Hi all, I am doing some research on Samba+OpenLDAP (+DHCP+DNS) with the intention of getting rid of the Micro$oft licenses necessary to maintain the Server products from such company. One of the aims I have is to demonstrate other people in my company that an open source alternative can work as well as (or even better than) a propietary solution. At the moment, I am getting desperated trying to

I have implemented samba with LDAP backend, domain logins and roaming profiles and everything is great - except for one thing. Noone can change their passwords from windows - trying to change your password results in windows telling you your not allowed to do that! I did smbldap-show alan and among other information the line: sambaPwdCanChange: 0 appeared. From my understanding if I do

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hi all , I'm running Debian Etch . I just finished configuring SAMBA as PDC to authenticate against LDAP server which works. The system in question uses default debian etch packages. As My Linix/unix accounts can authenticate against it. The LDAP works. I Used the default shipped smbldap-populate script to setup SAMBA. Everything seems to work as Anonymous User or as user

Hello there... My name is Marcelo, i am new in this list. I don't know if here is the right place for asking about samba + LDAP, if not, sorry... I am finishing to implement a samba server with ldap support but, when i want to add some group to the samba domain i obtain the following error messages: - SMBLDAP_TOOLS # smbldap-groupadd -a -g 10000 -s S-1-5-21-blablabla -t 2 domainadmins

Hello. I have a samba PDC using an LDAP backend and everything is working perfectly. I'm using debian sarge as server with samba 3.0.14a and have populated the LDAP backend with smbldap-tools (smbldap-populate). I have readed the chapter 14 of TOSHARG, where it explains about privileges, I can assign privileges and use them but not have understood the part that says something

Hello. In the Samba by Example book theres a section called "Effect of Setting File and Directory SUID/SGID Permissions Explained", that shows an example of the effect of SUID/SGID bits. The SGID bit when setted in directories makes the files inherit the group owner, but I couldn't make the SUID bit on directories work, making files inherit the owner. The

Hello, I've installed a Samba 3 PDC using LDAP authentication, along with the smbldap tools, on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Everything works fine and (XP Pro) Windows clients can join my domain. I would like Samba to automatically run a (home made) script on the PDC server when the user changes his password on his machine in order to update it on other servers (for instance our mail server uses another

Hello. I've migrated samba to ldap, and everithing works fine except that when a user changes the password from an xp client receives an error indicating that the "old" password was wrong, but the password is changed in the server, so the user gets confused. Here http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-August/090254.html are a thread about this same problem; it's says that

I am trying to set up Samba 3-0-22 as a PDC on Ubuntu server 6.0.6 LTS, this is on a Sun Ultra 5. When I try to join the domain using root, I get a dialog box with the following message The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "domain name": The user name could not be found. When I looked inside /var/log/samba/log.hp-laptop I found this [2006/10/10 19:07:02, 0]

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password

Hello I'm having some strange problems with samba 3.0.23d (PDC) on my FC6 if i start samba, everything works fine, but after an hour orso(some times 2 hours if there is not mutch traffic) machines and user accounts start expiring. i don't know why, but it is ?! after i do a restart, samba comes up and works again. i checked the mysql server (coz' i use pdb-sql as backend) but the

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Samba with a tdbsam backend, configured not to use roaming profiles. Two different XP clients (SP2) are joined to the domain ok but users can only logon by rebooting before entering their logon details. When users logoff and try to logon again (or logon as a different user on the same machine) they get the standard message 'windows cannot connect to

I'm wondering if there is a way to add a network share (either UNC or mapped drive) to the path of a user when they login? for example have a directory \\smbserver\apps and put putty.exe in there.. so that when I sit down at a machine I will always have putty in the path.. Is that possible?

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

Hi list! I've got a debian "etch" box running samba 3.0.24. The server is a firewall (running Shorewall 3.2.6) with five NICs: eth0 -> DSL (it has a public IP address and it allows all the people browse by masquerading other interfaces) eth1 and eth3 -> bond0 (IP address is 192.168.1.1/24) eth2 and eth4 -> bond1 (IP address is 192.168.2.1/24) BTW, bond+ refers to an

Hi, I'm using samba-3.0.28-0.fc8. I'm trying to build a file server for 100 users. I created a perl script that automatically adds the 100 users plus their passwords with success. Now I'm having difficulty creating a script using the smbpasswd command because passwords must be entered in stdin. I also tried smbpasswd -s option but it asks passwd in stdin. Is there a way that I can use

Hi, everybody: Forgive me for bringing this to you. We normally use Samba servers but are dealing with a situation involving two Windows 2003 servers and browsing, and the truth is, I can't think of a better forum to bring questions about browsing. We have the following situation: Domain controller is a Windows 2000 machine at 192.168.0.100 The backup domain controller is a Windows 2003
