similar to: pdbedit -P "password history" doesn't work !!

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

Hi, Anyone has an idea how to control the traffic from bittorrent comming to the server via layer7 ? I got it installed (kernel and iptables patched). But I have no idea how to control the incomming data via layer7. I know you can use iptables -A --samething-- -m layer7 --l7proto bittorrent -j MARK ?? or should I use CLASSIFY --set-class 1:10 for example Or should I use the -t mangle ?

Just a warring for everybody regarding this company. I emailed 2n.cz to buy 2 gateways to integrate 3g network and GSM with my asterisk box. They emailed me back to contact the local dealer for them. So I did and I bought the 3G analog gateway (bought from the local dealer) and BLUEVoice gateway(I bought it from a dealer in Serbia when I was there for a meeting) too. Having problems setting them

When the administrator has reset the password for a user with smbpasswd, our users must be forced to change the password. We have tried with pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password -C 1", but nothing happens. The user can logon with the password given from the administrator and is not forced to change it. Thanks for help regards MW

Hi, I think that the delete user script is called only by smbd when a usrmgr or other external tools work with samba. smbpasswd and pdbedit is local tools and not use the "delete user script", it work directly with the selected sam. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

Hi All, I have been reading through "man pdedit". I came across the "-m" option: -m This option may only be used in conjunction with the -a option. It will make pdbedit to add a machine trust account instead of a user account (-u username will provide the machine name). Example: pdbedit -a -m -u w2k-wks

Hi, i have a question about syncing without pdbedit (exactly iformations stored in passdb.tdb) and /etc/passwd. I creating user with some comment, for example adduser test -c "my comment" -d /home/users/test -g 600 -s /bin/false and then i will add this user to samba pdbedit -a -s /etc/samba/smb.conf -u test Now i have stored in samba also comment "my comment", but why?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, Looking to upgrade from Samba 3.0.11 to HP CIFS/9000 2.03 (which is basically a patched Samba 3.0.22) on HP-UX 11i. Looking at simultaneously moving from smbpasswd as my passdb backed to tdbsam. Looks pretty idiot proof, and I think I should have very little trouble. However, here is one slight problem that I'm running into so far: #

Dear Sirs, I managed to get samba working with LDAP, users were migrated to LDAP by using pdbedit. Now I'm trying to add groups and users to groups. It doesn't work. which of tool should be used for samba-3/ldapsam: "net groupmap" ? pdbedit ? smbldap-tools ? Cheers, Ilia Chipitsine

I am migrating from an NT4 PDC to Samba 3.025a. I used the "net rpc vampire" command to transfer the user and machine accounts. Almost all accounts have a lower case Unix user name, except for the administator account. Unix is case sensitive, Windows doesn't seem to care. # pdbedit -v administrator Unix username: Administrator NT username: Administrator I was

Hi, I'm having weird problems with pdbedit working with a Ldap backend. Basically I'm not able to join the domain (samba domain mode) with my XP Pro clients. The winpopup error is: no valid IDs mapping. Samba client log shows this: smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1558) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain xxx I tracked it down and I think

One of our users tried to change his password through Samba and was told that he was unable to do so. Samba logged the following error: user john.doe does not have permissions to change password I checked the Samba source code to see what this error meant, and I found that it meant that the "password can change" time was set to the maximum time allowed. However, when I ran pdbedit to

hello, here is my problem I'm using samba 3.0.14a (debian) with ldapbackend in october I could join machine to domain without problem but today it doesn't work after some experiment I manage to see that even pdbedit was not working well for example pdbedit -a -m -u zigo give me this error ldapsam_add_sam_account: User exists without samba attributes: adding them init_ldap_from_sam:

Hi, I have to edit all my samba users password expiration time and users full names. (I changed from samba 2.2 to 3.0 today.) But pdbedit doesn't work. example command: pdbedit -r -u %user% -f "%NAME%" I installed samba 3.0.5-2.src.rpm from samba.org on RedHat ES 3. Is it still a bug? Thanks! Nicole

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID

If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side? Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott

Hello :) using pdbedit how can change user password (manually)? thanks Pol

I am trying to set up roaming profiles and I got it working. Could someone confirm if Samba variables work or do not work in the user database. If I do the following option: pdbedit -s -u username -p "\\\\servername\\sharename\\profilename" my roaming profiles work fine but I have to direclty specify the server name and username. If I do not double up all the "\" it does not
