similar to: FIXED getsmbfilepwent problem - Samba concerned with negative UIDs

All, Since installing my shiny new Samba3 PDC (3.0.23d, ldapsam backend), I've had one recurring issue that's been driving me nuts. Once a minute, Samba on one of the client servers logs the following: getsmbfilepwent: user name cmeyer2 has a negative uid. getsmbfilepwent: user name jhundley has a negative uid. Running pdbedit does the same thing: boothost:/var/log# pdbedit -Lvu

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC test-bdc:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config

All, I've got a Samba 3 PDC serving numerous XP clients, and I'm getting an error I wouldn't have expected. When trying to rename an XP machine joined to the domain (via "netdom renamecomputer"), the command fails unless the specified domain user has UID 0. The command in question: netdom renamecomputer %COMPUTERNAME% /newname:%NEWNAME% /userD:DOMAIN\USER

All, I'm using an LDAP backend for a test PDC/BDC setup. Both the PDC and BDC are using the same LDAP server. Both the PDC and BDC are running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users via smbclient. XP clients are able to login to the domain fine, and all is generally swell. My PDC is also my WINS server, and I've verified that XP clients

What does the list think of setting "locking = no" on the netlogon share for a PDC? The man page for smb.conf says we should never need to set the parameter, but given that it's a read-only share for most users, I have a hard time discerning any downside to this. Thoughts?

Regarding yesterday's message about repeated "signal 11" errors in 2.2.12, I was able to capture a backtrace. #0 0x401543ae in waitpid () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x400e9d12 in system () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x0815ea98 in smb_panic () #3 0x0814d885 in fault_report () #4 0x0814d8e2 in sig_fault () #5 <signal handler called> #6 ldap_free_urllist (ludlist=0x185) at

Ah, yes.

I'm in the process of replacing a Samba 2.2.12 PDC with Samba 3.0.14a-Debian. An LDAP database serves as the user data store, and I've made no changes to the Samba 2.2.x-compatible LDAP records. Since I don't relish LDAP schema changes, I've specified ldapsam_compat as my passdb backend; I figured that since I was already running a compatible LDAP schema, there was no need to make

I too was curious about this, so I copied the text into Babel Fish, and this is the result: I miss of the 2/04/2007 to the 11/04/2007. I will answer your message as of my return. For any urgency, to contact Emmanuelle Parache Moga or C?dric Buzay. If this guy is really going to be out until November these messages will get rather tiresome...

All, Since upgrading to 3.0.23d on several linux servers, I'm seeing the following error repeatedly in my logs: Jan 2 15:05:49 boothost smbd[27935]: [2007/01/02 15:05:49, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2332) Jan 2 15:05:49 boothost smbd[27935]: call_nt_transact_ioctl(0x90078): Currently not implemented. Aside from the obvious, what does this error mean? I've googled for

I'm not even sure this is a problem with Samba, but here goes* >From smb.conf: log file = /opt/samba/var/log/%m.log As I understand it, this option will create $CLIENT_NETBIOS_NAME.log whenever a client contacts the Samba server in any way. However, I've got clients from outside this samba server's subnet contacting the samba server. I can prove that because a PCs NetBIOS name

All: I'm running Samba 2.2.8 as a PDC, using Netscape Directory Server (don't ask :) for an LDAP backend. Is there any technical reason why Samba and LDAP services have to reside on the same server? My predecessors had a lot of trouble getting the two to play nicely when the services were split between two servers, to the point that "don't split samba and LDAP" is now the

You could do what we do - just replace the local machine policies each time you rev the policy set. They're stored in c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy. Using gpscript.exe (Google for it, don't have a specific site) you can dump the contents of either registry.pol file to text. You can also recombine textfiles back into a .pol file, and subsequently rev the gpt.ini file so your new .pol

Hi, A few days ago PDC crashed and I setup a new PDC with the same domain name. I have recreated the user accounts but when the users login, windows xp clients create a new profile. Is there a way to make the windows clients use the old profiles? Thanks. -- Erol

I have joined samba to a 2003 active directory server. If a samba shared dir is owned by root, how does active directory manage it? more specifically, how are the permissions mapped? administrator to root? i have seen reference to a parameter in smb.conf to "username map", but i don't see reference to it in either of the John Terpstra Samba books so that can't be the bridge

Hi all I am sure that there is some mention of this error in the docs somewhere but I could not find it. So, sorry for repeating it here. I have installed samba 2.0.3 on solaris 2.5.1 I carried out all the tests described in the documentation. They were all successful. Bu from an NT server I can't do this net use z: \\server_name\\tmp System error 86 has occurred The specified network

Hi, Is there any Royalty one needs to pay when using the inbuilt exisimg asterisk on hold music or when using any other mp3 from a music album. I think we need to pay for the later, but I am not sure if we need to pay for the inbuilt asterisk(freepbx) on hold music. -- Deepak --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Hello, I am a small business owner in need for a solution that automatically answers an incoming call, prompts the caller via touch-tone menu ("press 1 to leave a message, press 0 to speak to a representative") and will ring my (real) phone ONLY if requested by caller. I know that Asterisk is capable of all the logic behind what I described above. However, I couldn't find a

I just got Samba + LDAP up and running as a PDC. If I list the users in the LDAP directory with pdbedit -L I see: root:0:test nobody:99:nobody aster$:1001:Computer toast$:1002:TOAST$ fordprefect:1003:Test Account Shouldn't there be an Administrator account and no root? I don't want my Linux root account even remotely confused or associated with a Samba/LDAP

Hi, I noticed that the sound directory is missing from asterisk-1.4.0-beta4.tar.gz. This directory (7 M) witch existed in asterisk-1.4.0-beta3.tar.gz has GSM Core Sounds and some MOH.
