On my server, I have root in LDAP, and am following the Samba3 by example book, but I'm unable to get it to join the domain. I'm running samba 3.0.25b. [root@gomer samba]# net rpc join -U root%xxxxxxxx Unable to find a suitable server [root@gomer samba]# net rpc testjoin -S GOMER -U root%tical123 Join to 'ADMIN' is OK [root@gomer samba]# net rpc

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST. I have a user testuser who logged in successfully to GOMER and has a roaming profile in /var/lib/samba/profiles/testuser. So I changed the TCP/IP settings of the windows XP computer testuser uses from the WINS server of 10.8.3.37 to 10.8.3.231 so it would use BLDG1 for

I'm trying to join an XP SP2 PC called testpc to a test environment. Its network settings are statically set. IP address is 10.8.3.209. I have a PDC called gomer.mdah.state.ms.us w/ samba 3.0.26a and IP address is 10.8.3.37. On test PC I right click on my computer, properties, computer name, change from workgroup WORKGROUP to domain ADAMSTEST. But I get the error: Note: This information

I'm following along in the Samba 3 By Example.pdf and on Page 190 it has me run: [root@gomer ~]# smbldap-useradd -m -a test2 No such object at /usr/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 473. I am running smbldap_tools .0.9.4 and I have ran configure.pm and set it up correctly. The stanza in the code of line 473: # all entries = does_sid_exist($sid,$config{scope}) sub does_sid_exist { my $sid =

I'm playing around with samba + LDAP in a test environment. In LDAP root doesn't have a SambaSID:, but root does have a User SID: in pdbedit. Do I need to set the SambaSID in LDAP for the user root, or does it not matter? If so, how? I tried smbpasswd -a, smbldap-useradd, and smbldap-passwd -a and none worked. But I can load the SambaSID in by hand with ldapmodify if I need to.

I have a domain named ADAMSTEST with the LDAP/PDC being gomer.mdah.state.ms.us ip 10.8.3.37 and the BDC bldg2.mdah.state.ms.us ip 10.8.7.2. nss_ldap is working, i can ssh in to both servers fine. I'm trying to have a Windows XP named domain2 with ip 10.8.7.254 join the domain using the WINS server of 10.8.7.2 in the network tcp/ip settings. So it should be able to join the domain by

We currently have an OpenLDAP server with many nodes authenticating to it for various things. We have an existing server that is now using LDAP to authenticate, but would like to have Samba in turn authenticate to it. We've configured the smb.conf file accordingly and can get this working. Our dilemma is in adding the "Manage samba account parameters" plug-in via the Yast

I have a PDC named GOMER w/ IP of 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG2 w/ ip of 10.8.7.2. when someone on the 10.8.7.x network using the WINS server of 10.8.7.2 logs in and out, their roaming profile is stored on the PDC. is there any way to have the roaming profile stored on the BDC?, because I will have other 10.8.x.x networks and some of these remote sites will be using DSL and I don't

I'm currently going through chapter 5 of Samba-3 by Example, "Making Users Happy" Step 16 is where I get a hiccup. When I execute the command "pdbedit -Lv" which according to the man page should list out all my users, I get nothing back. All the previous steps have worked using one of my existing LDAP account uids. There seem to be extra things I need to have in my

I''ve installed the "acts_as_authenticated" plugin and made some modifications to the controller (app/controllers/account_controller.rb) "signup" module as follows: === def signup @page_title = ''Create Account'' @user = User.new(@params[:user]) if request.post? if @user.save session[:user] = User.authenticate(@user.login,

I have a PDC named gomer w/ IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named bldg1 w/ IP of 10.8.3.231, and a testpc w/ IP of 10.8.3.237. in the TCP/IP settings of testpc, I put the WINS server as 10.8.3.231, but when I log in, the roaming profile is stored onto gomer. Is this correct behavior? I then changed bldg1's logon path from logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U to logon path = \\bldg1\profiles\%U and

When I do net groupmap add rid=514 ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody type=d and then try to connect to a share called share which only allows guest connections with the following permissions: [global] guest account = nobody map to guest = bad user map to guest = bad password [share] path = /samba/admin force directory mode = 777

I have an ldif I'm trying to load for sambaprofilepath and sambahomepath getting an error, and I'm not sure why. any help? ldapmodify -D "cn=Manager,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxx -x -v -f modifywelty.ldif ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) ldapmodify: invalid format (line 5) entry: "uid=mawhite,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" the .ldif file is:

I very much appreciate the help thus far, but I think it has strayed a bit from the actual problem. The problem is that when I join a system to the samba domain it creates /some/ but not all of the required attributes for the computer account. The process then fails as samba looks in the wrong part of my directory server. I would strongly prefer to put the workstation accounts in their own tree

My Windows XP SP3 clients aren't loading their logged_in_username.bat from my netlogon share, and I can't figure out why. It looks like in the log file the Windows PCs are loading the script, its just not executing it on the windows PCs for some reason, but if I click start, run, and type in \\roark\netlogon\scripts\jholland.bat it runs fine. Running samba 3.0.31 and here's the

Back in January we upgraded/moved our domain from an old install of samba and openldap to a newer version (samba 3.5.10 and openldap 2.4.23) while also moving our domain to a new name. On the old domain, which was setup before I got here, our IT section was in an ldap group that allowed us to join PC's to the domain and when the prompt came up in windows to install software we could log in as

We recently migrated our install from an ancient fedora 11 install of samba and openldap to a centos 6.3 setup with its openldap and samba. The domain has been totally recreated from scratch as the person that did the previous setup has not been employed here in many years. After fighting with shares for a while we mostly got them fixed and working. However the biggest issue now is when our GIS

Hello, I did the steps described below and I have a problem with machine RIDs. When I first join a machine, samba adds to my sambaDomainName ldap entry a sambaNextRid attribute with a value of 1000. Now samba uses this value (incremented each time) to give its RID to the machine. This is going to be a real problem as my current samba computes RDIs as 1000+2*UID. FWIW I'm using

I downloaded and extracted samba-3.0.28.tar.gz and went to samba-3.0.28/packaging/RHEL and ran sh makerpms.sh and it compiles for a while and then I get the following error. Any ideas on what to try?
