Folks, I some very basic questions with regard to Samba and LDAP backend account database use. I am familiar with LDAP and have been using ldap for a while now to store info for a variety of services. I have been using Samba as a stand alone file server with user account info in /etc/passwd for a while as well. I am now trying to build samba 3.3.0 as a standalone, non PDC, on solaris 10 using

Hello, I am in the process of migrating to passdb backend = ldapsam on debian unstable with the latest 3.0pre samba package. All users have a ldap sambaAccount object which was added by hand after using migrationtools from padl.com. Testing auth with smbclient works fine, however when using samba as a PDC from WinXP I can't log into the domain as I used to when "passdb backend =

Hi list Does anyone know if there is a simple way to import standard linux users into the directory server? I have found some but they don't seem to be so flexible since I have to import from several servers into different ou's Regards Per Qvindesland

I've recently migrated a handful of shares from Samba ver 2.28 to ver 3.3.4 w/ LDAP backend. Both cases are stand alone samba servers. So all is working well and I have managed to iron out some of the kinks, however now my users are complaining about excel files ( on the shares) taking too long to open as well as to save. I did some tests to get some numbers to deal with and in fact see

Folks, I am attempting to get an install of Samba authenticating against a Sun DS as a "stand alone" smb server eg. non PDC. I have the host OS ( solaris 10) properly configured to authenticate against the directory, the directory schema modified to accept the PosixAccount and SambaSamAccount objectclasses, smb.conf configured and in place and a test user in place as well. My two

Hello people! I'd like to know about a practical guide which helps to migrate users from a perfect working Samba PDC running with tdbsam backend to a new backend to LDAP. Does "pdbedit -i xxx -e xxx" make all the job? My network is growing and I need a directory service to help find people so I'd like to see a LDAP server running well with Samba without rebuild my user

Is it possible to take a SSHA password from an ldif and create a proper sambaNTpassword from it? Here's the scenario: the ldap servers in our organization do not have the samba schema installed and the likelihood of that happening is slim. I still want to provide clients with as close to a single sign on solution as possible and I can get an ldif of the accounts I need. However, the

Hi everybody, i need a migration script from smbpasswd-file to a ldap database. I searched a lot in google in the archive, but found only hints for changing the perl scripts of padl migration scripts. I have only poor perl knowledge, so i ask here, if anybody made a script which would help me. Thanks a lot. Bye Chris

I have been asked to implement Samba and integrate it with our Sun Directory 5.2 servers. I am looking for any advice that will point me in the right direction. Such as Schema modifications and such. I have found articles talking about openldap but nothing really about Sun's Directory Server. I have just started researching this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary

Hi there, Is anybody has ever made this: Migrate samba 2.x users (and their unix accounts) to an openldap? I've found plenty of how to for building a blank samba/ldap authentication system, but nothing for migrate existing samba 2.x account (but samba 3.x)... smbldap-tools are useful for creating groups etc., migratetools are useful for unix account, but what about samba 2.x? Is anybody

Hi people: I have a LDAP server running OpenLDAP that serves authentication purposes to services like ftp, imap, openvpn, etc. Now I implemented a Samba PDC based on LDAP. I did the configuration with Samba 3.2.5 on Debian Etch and smbldap-tools. I was able to join a WinXP workstation to my domain without problems but I can't login with any existing user in my LDAP directory. Then I added my

Ok guys, i'm giving up. To clarify this whole thing for me please tell me: if you have ldap and samba configured together do you still need to have local accounts in /etc/passwd in order to use smbpasswd or pdbedit utility? (_fact_: smbldap-useradd.pl using them anyway _fact_) Thank you. Sincerely, Kiryl.

Hi, The idea is to avoid to have machines accounts in /etc/passwd and store all on the ldap. I must have a machine account in /etc/passwd ( normal way ) to create the account with pdbedit -a -m machine_account. In fact once it is created , I can delete the account in the localmachine and machine can connect without any problems. ( the account stay only in the ldap ). I 've done it.

hi, I would like to know is it possible to make writing file to samba completely in kernel? I'm using a slow CPU (FA526) , and the memory copy is even slower. The reading performance is over 7 MB/s, with mmap and sendfile enabled, while writing is only 4-5 MB/s. Without mmap and sendfile, reading from samba is also about 4-5 MB/s. I use Oprofile to profile writing file to samba and found

I am trying to achieve a Flash-like menu with OnMouseOver effects on 3 divs below. Unfortunately, the javascript resets when the mouse is rolled over the text and if you go mouse crazy on the divs, the script seems to remember where it cut off, and doesn''t roll down completely afterwards. Is it a good place to ask for help? I couldn''t find any Scriptaculous forum (only

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 need to let my users change their password using PAM to preserve the existing ldap authentication system. How can I force pam to sync the smb password to the unix one. I am running Fedora 7 package on an x86-64 system. I have smb working via ldap and sambasam.schema (v3.0.24) I have unix password sync = yes but it should not come into play as I never plan to reset passwords via smbd. In
