I have had a samba PDC up and running for about a month now with no issues, this weekend I added a BDC and it seems that all my clients are now logging into the BDC automatically instead of the PDC.

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'm trying to join a Windows PC to a domain. I've got a root user set-up to add machines to the domain. When prompted by windows, I enter in root and the password.

Greetings, I am running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9 installed from rpm on CentOS 4.4. I have it configured as a PDC. It is using the /passdb backend = tdbsam/ backend.

From all that I have read in on-line resources

I just got Samba + LDAP up and running as a PDC. If I list the users in the LDAP directory with pdbedit -L I see: root:0:test nobody:99:nobody aster$:1001:Computer toast$:1002:TOAST$ fordprefect:1003:Test Account Shouldn't there be an Administrator account and no root? I don't want my Linux root account even remotely confused or associated with a Samba/LDAP

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

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.

I have Samba and LDAP up and running, but I'm having problems editing the password policy using pdbedit. (I'm running 3.0.22) I've had a look at the man page for pdbedit but I don't really fully understand what it does in relation to passwd backends. Does pdbedit update just one backend and expect a user to export the updates to other backends? I think I've set up ldap as

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK.
