similar to: Can't create machine accounts or join domain (automatically or manually with scripts or pdbedit)

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

Hi ! We're trying to migrate our NT4 PDC into a Samba one. Our env : NT4_PDC is in subnet A and also provide WINS service SAMBA_SRV is in subnet B and is running : * samba-3.0alpha23 * openldap-2.1.16 * smbldap-tools-0.7 from IDEALX samba is compiled with --with-ldap --with-ldapsam --with-syslog openldap is first populated with : # ldapadd -x -h localhost -D "ROOTDN" -W -f

Hello :) using pdbedit how can change user password (manually)? thanks Pol

Hi, I've tried to search for the problem on the lists without finding a solution. I'm trying to recreate a crashed PDC system on a new system with samba 3.0.4. It is a small domain and I use tdbsam as a backend. No LDAP (yet ;). I could actually retrieve the old SIDs from a backup file, and also the smb.conf file. All other files was though lost :( I managed to give the new domain (PDC)

Hi, > Since NUT is guessing, is there a way to make it list likely drivers back to the user when they are a close match and check validity for each one until it gets a good connection? Part of auto select? What NUT currently does in `usbhid-ups` (some other drivers may handle similar stuff differently), is it goes through a list of subdrivers built into the binary and calls those

Hello, We have been running Samba 2.2.x/Sun ONE LDAP on a particular machine for about 3 years now and I recently upgraded it to 3.0.14a with ldapsam compatibility (I can mess with the directory later if necessary). Now when users try to connect to the server their accounts get disabled unless I have specifically enabled them using smbpasswd -e username (which is kind of tough because I have to

When the administrator has reset the password for a user with smbpasswd, our users must be forced to change the password. We have tried with pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password -C 1", but nothing happens. The user can logon with the password given from the administrator and is not forced to change it. Thanks for help regards MW

Hi, I think that the delete user script is called only by smbd when a usrmgr or other external tools work with samba. smbpasswd and pdbedit is local tools and not use the "delete user script", it work directly with the selected sam. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

Hi All, I have been reading through "man pdedit". I came across the "-m" option: -m This option may only be used in conjunction with the -a option. It will make pdbedit to add a machine trust account instead of a user account (-u username will provide the machine name). Example: pdbedit -a -m -u w2k-wks

Hi, i have a question about syncing without pdbedit (exactly iformations stored in passdb.tdb) and /etc/passwd. I creating user with some comment, for example adduser test -c "my comment" -d /home/users/test -g 600 -s /bin/false and then i will add this user to samba pdbedit -a -s /etc/samba/smb.conf -u test Now i have stored in samba also comment "my comment", but why?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, Looking to upgrade from Samba 3.0.11 to HP CIFS/9000 2.03 (which is basically a patched Samba 3.0.22) on HP-UX 11i. Looking at simultaneously moving from smbpasswd as my passdb backed to tdbsam. Looks pretty idiot proof, and I think I should have very little trouble. However, here is one slight problem that I'm running into so far: #

Dear Sirs, I managed to get samba working with LDAP, users were migrated to LDAP by using pdbedit. Now I'm trying to add groups and users to groups. It doesn't work. which of tool should be used for samba-3/ldapsam: "net groupmap" ? pdbedit ? smbldap-tools ? Cheers, Ilia Chipitsine

I am migrating from an NT4 PDC to Samba 3.025a. I used the "net rpc vampire" command to transfer the user and machine accounts. Almost all accounts have a lower case Unix user name, except for the administator account. Unix is case sensitive, Windows doesn't seem to care. # pdbedit -v administrator Unix username: Administrator NT username: Administrator I was

Hi, I'm having weird problems with pdbedit working with a Ldap backend. Basically I'm not able to join the domain (samba domain mode) with my XP Pro clients. The winpopup error is: no valid IDs mapping. Samba client log shows this: smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1558) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain xxx I tracked it down and I think

One of our users tried to change his password through Samba and was told that he was unable to do so. Samba logged the following error: user john.doe does not have permissions to change password I checked the Samba source code to see what this error meant, and I found that it meant that the "password can change" time was set to the maximum time allowed. However, when I ran pdbedit to

hello, here is my problem I'm using samba 3.0.14a (debian) with ldapbackend in october I could join machine to domain without problem but today it doesn't work after some experiment I manage to see that even pdbedit was not working well for example pdbedit -a -m -u zigo give me this error ldapsam_add_sam_account: User exists without samba attributes: adding them init_ldap_from_sam:

Hi, I have to edit all my samba users password expiration time and users full names. (I changed from samba 2.2 to 3.0 today.) But pdbedit doesn't work. example command: pdbedit -r -u %user% -f "%NAME%" I installed samba 3.0.5-2.src.rpm from samba.org on RedHat ES 3. Is it still a bug? Thanks! Nicole

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID
