I've scoured the mailing list archives and the internet...has anyone actually figured out how to enforce strong passwords when using Samba and LDAP as a PDC? My users are allowed to change their Windows XP passwords, how do I enforce the use of strong passwords (either locally or globally)? -- *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan

I have a samba PDC set up and configured. I have been doing tests and everything was working fine. I was able to set "User must change password" to today's date and it would prompt the user that their password has expired when logging into windows xp. I could then enter a new password and be on my way. Now when I set the password to "User must change password", when I

I have a Samba PDC and a file server (domain member). They are both running CentOS 4, with Samba3-3.0.24-30 and LDAP 2.3 (on PDC). Domain authentication seems to be running fine and file access on the file server works also. I have one share on the file server that gives me trouble. Whenever I access files from this one directory, the network seems to lock up for close to a minute. I get 64%

I submitted this question to the Postfix maillist and they suggested that I post to this one. Here's my issue: I have a Postifx email system running on a CentOS 4 box, with Dovecot pop3 and imap. Last week, one of my users reported to me that about a dozen emails suddenly showed up in his in box (as unread messages), but none of them were addressed to him. Under further investigation,

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

I have Samba 3.0.24 running on CentOS 4 as a PDC with an LDAP backend. When I first set everything up, I could join workstations to the domain automatically with the Windows Network ID Wizard. Now when I try to join a workstation I get: Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The user name could not be found. If I add the computer

Hello all, I've installed samba on pretty basic install on centos 4.4. I'm running a P4 2.8Ghz, 1G Ram, Raid 5 SATA-2 disks running on both a 3ware and Highpoint Rocket raid (this is going to get swapped out for a 3ware card soon). When users copy files from a mac os x client I'm seeing the cpu load avg (in top) get up to 7. These copies included 150+Gigs of lots of smaller

I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server. (Files like 31/2Floppy(A).lnk, some *.tmp files etc.). Only very rarely, a first-time logout process happens

I have been having some problems since I updated from Samba 3.0.23 to 3.0.25b. I have installed the latest version of smbldap-tools but I am still not able to make certain changes to a user's account. I have created a new user named JROLFE. After I set up a new user, I will set it so they are required to change their password when they first login. I usually do this through LDAP Account

I'm running Samba 3.0.10 as a PDC for Win XP Pro (SP2) workstations. User Outlook .pst files on desktop machines are (obviously) very important, and must be synced with server at logout for proper backup (which occurs on server). I've noticed that said Outlook .pst files are stored on the XP Pro desktops in a folder called: "C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local

I recently set up a backup domain controller using Samba 3.0.23. I have a Samba PDC already running, and all is working fine, but once I added the BDC, now when people log in to their windows account, their home directory is now being mapped to their home on the BDC (which is empty) instead of the PDC. Conf files from each below: PDC Samba Conf: [global] unix charset = LOCALE

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

I have a working Samba PDC, I can log in and out from a windows xp workstation. I recently upgraded to 3.0.25b-33 and now, when I add a new user, I get: The system cannot log you on due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not fuctioning Please try again or consult your system administrator I have network connectivity. I was able to join this machine to the

The more I use samba and the more I read the e-mail coming into this list, I believe that a new look should be taken into how samba his configured, since more and more people are having problems with setup up of samba. Samba is basically used in 2 different ways: "client") In a Windows ADS environment where you want to access facilities on UNIX servers: printers: - print to Unix

Hi All Our company got a Windows Vista installed laptop even though we ordered it with XP. Now I'm faced with the task of integrating the beast into our samba controlled domain. Something I was hoping to delay for some time. Our PDC is samba 2.2.8a with openldap 2.1.4 We also have a Domain Member Server running samba 3.0.10. There is a document on the Microsoft site that I downloaded

Ok, I got the W2K3 resource kit tool to move my local profile to my domain profile (moveuser.exe). Didn't really work that cleanly. Even though I used the /k (keep the local account), it didn't really. It seemed to change the permissions on MOST of the files. It didn't really move the files either. It's just pointed my profile (or parts of it) to the existing folder. Can't

Greetings - I have searched the mailing list archives and my Samba 3 book and have not seen this issue addressed anywhere. My home desktop box has Win98 installed on a 20 GB drive and Centos 4.4 on a 160 GB drive with a Grub menu for selecting which OS to boot. I am wondering if it is theoretically possible to share (read and write) files on the Linux drive when booted to Window, and vice

Hello! I am migrating an old Red Hat Samba 3.0.9 server to a new Debian Etch Samba 3.0.23d with an OpenLDAP backend. I've got almost everything working with the new server except the roaming profiles. When a user logs off, Windows complains that the permissions are not correct and the profile can't be saved. I would LOVE to get rid of roaming profiles but that isn't an option

Anyone know of any *portable* SIP/WiFi handsets? Looking for a decent price:quality ratio, of possible. Keep seeing handsets for Vonage, etc., in Best Buy and the like, but I imagine it's locked to Vonage, and can't be re-appropriated.
