similar to: Unable to join domain in remote subnet...

Have you set in the slapd.conf on the slaves something like updateref ldap://master.ldap The slave / consumers need to redirect the request to the master ldap database. It may also be a good idea to have samba use fail over for the ldap backend. You would need to set this in your ldap.conf as too. for pdc / ldap master passdb backend =ldapsam:"ldap://master.ldap ldap://slave.ldap"

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered

I am installing smb 3.5 on a CentOS 6.2 host using smbldap-tools. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4 using smb 3.0 but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations cannot be moved straight across. When I do a listing of a share directory that should have user and group ownership determined by LDAP, I get the uidNumbers and

I am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

Hi Im looking to config a BDC with ldap. It seems the connection with ldap primary server works, but Im confused with the shared folders. I understood when you creates a BDC needs to put the same global information: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOMAIN-PDC security = user enable privileges = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/24 server string =

I have a PDC+LDAP as well as a BDC+LDAP in another subnet setup with a domain member in the same subnet as the BDC. From my understanding the domain member should be hitting the BDC for all authentication but watching the logs I see the PDC is the one handling it all. The BDC just sits there. Am I missing something? Here are the smb.conf for each servers: PDC: [global] workgroup = X.X.X

Hi All, I'm having a problem with cross subnet browsing and name resolution across an openvpn tunnel. i've found quite a few people who've had the same on mail lists but none of their fixes have worked. The spec of the setups at both ends of the tunnel are as follows: OS - CentOS 5.5 Samba Version 3.5.4 OpenVPN Version 2.0.9-1 Each server is configured in gateway mode with two NICS,

What about your openvpn config? The tun net must have an entry in your hosts allow. If you work with briding the remote network has to be the same subnet as the local!? Bridging is the best way to have a remote net integrated. I have one logging in form Berlin on my Samba-Domain.

When I stop the BDC all clients log on to the PDC.

I just hope that this time I get heard since obviously nobody reads news://linux.samba ... Platform: SuSE-9.1, kernel-2.6.5, samba-3.0.4 I have recently upgraded from 3.0.2a to 3.0.4 and I have just noticed that using the same smb.conf as with previous version, the system just does not work anymore for me ! Furthermore, smbpasswd utility appears to be dropped ! Afterwards, I have noticed

I noticed one of my smbd processes for one particular client (IUSR_JUNIPER) is taking 200MB in memory, far different from all the other smbd processes. Should I be concerned about a memory leak here? I don't think samba would be caching any files, so I can't see why it'd use this much memory. That windows client is a win2k IIS5 server, with well over 60 sites that are hosted off a

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

The situation I've got is that I want to make one domain, and then use it on several different subnets. I have 3 subnets, 10.1.x.x, 10.2 and 10.3, all physically remote, but connected by a frees/wan tunnel that is working just fine. We also have working LDAP logins and all that is fine. I have gotten as far as getting my domain going on LDAP within one subnet, but now I'm trying

Hi, I'm currently running Samba3x-3.3.8-0.51 on CentOS 5.5. I currently have many Windows XP clients associated with the domain and behaving correctly. However, I am unable to join a Windows 7 PC. I receive "The specified network name is no longer available." I've verified that DNS is configured correctly, and as stated XP machines have no problem joining. Per some googling,

Hi every body, As you may have guessed, I've got a problem ;) What I had : - A PDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER1, for the domain TEST - A BDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER2, for the domain TEST Everything was working fine. Now I switched my NT PDC to a Samba PDC, and I make SERVER1 a BDC for the domain. Until now, no problem. I use samba 3.0.4,

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works
