similar to: Change Allowed Workstations with pdbedit

I'm having trouble setting the Workstations value on a tdbsam backend using pdbedit. I can't seem to find the correct syntax to accomplish this. I found some references in an older version of the HOWTO where there existed "Chapter 10. Account Information Databases". This whole chapter is missing from the current HOWTO even though it is referenced in the newest version (a

Hi, I'm trying to add static entries to the wins.dat file, as per The Official Samba 3 How-to guide but can't get it to work. If I add entries and just leave it be, the server responds with unknown host and If I restart nmbd it removes all the entries (static) that I manually added. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ? Brett

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 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

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 ! This is my firs post here. I've got a problem with password history policy -C 3 which doesn't work !! I set policy pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 777600 (90days) pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 691200 (80days) "user must logon to change password" -C 2 "password history" -C 3 On clients (XP PRO) some of people

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.

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

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

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

Any ideas why this is not working? [root at host67 ~]# pdbedit -u testuser -h \\\\five-68\\testuser -p \\\\five-68\\testuser\\profile Unix username: testuser NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-369316088-3201261441-1704813131-2216 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-369316088-3201261441-1704813131-513 Full Name: Home Directory: \\host67\testuser

I am trying to set up roaming profiles and I got it working. Could someone confirm if Samba variables work or do not work in the user database. If I do the following option: pdbedit -s -u username -p "\\\\servername\\sharename\\profilename" my roaming profiles work fine but I have to direclty specify the server name and username. If I do not double up all the "\" it does not

Hello, I'm using samba 3.2.41 at Debian Lenny. I have some users in my smbpasswd file, now I'm trying to force them to change password once a given period. #pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 300 Above-mentioned command is affecting ONLY "new" users (users created after first first launch of this command), "old" users are not affected, passwords

I'm curious, why is it that most samba programs take -U as the username flag, but pdbedit uses -u?
