Hi all, Anybody help in fatching users from LDAP. like wbinfo -u from ads/domain in windows. ypcat passwd from NIS. Help!!!!!! Thank with regards, Kuldeep Kumar --

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

Using Samba 3.0.2pre1 under SuSE 8.2. I have seen several references now in this list noting that the browse for machine accounts in Samba 3 is broken, and 'People' should be used instead. I changed smb.conf to 'ldp machine suffix = ou=People' and I changed smbldap_conf.pm to '$computersou=(People). I then cleared ldap, ran smbldap-populate.pl, and changed the uid of

Hello, I need some ideas about one problem. I have 500 users with md5 password on a MSsql server that I need to migrate to a Samba server with ldap. Is there any way to migrate or use those usernames and the md5 hashes? i mean... may I use those hash for SMB? I know that openldap could use md5 but i m not sure if the samba+ldap can use those hashes to autenticate the users. Many many thanks and

We built a new server running Samba 3.0.23c and configured it to replace our corporate PDC that was running Samba 3.0.7. The PDC uses tdbsam and has the "admin users" directive defined. All user accounts were copied to the new server. Using the output of "net groupmap list" from the old server we mapped the windows accounts and SIDs to their unix group counterparts on the

Hi, I'm trying to make a "pure ldap" setup, whereas users, groups, id mappings and everything that is supported with LDAP be in the LDAP tree and managed directly by samba. That is, I'm using: ldapsam:trusted = yes ldapsam:editposix = yes And NOT using smbldap-*. My smb.conf is here: http://wiki.clueless.com.ar/SambaLdap/smb.conf-PDC I created the LDAP tree root

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

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>

hi list, we want to migrate all our users from smbpasswd into ldap, but first test it so the current samba server in production should not be changed. to achieve this i created a smb.conf file with the following content: --- [smb.conf] [global] workgroup = mpi netbios name = sandy01 netbios aliases = sandy02 sandy03 interfaces = 10.4.0.106/255.255.0.0 bind interfaces only = yes socket

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 want close all session on samba at the night for save user profile. I have try to do this with the net command : Net rap session close client_name but nothing effect Someone have an idea please, Thanks

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

Hello, i use Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) with Samba Version 3.0.10-1.4E. Samba are running as PDC. If i save a 160 KB Excel file (Excel 2000 and XP) on a Windows 2000 Client, then samba hangs. 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

Hi there, I use FC5. I discovered, for an exemple, if you have a user group with 3 members (Alan, Baker, Clive), before 3.0.23c this line at smb.conf worked fine: valid users = @user But with 3.0.23c update it doesn't work anymore. You have to replace the line like this: valid users = Alan, Baker, Clive I mean, replace the "@groupname" with the complete userlist of the

I'm working for a higher education institution, and we have Novell Netware for our file sharing services. We are looking at what migration paths are available. I know samba works, we use it on a number of Solaris and Linux boxes and have it authenticate against our Windows ADS. Manually editing samba confiiguration files for up to a hundred users is OK. The challenge is how do you manage a
