I have spent days now trying to debug why I can not add machines to the domain. I am using samba 3.0.23c with an openldap backend. I can authenticate fine using smbclient with the administrator account but when I go to add a machine it fails. I have checked the debug logs and know what is happening, I am just not sure why or how to fix it. I am using the idealx scripts to add machines.

The solution is quite simple: You need to configure pam-nss for samba to work. Essentially samba is using a 'getent' call to look up computers independent is configured as passdb backend. That means the pam-nss must be configured for samba to find the computer entries in ldap. I find this very much counter-intuitive ! Thanks to Tom Crummey <tom@ee.ucl.ac.uk> and John Drescher

Greetings list, I am about setting up a domain controller in a little company, so I choose samba (debian lenny) and I did it against openldap. Everything seems to be ok in the server but when I try to log in (windows client) I have a bizarre output: it said that my profile will not be saved. And after that when I try to connect to virtual machine running in the same computer, it doesn't work:

Hi everyone! I have (i think) a fully functional tls enabled samba ldap server. I used the documenation on www.idealx.org.

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Hi, I've just moved a second Samba domain to LDAP -- it works great! However, the first domain is now dead in the water.

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb.
