Hello, I have two servers with SAMBA 3.0.24-30 (PDC and BDC) and OpenLdap (MASTER and SLAVE) and now I want to remove the wins servers (in Windows NT) and put samba4wins in the PDC and other samba4wins in the BDC replicating, but I dont know how to do a correct configuration for samba4wins, and i Don't find a good howto or tutorial or documentation to do that. Somebody has a

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

I installed samba4wins on two of my Fedora Core 3 servers (from src rpm), on one PDC (samba 3.0.21c) and on one standalone server without samba, in order to test samba4wins. I think I managed to install and to setup properly the software but it seems nmblookup is not working on the PDC samba: [user]$ nmblookup '*' querying * on 192.168.19.255 name_query failed to find name *

Hello all, I have 2 PC setup as PDC and BDC (both Centos5, with samba 3.0.23c-2). The problem is, quite often client logon to BDC instead of PDC. I tried to tweak the OS level, but seems not affecting the problem. My understanding is that BDC will only taking charge of client logons when PDC is unavailable. Or is it that BDC will work hand-in-hand at the same time with PDC regarding domain

Hi all, we have got 4 Samba Servers. All BDCs for "MYDOMAIN", except by SERVER3 that is a PDC. All of them have 3 physical Network interfaces, from which 2 are used by samba. Each of them has a several ip aliases, except by SERVER1 which has only primary ip numbers on its interfaces. When I try to join a new Windows client (XP SP3) to the domain. It asks our wins server for

Hi people. I have finally my PDC+BDC running with LDAP+replicaon different subnets. My doubts are simple, I want to understand a little more about BDC. My network is this: Domaine Name=DOMA Networks:NET-A 192.168.40.0/24 NET-B 192.168.50.0/24 PDC=192.168.40.2 BDC=192.168.50.2 wins server = PDC As u can see, both serves exist on different subnets,I want to

Hello Lads, Problem could be smbldap-tools, im using 0.97. I have manually set the sid on the bdc which seems to work. I am confused because I thought net rpc getsid stored the sid from the pdc on the bdc in secrets. I wasn't aware that net getlocalsid should return identical results on both pdc & bdc. Please explain this - why isnt the BDC obtaining the sid automatic as it should

hi, i read about samba4wins, which is really a great work from the team! do you know, if this will work with samba v3.0.14a? i ask because a german news service writes that it?s only possible with 3.0.21 (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/69132), but i can?t find this information in the notes on http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS/samba4wins-1.0.0-16/ thx for helping me! -- Michael

Hi all, I have a BDC which uses the LDAP backend of my PDC. Unfortunately all the users who log-in in the morning and who are processed by this BDC, do not get their logon script executed. The BDC logs this error message: [2013/05/24 07:28:11.946577, 2] auth/auth.c:304(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [foobar] -> [foobar] -> [foobar] succeeded

I have a Samba PDC working fine (NetBios name FI0X07) and I'm trying setting up a Samba BDC but I can't have it working!! The problem is: - if a set the BDC NetBIOS name the same as PDC, if I shut down the PDC the BDC works but if the PDC is restarted the BDC doesn't stop autenticating users. - if a set the BDC NetBIOS name different if I stop the PDC the BDC doesn't authenticate

Hey all, might be a tad bit off topic to samba, but not entirely unlrelated. Anyhow, as I understand it, the task of a BDC is to process most if not all of the domain logons before a PDC does so is it not? It has been my understanding that the BDC generally accepts and processes domain logons before the PDC does on a network to keep the load down on the PDC until such time as the BDC cannot

Hello everyone, I am faced with a samba related problem, I have set up a PDC with a ldap backend. This PDC is working perfectly. I have also set up another samba box to act as my BDC. The BDC is working correctly as well. PDC:192.168.1.1 BDC:192.168.1.2 My PDC is currently sharing a few file shares. I would like my BDC to host a few file shares as well. I share the file like this,(this is in

I have had a samba PDC up and running for about a month now with no issues, this weekend I added a BDC and it seems that all my clients are now logging into the BDC automatically instead of the PDC. I had to mount the homes from the PDC to the BDC so that users can have access to their home directories and set the path to the profiles directory on the BDC to that of the PDC. I also had to

I have installed samba4wins with samba 3.0.21 and I don?t know how to configure it (I tried what says the howto.txt but it didnt work). I wanted to know if someone has alredy used samba4wins and made it work. In that case please contact me, so I can ask you some questions. Thank you Gabriela

Hi all I have a samba 3.0.21c with openldap backend as PDC on subnet 192.168.129.0(mypdc). i have configured Backup Domain Controller on subnet 192.168.130.0(mybdc) subnet for the same domain. but if i do nmblookup from pdc to the bdc, it's getting failed and viceversa. and from bdc, >From BDC , we are unable to browse system added to PDC on the subnet 192.168.129.0. I have enabled IP

I believe I've set up a machine as a BDC for a Samba PDC and I'm trying to test that. Doc sources are the Samba3 Howto and Samb3 by example. net lookup dc (run on bdc or other samba server)lists 2 IP's that indicate that it is in fact a BDC. net lookup dc 172.21.1.10 172.21.1.30 However nltest on an XP machine reveals: C:\>nltest /dclist:CMT Domain 'CMT' is pre Windows

Now,TOSHARG-BDC.xml translate to Japanese finished. and Some bug found. Samba-3 can act as a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to another Samba Primary Domain Controller (PDC). A Samba-3 PDC can operate with an LDAP account backend. The LDAP backend can be either a common master LDAP server or a slave server. The use of a slave LDAP server has the benefit that when the master is down, clients may

I've the read docs and one thing I'm still not clear on: is Samba required to be installed before I install samba4wins, or not? Second question: once I get samba4wins installed, how does one add static WINS entries to the database? Thanks, GFreeman
