Hi all, I have this question, I ve got a master LDAP server on a remote place and i want to install a PDC and a BDC and a slave ldap server in other place. Mi question is... may I force de WorkStations logging (read the information )against the BDC first than PDC, so the READ trafic goes to the Slave Ldap??? The problem is the network avoid READ traffic. In the Samba FAQ recomends that the:

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi there, I have a problem getting my Samba installation redundant. I installed a PDC and a BDC working with 2 LDAP servers. The problem is, when users are logged in and the BDC fails, the PDC does not take over the running sessions and vice versa. The clients have a hanging explorer and so on. When the failing server gets back online again, everything works, no lags anymore. Is it possible

Hello and good day, we're in the middle of migrating an old samba (3.0.11) pdc server, to a new server (3.0.23d) i thought i could do a NET VAMPIRE to make the new server sync with the old one. but ofcoz' that doesn't work (NT error code 0x1c010002) is there an other way to make these servers sync ? ea. can I do pdbedit -e tdbsam:/dump.tdb on the old server, and pdbedit -i

We have samba 2.2.12 running on Solaris 9. Our PDC and BDC are windows 2000 servers running AD. Our windows admin is ready to promote a new windows 2003 R2 server to a DC. When she started DCPromo she received a warning message about older versions of windows and non-windows systems including SAMBA might not be able to communicate. Our configuration with SAMBA is not restrictive. Below is a

I'm just migrating a medium sambainstallation from old samba2.2.8 to new samba 3.0. The server is acting as PDC and there is no BDC. The new samba is based on LDAP and is already successfully tested. Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Hello folks. I need to migrate from an old server still running Debian Woody to a new server running Dapper Drake. The big challenge is turning out to be who to plan out the Samba LDAP migration. The current server version is 3.0.20 compiled form source and the Dapper package is 3.0.22 and appears to include ldap support. So I don't think I need to compile or worry about version

Greetings all, I've been researching migrating my NT4 PDC and BDC services to samba to get around the concerns we have here with NT4 no longer being patched when security holes are found. Details of my current NT4 domain... approx 300 computers, most of which can be migrated out soon either to be in no-domain or in an active directory domain approx 3000 user accounts, which need to be

Greetings, all We've been running samba2 for far too long - I'd just never found the time to upgrade, and it wasn't a priority since it WORKED. Our little Solaris9/SPARC64 box happily served our few gigs of files to 20 users, and played the part of a PDC. Then I upgraded CUPS, and discovered samba2 doesn't like cups-1.2 libs, and figured it was as good an excuse to make the

Hy, I have set up a samba PDC with tdbsam, for a office, everything seems to be ok, users logon to the pcs with their user domains, the policies are working ok, but once they login, when they try to access a share in the samba pdc server, it asks againg for user and passwd, Any idea why its doing this?, you cant access also the netlog on share, so no scripts are working :**.

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 everybody, I got a problem here with my Samba ADS member server. It functions as a file server and works for a long time. A few weeks ago our Active Directory domain controller failed due to power outage. We fixed it and now an employee reports that he could not use the samba file server any more. I restarted samba service and did the following testing: 1) getent passwd <thisUser>

OK before i start, this was something i was just testing while everyone was in training this afternoon. I have never had to deal with subnets before as we only have a few users, but decided to do a little bit of messing around to gain some experience. Basically we have one server (mandriva 2006) running samba, it has two 4 port ethernet cards in it but only utilitising one port from each card.

Just to get these things out of the way CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) # yum list installed | grep openssl openssl.i686 0.9.7a-43.14 installed openssl-devel.i586 0.9.7a-43.14 installed # yum list installed | grep samba samba.i386 3.0.10-1.4E.11 installed samba-client.i386

Hi, I use winbindd and to use it I write my Active Directory Domain Controller in the "password server" directive in smb.conf. Since I have not one but two servers (for failover situations), can I write another password server?

I feel I should know the answer to this, but I wanted to verify. I have a bunch of Windows PC's running Win 2K Pro, on three subnetworks. Two of the subnets are served by Unix (FreeBSD) boxes running NATD, but all are joined to a domain being run on a Win 2K Pro server in another building on the campus. So far I haven't joined the two Unix boxes to the domain. I'd like to

With a XP Client running all normally. i make several tunning options (socket options, write raw,...) but no change. any idea? thx chris

Hi, I'm building "cheap" print servers using old Pentium 133 (150, 200 or 233) with 32 (or 64) MB of RAM memory. Small HDs (2.1, 3.5, 4.2) GB and using Debian Sarge (3.1), with kernel 2.6, CUPS and Samba 3.0.10. The print part is ok, works fine and it is just information to the background. Now our IT team decided to put a CD and make the "cheap" print servers became
