Hi I am new to linux & Samba. I would like to setup Samba as a domain controller and using Fedora-ds for authentication. I have read some documents from www.samba.org but I am still in the mist. Here is my dumb questions about Samba as follows. 1. Is CENTOS4.6+SAMBA3.0.25 as PDC +FEDORA-DS possible? 2. Is this HOWTO from

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID

Hello guys, as subject says, i've got problem with it. And because i'm in preparation of migration of users form Samba PDC with passdb.tdb backend ot LDAP backend, i need to be 100% clear on it. I can't find the reference to it anywhere, so if anyone can point me in the right way ..? What is confusing for me? I'll explain on example: 1. Scenario: Existing Samba PDC server

Any ideas why this is not working?

Hello there. I'm currently configuring a Samba PDC LDAP Master Server and two Samba BDC LDAP Slave Servers with slurpd replication service over Debian 3.1 Sarge and Samba 3.0.22. I'm trying to fix a problem related with the info domain entry. When I execute the "net getlocalsid [Domain]" in the PDC server, I receive the following response: # net getlocalsid [domain] [2006/04/16

In the Samba How-To Chapter 13 it says: " The Administrator Domain SID Please note that when configured as a DC, it is now required that an account in the server's passdb backend be set to the domain SID of the default Administrator account. To obtain the domain SID on a Samba DC, run the following command: root# net getlocalsid SID for domain FOO is:

Short background : Due to Windows Seven deplaoyment we have to upgrade Samba 3.0 to Samba 3.4 (actually less version but I see no reason not to go directly to 3.4). And due to SQL backend support aborted we have to switch from SQL backend to LDAP backend. What I have in mind to do this migration is the following : -install samba 34/OpenLDAP (I also change the machine in the meantime)

Hello. I went and copied the config files from <source>/etc/samba/* and <source>/var/cache/samba/* to the target server and deleted the browse.dat and wins.dat files. The source and target servers have different IPs and hostnames, so we use "netbios alias". This has worked fine a couple of years ago. Now after all files have been copied, the old server shut down and the new

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

Hello I have samba-3.0.2 installed into /usr/local/samba/ by means of cd /usr/src/samba-3.0.2/source ./configure --with-acl-support make make install When I run pdbedit -L I get a segfault: oberon root # pdbedit -L Segmentation fault (core dumped) This occurs after samba of unknown version from these two: 3.0.1pre2 3.0.2 has been reinstalled with samba-3.0.2 (gdb) bt #0 0x400f9bf9 in free

Dear Gaiseric, Yes, according to testparm the backend is a plain text file : smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passdb backend = smbpasswd Therefore I wonder where the User SIDs are stored ?! About "getent passwd", yes all users (active users at least) have a Unix account. About the users that are missing in pdbedit, there is not error in smb.log when they log in. (But I

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

[Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ] I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password. If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd" command and it would edit the file. But with a backend, that's not available to me. The "pdbedit" command will

And I must admin that I really don't know where to search. Does someone knows where pdbedit is reading the information displayed ?

Hi. I'm trying to delete a machine account using pdbedit -x -m and it fails. Any idea why that might happen? The machine account exists.. # pdbedit -Lv 'ts$' Unix username: TS$ NT username: Account Flags: [W ] User SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-3286 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-515 Full Name: Home Directory:

I have been working to get pdbedit to expire passwords. I have seen several bugs related to pdbedit (bugzilla bug 4630 for example) on 3.0.25 so I upgraded to 3.0.25a, the latest Samba version as of this writing. What I am trying to do is set a particular user's password to expire on a certain date. If that can't be done, the ability to set it to expire "now" would be my

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

Hi, I know this issue has already been handled several times, but I couldn?t find any clear description of the procedure. I have Samba 2.2.5 running as a PDC on a RedHat 7.3 box, which I?d like to migrate to 3.0.2a now. Both versions are compiled from source using different prefixes (/usr/local/samba and /usr/local/samba3), so I can still use the old version until I get the new one working.

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000. But when I do: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -m -u somemachinename -U 3000 It does not work as you would think. The account is created but with the RID of the Unix UID*2+1000 not, a RID of 3000 as specificed on the command line. And

You think Microsoft's mailing lists and forums are better? Just wait (and wait, and and ...). Oh, that's right, you can call Microsft for help ,,, and shell out $295 per.
