similar to: password sync "Failed to open/create TDB passwd"

I made a little progress. It is partly a file permissions error. If I change the permission of /usr/local/samba/private to 660. Since the unix Administrator (ie. Windows Domain Administrator) is in the sysadmin group, this gives it read-write permissions to this file. Under windows, as the Domain Administrator, I can now change account properties such as "password never expires."

Hi, Running samba-4.1.12-24 on Centos 7.1, I've created about 15 user accounts which are working perfectly, then for some reason today I go to create another account and it starts erroring?

Hello! I am trying to use environment variables in my samba configuration file. The %$() directive does not seem to work consistently. Do I misunderstand something? As a success example, "include = %$(SVCDIR)/conf/smb-shares.conf" works fine. Logging with debuglevel = 3 indicates successful inclusion of the secondary file. However, as a failure example, "interfaces =

Hi. I've tried Samba 3.4.3 and it upgraded my passdb.tdb file. After testing I concluded that I'm not going to upgrade to 3.4.3 yet, because 'getent passwd' was broken in recent BlastWave Solaris packages: http://wiki.blastwave.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=447&start=0 Now, after I downgraded the Samba back to 3.0.32, client connections started to malfunction. I saw

The smbpasswd on my PDC (Solaris 9, Samba 3.026a) will truncate or corrupt passwords over 8 chars. The smbpasswd command on the linux clients (Samba 3.024a) is OK. Anyone know if this is a samba version issue or something solaris specific. Thanks

Hello! I have installed Debian "Lenny" x64 and samba 3.2.5 from repository and I have some problems. First: When I set directory access rights via checkbox from WindowsXPPro SP3 it seems that it has no effect. I have rebuild samba and samba-common, version 3.0.24-6etch10, for Debian Lenny and this solved this problem. Also in rebuilded version DFS is on by default. Second: I can't

Hallo, I'm trying to convert smbpasswd to passdb.tdb. cd /etc/samba/private # (where smbpasswd lies) pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb converts all human users, but it converts (or transfers) no machine account. In "smbpasswd" are many entries beginning with (p.e.) mac001$ for these accounts, pdbedit -L -v | grep -i mac shows

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 `
