Hi, i have a question about syncing without pdbedit (exactly iformations stored in passdb.tdb) and /etc/passwd. I creating user with some comment, for example adduser test -c "my comment" -d /home/users/test -g 600 -s /bin/false and then i will add this user to samba pdbedit -a -s /etc/samba/smb.conf -u test Now i have stored in samba also comment "my comment", but why?

Hi guys/girls, How are you ? I've been struggling to get my users' passwords to expire. My configuration is samba-3.0 running with the standard smbpasswd back-end. Everything that I can find on the web says I should set the following to expire my users passwords after 28 days.: pdbedit -v -P 'minimum password age' -C 300 pdbedit -v -P 'maximum password age' -C 2419200

Let's keep this on list please... See if you can connect as samba user from samba box... smbclient -L WHATEVER_YOUR_SERVER_NAME -U Administrator smbclient -L WHATEVER_YOUR_SERVER_NAME -U Michael but note - casing is rather odd and might be your problem. UNIX is case sensitive but Windows/Samba is not case sensitive... therefore Samba will see 'Michael' as 'michael' and

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

I'm not sure when the last time I run smbpasswd to change the user password, however when I run it only change NT and LM hash attribute, not the unix passwd attributes. smb.conf: ... passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1" unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/passwd.pl %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

You think Microsoft's mailing lists and forums are better? Just wait (and wait, and and ...). Oh, that's right, you can call Microsft for help ,,, and shell out $295 per.

On my Samba PDC, using tdbpass: 'pdbedit -Lv agrotera$' produces: Unix username: agrotera$ NT username: Account Flags: [W ] User SID: S-1-5-21-4211105910-4270789338-3787013593-1414 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-4211105910-4270789338-3787013593-513 ..... 'getent passwd agrotera$' gives: agrotera$:x:207:200:SMB

Hi, I have running LDAP + SAMBA as PDC on gentoo and I have problem with adding machine account. Whem I try add machine account with pdbedit -am 'hostname' I have this error: smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=OFFICE.KENS.PL))] smbldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server

I have am hitting a wall with pdbedit, as shown below. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. I am encountering the inability to change any users (profile) SID on Samba 3.x for Linux and BSD, which causes the accounts to no longer recognize their local Samba 2 profiles once they join Samba 3 domain. If I add a new user and pdbedit -a user -U SID it ignores the -U. The old profiles appear

Hi, I've tried to search for the problem on the lists without finding a solution. I'm trying to recreate a crashed PDC system on a new system with samba 3.0.4. It is a small domain and I use tdbsam as a backend. No LDAP (yet ;). I could actually retrieve the old SIDs from a backup file, and also the smb.conf file. All other files was though lost :( I managed to give the new domain (PDC)

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 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

Hello I have samba-3.0.2 installed into /usr/local/samba/ by means of cd /usr/src/samba-3.0.2/source ./configure --with-acl-support make make install When I run pdbedit -L I get a segfault: oberon root # pdbedit -L Segmentation fault (core dumped) This occurs after samba of unknown version from these two: 3.0.1pre2 3.0.2 has been reinstalled with samba-3.0.2 (gdb) bt #0 0x400f9bf9 in free

Dear Gaiseric, Yes, according to testparm the backend is a plain text file : smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passdb backend = smbpasswd Therefore I wonder where the User SIDs are stored ?! About "getent passwd", yes all users (active users at least) have a Unix account. About the users that are missing in pdbedit, there is not error in smb.log when they log in. (But I

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

[Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ] I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password. If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd" command and it would edit the file. But with a backend, that's not available to me. The "pdbedit" command will

And I must admin that I really don't know where to search. Does someone knows where pdbedit is reading the information displayed ?
