What unit is dtmftimeout measured in? The sample configuration is provided below. Does it mean to say that the sample configuration file's dtmftimeout=3000 equates 1/8000th of a second? ; The amount of time a DTMF digit with no 'end' marker should be ; allowed to continue (in 'samples', 1/8000 of a second) ; ;dtmftimeout=3000 -- Brian Camp IT Freedom direct

Thanks But this is for demoting a PDC to a BDC. I've done that already. What I want to demote my BDCs to standalone server. I'll give a try to upromote.

Hi all, I am setting up winbind on a samba box to be used on an NT/2000 domain. I'm testing this at home, my PDC is mandrake 9, so I set up an old box as an NT BDC to do the authentication, but I cant seem to get it to join the domain. I have created the machine account etc for the NT box but get the error 'this computer name is already configured as a

Are you sure of that ? I thought it was possible... If it is not, I've got another slightly off topic question : how to I demote my former Windows NT PDC (that is now a BDC) to a normal Windows NT server, so that I have no problem with it ?

Hi every body, As you may have guessed, I've got a problem ;) What I had : - A PDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER1, for the domain TEST - A BDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER2, for the domain TEST Everything was working fine. Now I switched my NT PDC to a Samba PDC, and I make SERVER1 a BDC for the domain. Until now, no problem. I use samba 3.0.4,

Hello, thanks for looking over my ramblings... We have an NT4 PDC with and NT4 BDC on 192.168.132.X, these boxes are very very old and overloaded. I am trying to replace them with a nice shinny new Samba box. My problem is that while I am trying to test it out to make sure it plays nice it keeps winning the elections. I find this weird as I have set the box to domain master = no and turned the

Hello!! A customer of mine recently experienced a catastrophic failure of their PDC, and their BDC is not running as stable as we'd like. They've agreed to move PDC/BDC schema to Linux (currently they run NT4). So the question is: having ONLY a BDC available for SAM database, how do I extract that so I can replicate that to Samba and do a "transparent" upgrade (if possible)?

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have seen in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

Hi list, This is driving me to distraction. I have installed the 3.0.14a RPMS on SLES8, and am following chapter 9 of the 'By Example' documentation, to migrate from an NT domain to a Samba domain backed by LDAP. I have followed the instructions up to the point where I enter: net rpc join -S pdc_it -U Administrator%password Unfortunately, this responds with: Creation of workstation

Hey all, might be a tad bit off topic to samba, but not entirely unlrelated. Anyhow, as I understand it, the task of a BDC is to process most if not all of the domain logons before a PDC does so is it not? It has been my understanding that the BDC generally accepts and processes domain logons before the PDC does on a network to keep the load down on the PDC until such time as the BDC cannot

Hello, I have a little problem with samaba... well... with windows nt, samba works fine. I'll try to explain it: My net has 2 servers with NT4, a pdc and a bdc. Well, my intentions is to eliminate de NT4 PDC and put a Samba PDC. So I made the next steps: 1-. In BDC, Administrative Tools - Server Administrators (i think) and there i select the BDC and click in the menu to "Eliminate

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

Hi, Maybe this was asked many time (although can't find it on google). Let's assume 2 scenarios: 1) I've got local network where PDC and BDC are set up. PDC is working fine so the BDC is. When it's possible for any XP client to use BDC instead of PDC? I read in samba docs that if PDC is slow client can use BDC - but what does it mean slow for the client? How the client knows

Hi, Does someone know how will all my client machines find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running Samba with LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. The replication on all domain controllers are perfect. I went as far as making BDC

Hi all! I'm a bit unsure if my idea is the best approach to this. So here's what I'm supposed to do: There is currently a samba pdc running with samba-2 which is about to be replaced because of some strange behaviour. The idea is to build a bdc first which should take over the job of the pdc as long as it takes to set up a new pdc with samba-3. After that is done the pdc is brought

Hi there, I have a Samba PDC and BDC migrated from NT4 using ldapsam with an interdomain trust to a 2k3 domain. The trust is established both ways and was made from the pdc. Using samba 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 The trust is working. I can pull users from the trusted domain and apply them to acls on my samba DMS. Winbind adds the idmap entry correctly. What is not working, is authentication from

Hello all, I have 2 PC setup as PDC and BDC (both Centos5, with samba 3.0.23c-2). The problem is, quite often client logon to BDC instead of PDC. I tried to tweak the OS level, but seems not affecting the problem. My understanding is that BDC will only taking charge of client logons when PDC is unavailable. Or is it that BDC will work hand-in-hand at the same time with PDC regarding domain

I would like to know how to achieve a "hot-failover" setup between a Samba 3.x.x primary domain controller and backup domain controller with a LDAP backend. I was under the impression that all I need to specify is something like the following in my smb.conf: passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://pdc-srv.domain.org ldap://bdc-srv.domain.org" I have set this passdb backend

Normal PDC/BDC isn't possible now. It will be in Samba 3.0 (look in documentation). But you can create substitute solution. For example two idendicaly servers with autocopy of password database, but it isn't PDC/BDC relations. It is two identicaly domains. I have two servers with samba, with two indenticaly password databases and smb.conf. When I have problem with one, I can fastly change
