similar to: smbldap and password expiration

A user with the X (password doesn't expire) flag on his account was forced to change his password because it expired on a system with pdbedit -P'maximum password age' account policy "maximum password age" description: Maximum password age, in seconds (default: -1 => never expire passwords) What's going on? why is samba ignoring this and expiring passwords anyways?

I've been fiddling lately with Samba 3 coupled with openldap, nss_ldap, pam_ldap and the smbldap-tools to create a PDC. Following various examples, most things work, but I have an issue with changing passwords from Windows. If I manually change a password with smbldap-passwd, the script correctly adjusts the sambaPwdMustChange attribute according to what defaultMaxPasswordAge is set to. If

Greetings. I have problem with password expiration problem i cannot handle myself, so i wrote in this list.

Hi people, As usual I've tried a number of different approaches to this problem and can't figure it out. I don't have enough knowledge. Every time I do net rpc vampire I get this crap spewed at me: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/smbldap_tools.pm line 106, <CONFIGFILE> line 233. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

I have the following environment # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.8 (Final) # uname -r 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 I have installed smbldap-tools from http://download.gna.org/smbldap-tools/packages/el5/smbldap-tools-0.9.8-1.el5.noarch.rpm. Configured OpenLDAP, but when I try to populate LDAP directory I got the following error messages # smbldap-populate -a Administrator -g 10000 -l 11111 -r

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi people, Been doing a server installation with Samba as a primary PDC that uses an LDAP backend on CentOS 5. The thing is that I cannot be able to get Samba and LDAP to talk as they should and now Im really stuck. Below are my dumps for /etc/samba/smb.conf, ldap.conf (copied its contents to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf too), and smbldap.conf. Excuse my long post; trying to be as elaborate as

Hi, I am trying to set up a SAMBA PDC using LDAP for authentication. I am using this document as a guide: http://download.gna.org/smbldap-tools/docs/samba-ldap-howto/ SAMBA and openldap are running on the same machine for R&D purposes and I am using the following software: OpenSuSE 10.3 samba-3.0.26a-3 openldap2-2.3.37-6 smbldap-tools-0.9.2 I have configured slapd.conf:

Hi everybody, I think i need a samba guru to solve this issue, because googling for months did not help and the problem is becoming pressing. I'm facing an annoying problem with samba. In detail, there is something wrong with the password handling. It happens from windows, mac or linux clients. Randomly (probably after $num days), the system asks to the user to change the password. After the

Hello, I still can't figure out why my users' passwords are expiring. Ever since we switched to LDAP, passwords expire every 14 days. Here is an example LDAP user entry: version: 1 # LDIF Export for: uid=sgoodrich,ou=Users,dc=trec,dc=us # Generated by phpLDAPadmin ( http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/ ) on September 6, 2005 10:56 am # Server: TREC (localhost) # Search Scope: base #

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hi People. I have a domain running samba 3.0.28 with Gentoo+ LDAP+smbldap-tools. Is running very well, I have about 15 WinXP clients + 1 Win2K3 server. Is easy to add a win machine to the domain, but now I need to add a linux box running Centos 5.2, But I have my doubts: Do I need to edit in my client the openldap settings? I just need samba? How my samba client is going to read

Hello, I am working on the migration of our samba 3.5 domain controller (redhat 5.7) with ldap backend to samba 4.5 on a new server (debian 9.5). On the new server I transferred the smb.conf and all the contents of the /var/lib/samba folder to a temporary folder /root/samba3. To start the migration I use the command: # samba-tool domain samba3upgrade --dbdir =/root/samba3/ --realm =

Hi List, Yesterday i have upgraded from 5.0 to 5.1 and now i have a problem with smbldap-tools. I use smbldap-tools-0.9.4-1.el5.rf from rpmforge. Then i use smbldap-passwd <user> i get an error: smbldap-passwd test Changing UNIX and samba passwords for test New password: Retype new password: Use of uninitialized value in string at /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd line 277, <STDIN> line 2.

In our password settings we have: > samba-tool domain passwordsettings show : Password complexity: on Store plaintext passwords: off : Minimum password age (days): 0 Maximum password age (days): 90 : I don't find any setting for how many days before the expiration to warn users about the pending expiration. On Windows, users seem to get notified about a pending password expiration at

I have a patch that enables "user password timeout" for 2.2.2. It works only for WinNT, Win2000 (tested and Samba on AIX and Linux) and I think with WinXP. It does not work with Win9x. You can download the patch from http://www.m-wohlfarth.de/Downloads/Samba/samba.html. I never had the problem with automatically expiring password as described in the originating message - I couldn't

Hi. Excuse my English. I've installed Samba+OpenLDAP as a PDC. Everything works fine but Samba ignores completely group information. Linux is ok. Any clue? I'm going crazy here!
