Hi all, I have an odd situation on my hands: * Two CentOS 5.2 boxes both joined to an AD domain. * Same samba version (3.0.28-1.el5_2.1) smb.conf, only the netbios names differ * Can enumerate users and groups using winbind -{u,g} on both. * nss doesn't enumerate users & groups on one (same lib versions, same conf file). //bentis@testukmcsstor1//:~$ rpm -qa | grep nss-

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

Hi, I have working master & slave OpenLDAP servers the Samba PDC works correctly when using either as the passdb backend. However, when configuring for LDAP failover as per this doc: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/2000users.html Samba doesn't work & the logs fill up with this: ldap_initialize: Bad parameter to an ldap routine Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1

Hi, I am trying to create a Samba share on /media/winshare with the owner as amandabackup instead of root. But as soon as I mount the Samba share on to the mount point, the permissions for the owner get reverted back to root instead of amandabackup.

Hi I'm trying to upgrade from Samba 3.0.23c on FC4 to 3.0.25b from Samba sources. Everything appears to function correctly until an MS word document is opened from a share - the file opens but the smbd process in question rockets to 99%+ CPU, stays there & needs kill -9'ing to stop it. This happens reliably. I have an appropriate strace & a level 7 log but can't see anything

Hello people! I'd like to know about a practical guide which helps to migrate users from a perfect working Samba PDC running with tdbsam backend to a new backend to LDAP. Does "pdbedit -i xxx -e xxx" make all the job? My network is growing and I need a directory service to help find people so I'd like to see a LDAP server running well with Samba without rebuild my user

Hi I was wondering if you ever got better performance out of your Gigabit/IDE/Fc2? I am facing a similar situation. I am running FC2 with Samba 3.x My problem lies in not that I am limited to 10 MBytes per second sustained. I think it's related to this pdflush and how it's buffers are setup. (I have been doing some research and before 2.6 kernels bdflush was the method that was used and

I must have a machine account in /etc/passwd ( normal way ) to create the account with pdbedit -a -m machine_account.

Folks, I have a new build of samba 3.3.0 ( stand alone file server ) which is configured to find all user data in an ldap directory, eg passdb backend = ldapsam. After testing I have confirmed that it all seems to work as it should with a test set of users. Now I need to figure out the best way to migrate the shares and users from the old system ( that used /etc/passwd to store user auth
