similar to: Access denied-message when joining domain

Hello again. I finally managed to setup samba as a PDC and I was delighted to see that it actually worked this time, thanks to a few people here on the list. I could join the domain from the a computer running XP but I'm having some trouble when I try to connect from another computer. I get the following message; "A domain controller for the domain could not be contacted The error was:

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 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

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 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.

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'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 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

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 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

Hi, I have some users who sometimes can and cannot connect from PC to UNIX drive through SAMBA. The message is "Access is denied" and they tried to connect to different server and it is working. This makes the users think that the server is down. In fact the server is not down. Any one experiences this problem before? Please advise. regards, Bridget

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

Hey all, I have a fileserver running Debian Etch and Samba 3.0.24 that I use to serve media and private home directories. I have a couple roommates, and therefore have a couple accounts on the box for those users. I had everything working perfectly until last week when my system drive took a crap. I've reinstalled everything exactly the same (I think?) but now I am having problems with

When I run this command I am not prompted for a password, I just get the below error. # smbclient -U root //zmail/homes Error connecting to 10.0.0.14 (Connection refused) Connection to zmail failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) --- Now for the back story: CentOS v5.2 with Samba v3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 and Zimbra 5.0.11_GA on x86_64 hardware.

Hi, I am running Samba 3.0.1 on a Debian/Sid machine. I have installed winbind to access the AD of the local network, which I want to use for UNIX logons. wbinfo -u shows all the users of the AD, but "getent passwd" only shows the contents of the file /etc/passwd. I have been following the instruction for winbind (Chapter 21) in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. Any comments would be

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

All, I try to add a computer to a PDC running SAMBA 3.0 (client is Windows NT 4.0 SP5). I want all the user- and machine accounts stored on my LDAP server. When I try to join the domain I just get the error message "The machine account for this computer either does not exist or is not accessible". When I look on my LDAP-Server, I see that SAMBA has not created an account for my

Hello, Just wondering what I should be using for the password change program on a BDC. Should it be: passwd program = /usr/bin/smbpasswd -r <PDC address> %u I'm having a problem with passwords not staying in sync between the PDC and BDC with pass backend ldap. The systems are all Fedora Core 4, Samba 3.0.14a, openldap 2.2.23 Kent N

Hello, I am trying to do join my debian 3.0 linux box with samba v2.2.3a to my windows 2000 domain. I was trying to follow the directions at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN401. I have created the computer account in the active directory. What I think is weird is that smbpasswd is saying it is trying to connect to port 445? The dc I am connecting to has all the
