similar to: Modifying unix username with pdbedit

Since I have had trouble getting the net rpc vampire command to properly migrate passwords, I have been looking into stripping down the net rpc samdump results into a smbpasswd backend file, then importing from there into my tdbsam. The first problem I ran into is that the samdump produces RID values from the domain, whereas I need it to represent UIDs that already exist. No problem, since my

Dear Gaiseric, Yes, according to testparm the backend is a plain text file : smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passdb backend = smbpasswd Therefore I wonder where the User SIDs are stored ?! About "getent passwd", yes all users (active users at least) have a Unix account. About the users that are missing in pdbedit, there is not error in smb.log when they log in. (But I

the testparm command will show you the location of the password file and the backend type e.g. smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd passdb backend = tdbsam The backend file should be a TDB database file , not a plain text file (unless left over from an older version.) You may have users or computers with duplicated SIDs. You should also use "getent

[Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ] I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password. If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd" command and it would edit the file. But with a backend, that's not available to me. The "pdbedit" command will

Thank you very much for your answer. It's the default, internal backend. (smbpasswd) a) If I do : tdbdump schannel_store.tdb dump | grep BWPC |grep SECRET | wc I get 95 machines (this number looks good). b) smbpasswd is a text file that looks good. c) I can also do "tdbdump secrets.tdb dump" Thanks a lot in advance for any advice, Denis Le 15.12.2014 22:00, Gaiseric

>From what I can tell it does look as if I have to run winbindd on member servers, even if NIS is used, to get SID's mapping consistently across the domain. The PDC is Samba 3.025a on Solaris 10. Two member servers are Samba 3.025a on solaris 9. If i start winbindd on a memv, the "wbinfo -u" and "wbinfo -g" commands show my users and groups. However, the

I now have one PDC (Samba 3.026a on Solaris 10) and several member servers (including Samba 3.026a on Solaris 9 and 10, and Samba 3.024 on Fedora core 6.) Each machine uses NIS for unix accounts. If I start smbd and nmbd on a member server, I can connect to a share from a windows 2000 or XP client. If I look at the permissions on a folder, if shows "Unix Account/someuser" or

And I must admin that I really don't know where to search. Does someone knows where pdbedit is reading the information displayed ?

Dear all, I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a lot of users and machines are missing ! Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly well. The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a new server... TECHNICAL DETAILS : * Samba 3.3.10 * Number of machines : * Unix : 128 machines * pdbedit

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After a failed migrate from NT4 to Samba 3.0 using the rpc vampire method I decided I'd do it manually with 'net rpc samdump'. Well it sort of worked, except I can't edit any of the users settings, it might just be me, but it should modify the profile to that, just as a test but it doesn't. I'd actually like to get rid of the

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 onto a Pentium 4 machine. It is actually running SELinux enforcing, but I haven't found any errors related to that so far. It is running Samba 3.2.3-0.20. I am trying to migrate a Windows NT 4.0 domain with about 30 users and 30 computers onto a pure Samba setup, using Samba as the PDC and tdbsam. I have read the HOWTO guide extensively, and

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

Hi, I was having problem with the tdbsam backend in which a particular user got listed twice with pdbedit. (http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg109110.html) Without much hope in fixing it, I am planning to re-generating passdb.tdb on my PDC by: (1)exporting tdbsam to smbpasswd backend (2)delete passdb.tdb (3)re-import smbpasswd to tdbsam backend With the command `

Thanks for the advice. I had played with NT4 a little bit to see if I could use it for setting up a resource domain for windows 2003 machines- since it looks like you can join Windows 2003 machines to an NT4 domain (so why PCNL can't I don't know), and then establish trusts between NT4 and PCNL. I didn't really want to have NT4 machines in my enviroment any longer than necessary so

Hello everyone, I've been wondering if NT and UNIX username mapping can be done directly via the SAM database instead of the 'username map = <filename>' option in smb.conf. The problem with 'username map' files is that the mappings seem to work only in one direction, namely from NT towards UNIX usernames. However, I'd like to achieve a true, bi-directional

Hi all, I am trying to migrate NT4 domain to Samba-3 PDC, yet I stuck at migrating NT4 PDC information using "net rpc vampire" -- giving "segmentation fault". Any help? I use: Debian Linux, Samba 3.0.21a-Debian The steps that I did: a. In NT's server manager, I created GL-BACKUP as BDC b. Here is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = GLNET netbios name =

So finally I got the net vampire to work. I had to roll back to commit 62e0a74 bypassing all the updates done by mdw at samba.org for now. Now the replication PDC1 is the first domain controller created by provision PDC2 is the second is the second domain controller created by net vampire on PDC1 I added user using "net newuser testuser1" in few seconds it appeared on PDC2 using the

We just migrated a small network from a Win2K PDC to Samba, using "net rpc vampire" into a tdbsam backend on a Samba 3.0.2a Linux box. One of the users, let's call him Jon Harker, had the NT username "JHarker". When we ran "pdbedit -v jharker", we saw this: Unix username: JHarker NT username: JHarker Well, that looks wrong - the NT

I'm trying to migrate accounts from a NT4 PDC to a Samba 3.0.26a server with a ldap backend, using "net rpc vampire". I was able successfully to run the "smbldap-populate" script and verified that users and groups were created by running "pdbedit -Lw" and "net groupmap list". According to the output from "net rpc vampire" all accounts and

Hi all, I'm trying to migrate NT PDC server to Samba PDC. and now i use samba 3.0.0beta2. I looks the migration steps from samba-howto-collection.pdf or in http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/cvs_current/docs/htmldocs/nt4migration.html, and it's not works well. The step is : ******** The approximate migration process is described below. " You will have an NT4 PDC that has the users,
