Hi, We've had a problem using Samba 3.3.2 and windows 2000 workstations sp4. After many tests, it was discovered that when the netbios name has an hyphen the windows 2000 workstations don't see the groups on the samba domain, but when the name is changed for one without hyphen the error doesn't occur. How to reproduce the problem? - Configure samba 3.3.2 as domain controller - Fill

Hello everyone! I'm having problem with the parameter ldap passwd sync = yes. If my ldapsam points to a master ldap server, it works perfectly. If it points to a slave ldap server, the samba attributes are update but not the userpassword. I'm using samba 3.4.3 with Fedora Directory 1.2. Viewing the log files I saw same strange messages when I trying to change my password: [2009/12/08

Dear all, I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a lot of users and machines are missing ! Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly well. The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a new server... TECHNICAL DETAILS : * Samba 3.3.10 * Number of machines : * Unix : 128 machines * pdbedit

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

I have recompiled pdbedit 3.0.2 with -g flag to be able to list sources from gdb when debugging pdbedit and discovered some more info but don't know how to interpret it: (gdb) frame 1 #1 0x0806c899 in init_sam_from_buffer (sampass=0x81b8c28, buf=0x81b8d78 "", buflen=208) at passdb/passdb.c:1462 1462 SAFE_FREE(domain); (gdb) print domain $8 = 0x10000 <Address

Dear Samba Users, I have a Samba 3.2.5 Server running on Debian. I use tdbsam as a password database and wonder how I can change the "Workstations" value in order to control the allowed workstations for a particular user. Last year I had a configuration with ldap using the smbldap tools where it was possible to set this value. But how can I set it without LDAP just using pdbedit?

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

Hi everyone... Can somebody help me? I've sent this last Sunday but nobody has replied.

Thank you very much for your answer. It's the default, internal backend. (smbpasswd) a) If I do : tdbdump schannel_store.tdb dump | grep BWPC |grep SECRET | wc I get 95 machines (this number looks good). b) smbpasswd is a text file that looks good. c) I can also do "tdbdump secrets.tdb dump" Thanks a lot in advance for any advice, Denis Le 15.12.2014 22:00, Gaiseric

Who wins the fight for the roaming profile path, "logon path" in smb.conf or "profile path" set by pdbedit? How do you force the "profile path" in pdbedit to get its value from "logon path" in smb.conf? Is it possible to disable roaming profiles by user with pdbedit and leave "logon path" set in smb.conf? Thanks.

Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password"

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000. But when I do: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -m -u somemachinename -U 3000 It does not work as you would think. The account is created but with the RID of the Unix UID*2+1000 not, a RID of 3000 as specificed on the command line. And

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from a SME server to an Ubuntu 10.04 Domain names are the same (domain SID already retrieved) example User john on SME server has SID S-1-5-21-1222067456-3914006320-3959678504-11026 User john on Ubuntu server has SID S-1-5-21-1222067456-3914006320-3959678504-3010 Not to loose Windows profiles, I'm trying to modify john's SID on Ubuntu server : pdbedit -u

When I set the 'maximum password age' to 0, my password expired immediately after I did a smbpasswd. Shouldn't setting it to 0 mean the password will never expire? Or are there any other way to set password to never expire? Here is the microsoft's interpretation on 'maximum password age':

dear list, in the output of pdbedit -L -v heupink I'm getting these errors: convert_string_allocate: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(???p? ????????) Any ideas where to look..? Are these serieus errors..? (it looks as if the errors occur BEFORE the actual ldap connection is opened, so I guess they're not ldap related...) My samba is 3.0.14a, and system is sles9 Below find

hi list, we want to migrate all our users from smbpasswd into ldap, but first test it so the current samba server in production should not be changed. to achieve this i created a smb.conf file with the following content: --- [smb.conf] [global] workgroup = mpi netbios name = sandy01 netbios aliases = sandy02 sandy03 interfaces = 10.4.0.106/255.255.0.0 bind interfaces only = yes socket

the testparm command will show you the location of the password file and the backend type e.g. smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd passdb backend = tdbsam The backend file should be a TDB database file , not a plain text file (unless left over from an older version.) You may have users or computers with duplicated SIDs. You should also use "getent

Hi. I'm using pdbedit to edit users accounts and everything works fine. But when I'm trying to use pdbedit to edit domain account policies I'm receiving the following error: pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4 smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=MYDOMAIN))] StartTLS issued: using a TLS connection
