Hi, I am trying to plan a migration of approximately 160 PC's from a workgroup environment to using Samba (3.0.14a) as a PDC (on AIX 4.3, to be 5.3 in near future). They will NOT be using roaming profiles, as this is not appropriate for the client. Joining the machine to the domain, logging in works, everything's cool. These computers were all in a workgroup previously and had a

Migrating Users Profiles When Changing Domain Affiliation: A Primer I. Introduction NOTE: This applies to Windows NT-based systems with locally-stored user profiles. Windows 9x and Me do not manage user profiles in the same way. Quite often we find the need to change a workstation's affiliation, either from a workgroup (that is, the workstation is not in a domain environment) to a domain,

Here's the situation. We've got an old NT4 domain (not a Samba domain in NT 4 mode) which we'll call CRUSTY. There is of course an NT4 PDC and several NT4 BDCs. We have some Linux/Samba file servers (Samba 3.0.1) that are member servers (security = domain) of the NT4 domain. We also have several NT4 BDCs and about 200 workstations of varying vintage (2000, XP) in several

Replying on list so others may help or benefit... Arne, It's been a while since I've done one of these migrations, but here's a couple of things to try: - Make sure the clients' primary DNS server is an Active Directory Integrated DNS (in a single-DC environment, the DNS is usually the same machine as the W2K3 domain controller) - In the clients' Advanced TCP/IP

Hi, sshd crashes at below location. After compilation, when I start sshd it crashes in ?sshbuf-misc.c? file inside ?sshbuf_b64tod? function at line size_t plen = strlen(b64); The call trace is as below, Sshd main function -> sshkey_load_public -> sshkey_try_load_public -> sshkey_read -> sshbuf_b64tod During compilation a warning is thrown. Is this the trigger point for the crash?

Hi Team, If there is any way to migrate from Samba 3.0 domain to windows 2003 AD, please help me. Please send the procedures how to do this transperently without any changes at the users side. There is no roaming profile. All are locally created domain profile. Thanks and Regards, Shivakumar

At the risk of being called a turncoat and traitor in Sambaland, I ask, "how do I migrate from a Samba 3 domain to a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain?" A customer has determined that they wish to use the groupware features of Microsoft Exchange. They already have the licenses they need, so there's no point in convincing them that Samba will be cheaper or that some

I'm currently working on a streaming radio server that will be streaming randomized archive shows 90% of the time and then live shows 10% of the time. The solution I came up with was to have /main the archive mountpoint and have a /live for the live shows. What we want to do is use the functionality of icecast's moveusers.xsl to move them to the live at the specified time and have

Hi, Using Samba 3.0.14a and AIX 4.3, I have been able to join PC's to the domain without any problem. It "just works". I am using local profiles, and serving login batch files from the server, and that "just works". So far, I'm a happy camper. Now, I am trying to understand permissions so that I can actually use the "moveuser.exe" command from the

I presently have a Samba server (3.0.21b) set up as a member server in an NT4 domain (with a real Windows NT4 PDC). We are migrating to an Active Directory domain (with a real Windows 2003 domain controller). We have set up a two-way trust between the old NT4 domain "CLUNKY" and the new ADS domain "SLEEK" (aka sleek.local). The Samba server is a member of the CLUNKY domain

This might be a stupid question, but I ask only because I can't think of a good reason... Why do so many vendors' builds of Samba not include libnss_wins, the WINS/NetBIOS name resolution library? I find that it is very helpful for my Linux/Samba servers to be able to resolve hostnames by WINS. It also seems to improve domain browsing performance dramatically to have the library present

It appears that you cannot include groups from trusted domains in the 'valid users =' directive on a share. Here is the scenario as I experienced it (names have been changed to protect the innocent): Configuration: - Samba 3.0.21b as a member server in a real NT4 domain (security = domain) called 'NTDOMAIN' - NTDOMAIN has a two-way trust with Windows 2003 Active Directory

The man page for rsync(1) states: --password-file This option allows you to provide a password in a file for accessing a remote rsync server. Note that this option is only useful when accessing an rsync server using the built in trans- port, not when using a remote shell as the transport. The file must not be world readable. It should contain just the password as a single line.

Does anyone know of a place where I can find sample scripts for use with Samba? Looking thru smb.conf we have these options: add user script delete user script add group script delete group script add user to group script delete user from group script set primary group script add machine script shutdown script abort shutdown script logon script There are probably others that I'm

I have a Samba 3.0.4 server configured as a PDC. NetBIOS name of the server is "SERVER"; name of the workgroup is "AEC". Problem is that there's now a phantom workgroup called "SERVER" when I try to browse the network. Since there's no clients configured in this workgroup, any attempts to browse this workgroup fail. When I attempt to use User Manager for

I'll start off with my question: how do you change a user's SID? When I issue the command: [root@server root]# pdbedit -u testuser -U \ S-1-5-21-4000410194-515421893-615041212-2006 I see testuser:516:Test User [root@server root]# Then, I do "pdbedit -Lv testuser" and it still shows the old SID. Now, I'll give you a little background. Previously, this server (NetBIOS

Ok, I got the W2K3 resource kit tool to move my local profile to my domain profile (moveuser.exe). Didn't really work that cleanly. Even though I used the /k (keep the local account), it didn't really. It seemed to change the permissions on MOST of the files. It didn't really move the files either. It's just pointed my profile (or parts of it) to the existing folder. Can't

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

Having a little trouble with SWAT in Samba 3.0.3. When an option in smb.conf contains quotes, for example: add group script = /path/to/addgroupscript "%g" SWAT will, upon parsing smb.conf, display add group script = /path/to/addgroupscript and committing it causes the quoted portion to be dropped in smb.conf. Note that anything in double quotes (or, rather, after the first double
