Sorry everyone for asking this stupid question. I want add a system account to my debian system. I did it on another machine a couple of months ago and it worked fine with this command (I think). Iam typing the command: adduser MACHINENAME$ but I keep on getting this error mssg: adduser: Please enter a username consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers. Use the

This problem doesn't seem to affect the client's connectivity but I am not sure if it signals a larger problem. I started noticing this error: Unable to open new log file /var/log/samba/"machine".log Permission denied in the logs after upgrading to Samba version 3.0.21b. Any ideas?

Hello, I have created a machine trust account with the following command 'pdbedit -a -m -u machinename' and I noticed that after I execute the following command 'pdbedit -L -v -u machinename', the Unix username is in lowercase letters? Because when I attempt to join a domain with a Windows 8.1 machine, it emits a error that it can't find the Machine account? Does it

Hi there, just recently joined this list as I seem to be having a little trouble that I am hoping someone can help with. I recently installed a RHEL5.5 server and updated samba to samba3-3.4.11-42.el5.x86_64.rpm. I had never set up samba to authenticate with ADS so I read a little bit and dove right in. The server now works fine, so when I browse to \\machinename<file:///\\machinename> no

Hi Oliver, My opinion is that try delleting the machine name using the 'control center' and delete the machine account in the passwd file. Then add the machine name again using "control center, edit & creat users ", then In console add the machine using: # smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>. Note i managed to do this on SuSE 8.1. Please send me an email if u're

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

Heya, i got this problem with stubborn win98 machine refusing to show up on the browse list, my samba is the local/domain master browser and login server for the whole local network, using user security. the workstation has all the same protocols and settings like the other 6, only difference is the ip and the netbios name, the login used on that machine matches existing username on my linux

Hi, I have installed samba 3.5.4 on Centos 6 and have set it up to authenticate to a Windows 2008 Domain Controller. When I do a "su - some-domain-user", the home directory gets created. However, I want the home directory to be created when a user accesses the samba shares(no shell access). Following are the relevant configurations. What are the PAM changes I need to make? Help is much

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hello, I'm working with the samba-3.0.23c version currently released for use with RHEL-5. I'm trying to switch into ADS security from DOMAIN security and I'm having trouble with account mapping. Currently the mapping happens because the unix account name matches the windows account name. That no longer seems to be an option when you switch to ADS mode (please correct me if I'm

Hi All, The latest Debian unstable release of samba 3.0.1-1 appears to be fail in storing the machine account password when joining a 2000 AD domain. kinit user@realm works fine, as does net ads join suggesting the issue is not related kerberos misconfiguration. klist indicates no cached tickets, until kinit is used. and winbindd.log shows the following entries when winbindd starts.

Hi everyone! I've got Samba 2.2.5 installed in a network of 3 client machines all running xp pro. Everything works ok except "on-the-fly" machine account creation...from what I've read I need something like add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -M $u but this doesn't work for some reason. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or haven't

We did as root: # kinit 'machine-name$' # net ads join ... Unfortunately, it failed with an error that several attributes cannot be set which are available to domain admins only. It ultimately means that one cannot use pre-created
