend. That means the pam-nss must be configured for samba to find the computer entries in ldap. I find this very much counter-intuitive ! Thanks to Tom Crummey <tom@ee.ucl.ac.uk> and John Drescher

Greetings list, I am about setting up a domain controller in a little company, so I choose samba (debian lenny) and I did it against openldap. Everything seems to be ok in the server but when I try to log in (windows client) I have a bizarre output: it said that my profile will not be saved. And after that when I try to connect to virtual machine running in the same computer, it doesn't work:

I'm attemtping to configure a Ubuntu server for a bunch of windows clients. I'd like the authentication information to be in ldap.So far the stuff works, I can authenticate users in LDAP just fine. But when I want a windows machine to join the domain I get the error 'The user name could not be found'. The computer account gets created (via smbldap-tools) and I can see it in the

I have spent days now trying to debug why I can not add machines to the domain. I am using samba 3.0.23c with an openldap backend. I can authenticate fine using smbclient with the administrator account but when I go to add a machine it fails. I have checked the debug logs and know what is happening, I am just not sure why or how to fix it. I am using the idealx scripts to add machines.

Hi I have a server with openldap and samba (samba3x in Redhat), but I can only add users to the domain with the user Administrator.

Greetings, I am trying to join a EMC Celerra NS502 CIFS server to our Samba 3.0.21a domain controller. According to EMC, I was told that we need to manually create the machine account first. How is the best way to do this? We are using an openLDAP backend, using the idealx scripts. Joining a windows machine from the computer properties dialog of that machine works perfectly. Things I have

I'm trying to set it up so I can join the domain with a regular user that is part of the domain admin group.
