similar to: Samba and LDAP: Trouble adding Win XP machines to the domain

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

I have implemented samba with LDAP backend, domain logins and roaming profiles and everything is great - except for one thing. Noone can change their passwords from windows - trying to change your password results in windows telling you your not allowed to do that! I did smbldap-show alan and among other information the line: sambaPwdCanChange: 0 appeared. From my understanding if I do

Hello there... My name is Marcelo, i am new in this list. I don't know if here is the right place for asking about samba + LDAP, if not, sorry... I am finishing to implement a samba server with ldap support but, when i want to add some group to the samba domain i obtain the following error messages: - SMBLDAP_TOOLS # smbldap-groupadd -a -g 10000 -s S-1-5-21-blablabla -t 2 domainadmins

Hi all , I'm running Debian Etch . I just finished configuring SAMBA as PDC to authenticate against LDAP server which works. The system in question uses default debian etch packages. As My Linix/unix accounts can authenticate against it. The LDAP works. I Used the default shipped smbldap-populate script to setup SAMBA. Everything seems to work as Anonymous User or as user

I am trying to set up Samba 3-0-22 as a PDC on Ubuntu server 6.0.6 LTS, this is on a Sun Ultra 5. When I try to join the domain using root, I get a dialog box with the following message The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "domain name": The user name could not be found. When I looked inside /var/log/samba/log.hp-laptop I found this [2006/10/10 19:07:02, 0]

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

Hello, I've installed a Samba 3 PDC using LDAP authentication, along with the smbldap tools, on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Everything works fine and (XP Pro) Windows clients can join my domain. I would like Samba to automatically run a (home made) script on the PDC server when the user changes his password on his machine in order to update it on other servers (for instance our mail server uses another

Here is my setup. I have two samba domain controllers on the same subnet. It's a 172.16.12.0 subnet. First domain "STAFF" Second domain "PATRONS" They both have wins enabled and all clients have broadcasting disabled. Can someone tell me if I will have a problem? If so please give some kind of example. I am really trying to learn why

Hello. I've migrated samba to ldap, and everithing works fine except that when a user changes the password from an xp client receives an error indicating that the "old" password was wrong, but the password is changed in the server, so the user gets confused. Here http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-August/090254.html are a thread about this same problem; it's says that

Hello. I have a samba PDC using an LDAP backend and everything is working perfectly. I'm using debian sarge as server with samba 3.0.14a and have populated the LDAP backend with smbldap-tools (smbldap-populate). I have readed the chapter 14 of TOSHARG, where it explains about privileges, I can assign privileges and use them but not have understood the part that says something

Hiya, I'm trying to set up a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I experienced problems joining machines to domains, the machine account was created, but Windows said user name cannot be found. I resolved this by adding ldap to /etc/nsswitch.conf, but this has the side effect of allowing ldap users to login to the server via SSH. Whilst I can understand the need for LDAP users to be accessible

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 attemtping to configure a Ubuntu server for a bunch of windows clients. I'd like the authentication information to be in ldap.So far the stuff works, I can authenticate users in LDAP just fine. But when I want a windows machine to join the domain I get the error 'The user name could not be found'. The computer account gets created (via smbldap-tools) and I can see it in the

Hello. In the Samba by Example book theres a section called "Effect of Setting File and Directory SUID/SGID Permissions Explained", that shows an example of the effect of SUID/SGID bits. The SGID bit when setted in directories makes the files inherit the group owner, but I couldn't make the SUID bit on directories work, making files inherit the owner. The

Hi, I'm using samba-3.0.28-0.fc8. I'm trying to build a file server for 100 users. I created a perl script that automatically adds the 100 users plus their passwords with success. Now I'm having difficulty creating a script using the smbpasswd command because passwords must be entered in stdin. I also tried smbpasswd -s option but it asks passwd in stdin. Is there a way that I can use

Hi, The Problem: I have a samba domain using LDAP as the backend, complete with the IdealX LDAP scripts. Most of my Unix boxes (certainly anything which does any Samba stuff) authenticates against the same LDAP backend, using it for groups and users. I need to grant some people sufficient priviliges to add workstations to the domain, but I don't want to give them the root password in

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password

Hello I'm having some strange problems with samba 3.0.23d (PDC) on my FC6 if i start samba, everything works fine, but after an hour orso(some times 2 hours if there is not mutch traffic) machines and user accounts start expiring. i don't know why, but it is ?! after i do a restart, samba comes up and works again. i checked the mysql server (coz' i use pdb-sql as backend) but the

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Samba with a tdbsam backend, configured not to use roaming profiles. Two different XP clients (SP2) are joined to the domain ok but users can only logon by rebooting before entering their logon details. When users logoff and try to logon again (or logon as a different user on the same machine) they get the standard message 'windows cannot connect to

Hello I configured my domain under samba pdc. with bind and dhcpd for the network, and samba for the sharing. Having correctly configured the global (I think, because in workgroup it works very good, and testparm finds me no error), I obtain following both problems: 1. Refusal to join the domain. I modified well the key in my Windows, I was kind enough to change domain. That recognized it
