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

I am having a problem getting users that were added in smbldap-useradd to be able to login. After I add them they are visible, but you can see I get this error - pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for test10 I believe that this has something to do with nss_ldap. because doing a getent passwd, it doesn't display any smb info. Any debugging info or help would be amazing, I'm

I had previously tried to migrate our PDC to a new machine by simply copying the config over and such. That failed miserably but luckily the various home servers (BDC's in samba speak I think) took up the slack. So after much debate, this weekend we moved the PDC back to the original machine. We never moved LDAP off of the original machine, as only samba functions moved. I now know I did

I have 2 samba servers, archives3 (10.8.2.2) and roark (10.8.2.3). roark is the domain master. Users on roark are in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. I'd like the users on roark to access a share on archives3 (\\archives3\pubinfo). How can I have archives3 authenticate the users against the users in smbpasswd on roark?

Hello all, We have just concluded a very drawn out test of our domain that is having some trust relationship problems with Windows 7 desktops. Here is a breakdown of our setup: roark PDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN 2 archives3 BDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN2 arrowhead BDC "home server" running samba 3.4.3 on VLAN 9 archives4 BDC

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

any ideas why it won't compile? running /root/samba-3.0.28a/packaging/RHEL/makerpms.sh eventually it gets to: ./autogen.sh: running script/mkversion.sh ./script/mkversion.sh: 'include/version.h' created for Samba("3.0.28a") ./autogen.sh: running autoheader -I. -Ilib/replace ./autogen.sh: running autoconf -I. -Ilib/replace Now run ./configure and then make. +

I have a domain controller called preshs. I have a few Windows XP computers using linksys wireless cards and a wireless access point that all connect to preshs. The network works fine. Logging in produces no errors, however when a person logs out of an XP machine they get the following error: Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and Settings\awilliam\Cookies\index.dat to location

I have a server roark (fedora core 5 with samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) with a home directory awilliam. I'm trying to mount it on my linux workstation (fedora core 5, samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1). On my workstation I do: mount -t cifs "//roark/awilliam" /mnt/roark-awilliam/ -o username=awilliam,password=xxxxxx and when I cd to /mnt/roark-awilliam, ls works, but if I cat a file I get the

i'm trying to get a copy of DeZign for Databases 2.5 running on my RedHat Linux laptop. it's partially there, but not yet usable. i'm guessing that if i identify the right native dlls, i can resolve the problems. unfortunately, i am not a windows specialist and don't really know what the different dlls do very well. the principal problem is that the pop up menus don't work

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 added myself into OpenLDAP and deleted my user account from /etc/passwd. Now samba complains in the log file: Jan 25 10:17:56 roark smbd[2767]: build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username awilliam with uid 511 is not in unix passwd database! however, I'm resolving my awilliam with nss_ldap, so I can ssh and su -l awilliam fine. so shouldn't samba be able to get

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

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.

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 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

Is it possible to have multiple domains and all of them authenticate to one PDC running openldap? Each building at work has a network segment, 10.8.1.x - 10.8.18.x, each having their own samba server using smbpasswd and DOMAIN name. Like the server arrowhead 10.8.9.2 has domain = HPADMIN in smb.conf, server archives 10.8.8.2 has domain = OLDCAPITOL in smb.conf, roark 10.8.2.3 has domain =
