Hello and good day, we're in the middle of migrating an old samba (3.0.11) pdc server, to a new server (3.0.23d) i thought i could do a NET VAMPIRE to make the new server sync with the old one. but ofcoz' that doesn't work (NT error code 0x1c010002) is there an other way to make these servers sync ? ea. can I do pdbedit -e tdbsam:/dump.tdb on the old server, and pdbedit -i

Dear Sir : Nice to meet you. We are using the Samba v2.0.7 ported from uClinux to build the Samba = server for Network Storage. Currently, we met several strange problems as below : 1) Under Windows XP : The Windows backup function cannot work. But the BackUp function works well under Windows 2000. 2) Under Windows 98/98SE, we cannot copy a file

Hi, i kinda learning to setup the samba4 all thing good so far (with the nice help of the wiki's, howto's and logics) except for the dns update part. some how i can't get the dns update to work i use bind 9.7.2 in fc14. pinging the machine gives an error of not knowing the machine in the dns.. bind9 does not show anny sign of an update, nor logs the the name of the machine ?!

Hi all, i'm a bit confused, can i setup samba (3.0.30) with LDAP backend, and have the "posix/local linux" users and groups reside in the /etc/groups /etc/shadow ect. ect (the standard linux files) ??? or do i have to put them in ldap also ?? (is there a choice?) Greets, Collen

Hi all, I've got some problems with vista sp1 + samba 3.0.28a vista will not save the profiles nor load them. ! I'm all familiar with the .V2 thing. vista however does create the "profilename.V2" directory, but does not populate it with the data Xp machines work like a charm however. profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuser so the problem with the .V2 part is

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

Well hello ya all. first i would like to say, that we succesfully switched from a wind*s pdc to the samba 3 beta1 pdc. it all looks to work fine., we use tdbsam as pasword back end.. the only worries i get is the fact that some how the local user groups (administrator, users, guest ect ect) won't realy work. i mapped them in the same way i did with the domain groups (and those work just

Hello! I want to create BDC with smbpasswd backend, just because I run ldap master on the same machine as PDC and I don't think that using ldap backend will be far better for me. Only thing I don't understand: I read in howto: <quote> Machine Accounts Keep Expiring This problem will occur when the passdb (SAM) files are copied from a central server but the local Backup

I'll explain it with commands: [root@PDC samba]# pdbedit -L lvinay -v | grep -i flags Account Flags: [UX
