Hey Folks, I'm running into what appears to be a known configuration problem though am at a lost end with trying to resolve it. The problem is that when following the SAMBA and LDAP configuration guide on http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/3.0._Initialization_LDAP_Database I'm getting errors running the ldiff part. The error that is occuring is due to the sambaDomainName. slapadd:

Hey list, I'm wondering if there is any advantage to be gained by using kerberos with pam_winbind. I've configured pam_winbind and enabled krb5_auth though apart from being granted a ticket, I'm unsure as to any advantage that would be gained by enabling Kerberos.

Hello Samba People, it is my first letter to Samba ML, so first of all - thanks Samba team for a great SW. Now the question: I want to migrate from Win2003 AD to Samba 3.3.2. I want to use net vampire feature to import all account information (is there any other way to do it?). Net vampire works partly - in the direct meaning of this word - it is importing only 131 objects. How come? Full

Hi all. Since our NT4 PDC is on it's last legs, I've been motivated to once again try to use samba's vampire functionality. Unfortunately I'm actually doing worse than last year ... My smb.conf: [global] socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = 10.146.0.254/255.255.0.0 encrypt passwords = yes printing = cups

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 onto a Pentium 4 machine. It is actually running SELinux enforcing, but I haven't found any errors related to that so far. It is running Samba 3.2.3-0.20. I am trying to migrate a Windows NT 4.0 domain with about 30 users and 30 computers onto a pure Samba setup, using Samba as the PDC and tdbsam. I have read the HOWTO guide extensively, and

Hi All, It seems like Samba 3 does require the PDC to use LDAP for nss when using ldapsam. I reconfigured Solaris 9 to use nss_ldap and 'getent group' now shows the posixGroups created by the 'net rpc vampire' operation. I then cleaned up the LDAP database and ran vampire again. Each group is created successfully with incrementing gidNumber 10000 onward. 'net groupmap

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

Hi, Can someone help me get "net rpc vampire" in one of its forms working. The objective is to migrate from an NT4 PDC to a SAMBA 3.0 PDC using LDAP as a back end. I am trying to migrate the user and machine accounts across in a lab environment, separate from the main network (I have replicated the PDC to do this). I have samba-3.0.20b built from the samba team source RPM on Fedora

Hi All, Hope someone here can help me ? *See end for background and system information... I'm looking for advice or links to clear documentation on the use and configuration of "net vampire" and it's ability to download PDC accounts with passwords intact. I have successfully used "net vampire" to synchronize my Samba BDC -- with my companies PDC. I've switched

Hey All, This is probably a gotcha of some kind. That is to say I''ve missed a configuration somewhere. I''ve recently moved over to using mongrel as the puppet server type and having nginx proxy to one of four mongrel instances. What I''m seeing though is that when I try to run a new node (one that has been created post moving to mongrel/nginx) is that it returns with the

Hi all, I am trying to migrate NT4 domain to Samba-3 PDC, yet I stuck at migrating NT4 PDC information using "net rpc vampire" -- giving "segmentation fault". Any help? I use: Debian Linux, Samba 3.0.21a-Debian The steps that I did: a. In NT's server manager, I created GL-BACKUP as BDC b. Here is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = GLNET netbios name =

Hey Folks, I''m looking at doing automated provisioning of new servers and am trying to integrate puppet into this process. What I''m wondering though is what the best process for securely registering a new node is. At the moment the first time puppet is run I have to then accept the certificate on the puppetmaster and then run puppet again. What I would like to do is accept the

We just migrated a small network from a Win2K PDC to Samba, using "net rpc vampire" into a tdbsam backend on a Samba 3.0.2a Linux box. One of the users, let's call him Jon Harker, had the NT username "JHarker". When we ran "pdbedit -v jharker", we saw this: Unix username: JHarker NT username: JHarker Well, that looks wrong - the NT

Hi everybody, Since two days I'm trying to migrate a whole NT4 PDC to Samba-3 with the "net rpc vampire". Each user and computer accounts are correctly added in LDAP directory. But for every account this message appears during the migration : Primary group of xxxx has no mapping! An other problem is that none of the 558 groups is added in LDAP directory. Then, in my smb.conf

Hi, I've been in the process of attempting a transition from our current NT 4.0 PDC to Samba 3.0.4 on linux (Debian running the 2.4.18 kernel). I can get the smbd/nmbd up and running just fine and configure them by hand or with SWAT and the changes are saved. I've been following the HOWTO's and get stuck at the net rpc vampire step: I am able to join the linux machine, call it

Hey Folks, I currently have bind and dhcpd configured to allow for dynamic updates, though when I try to manually add in the srv records required for correctly identifying the samba pdc, they get overwritten when bind starts. How can I modify the bind configuration so that it writes the correct information? Also, is there a way to have samba write the correct information to bind? As for the
