I have the following setup: PDC: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC1: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC2: Samba 3.4.3 on Solaris 10 Samba 3.0.37 is the bundled version of Samba. Samba 3.4.3 is compiled from source. BDC2 is a recent addition to the network. All machine use LDAP as the backend for everything. They use winbind to handle a domain trust with another domain, but otherwise

I have compiled Samba 3.0.25a from source on a Solaris 10 machine. I had previously been testing Samba 3.0.24 (from packages on www.sunfreeware.com) and have reused the smb.conf file. Otherwise this is a clean setup, not an upgrade. The server is configured as a PDC for my domain "SAMBADOMAIN" I created a samba password for the local root and administrator accounts. I joined the

Hello everyone, the time for me to use a OpenLDAP server is getting closer ( :( yikes..I'm still scared sorta) , I currently have a Samba PDC with tdbsam with 50 users goes fine, our company will grow (doing our best) in this year by a minimum of 25-30 computers, and I've stuided the TOSHARG , and it says that for every 50 computer a bdc is suggested. The questions : 1.how does

I have a samba domain with a Samba 3.4.x PDC (compiled from source on Solaris 10) and two Samba 3.0.x BDC's (Sun-bundled Samba on Solaris 10.) XP clients use DHCP. When on the LAN, DHCP includes WINS server (the WINS server is one of the Samba 3.0.x machines.) We also have a VPN for remote client access for Windows XP machines. XP machines could include home PC's (not in the domain)

If I configure a samba PDC and then a samba BDC, do I need a machine trust account for the BDC? That is, do I have to run "net rpc join" on the BDC? Or manually create the account for the BDC in LDAP? -- Mariano Absatz - "El Baby" el.baby at gmail.com www.clueless.com.ar

People, some of the machines of my network aren't been listed in (Windows Explorer - Network icon). I made a research and I found the following: - try to activate some services: SSDP Discovery; UPnP Device Host; Function Discovery Resource Publication. Note: this situation happens with machines that were joined to the domain and with others that weren't added to

Hi all, I'm rather new to samba and trying to deploy a PDC/BDC Setup for our company. Got some books and the manpages here to help me :) The config-files are attached at the end of this mail. Used Samba is 3.2.7-11.6 on a SLES11 system. The PDC is running as ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC says testparm, the BDC as ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC. Both DCs use a LDAP (OpenLDAP 2.4.12-7) for user authentication. The LDAP

I am upgrading from 3.0.37 to 3.5.9 on the same server and need some advice. I am running Solaris 10 on a domain server that services 10 XP and Win 7 clients. The existing Samba directory structure is not standard. I believe the engineer who built the Solaris install transferred all Samba 2.0 directories from the old server to the current server and then created additional directories for the

Is this Samba 3 or Samba 4? If samba 3, which ldap server are you using> What is the mail server? Does the mail server have its own LDAP server included it or is also using an external LDAP server. If you want replication between LDAP servers, they should be the same type of LDAP server (e.g. OpenLDAP or Apache Directory Server or Oracle Directory Server.) If you have one

I am running Samba 3.4.8 as a PDC on Solaris 10. I recently made this the WINS master- previously the BDC (Samba 3.0.37 on another Solaris 10 server.) I also use Sonicwall ipsec VPN for remote access (Windows XP clients.) The sonicwall client creates a virtual NIC on the client so that the client can have an IP address directly on the company LAN (ie. the same LAN as the samba

This is probably a frequent problem, but I haven't been able to find an answer. I recently installed samba 2.0.5a on Sun Solaris 2.6 server. There is only one share on the server that I want to be accessible. I have set up the share using the following smb.conf file: (obviously, the specific info has been changed). [global] netbios name = XXX #Server has different name guest account =

I currently have several fresh installs of XP that will connect to shares, but will not reconnect after a workstation reboot. These are workstations that are not joined to the domain. Only accessing shares from a local profile, but using the same user/pass to login as to connect to Samba. I get various errors at that point. Upon reboot, attempting to access the share generates: "An error

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

Hello, I'm trying to integrate some of our Solaris 10 10/09 hosts into Microsoft AD running on 2003/2008 R2 servers. After some compile trouble I finally managed to get the whole thing running including winbind in nsswitch.conf for users and groups and PAM for authentication. The problem is that winbind only reports the primary group of an AD user. 'wbinfo -r aduser' only reports

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC test-bdc:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config

Good Morning I am looking to download the Samba 3.0.23d binary for Solaris. When I go to the area that is set up for binaries, there is nothing under the Sparc folder. Is there another place I can get the binary? Thanks in advance for your help. Barb Fair Lockheed Martin Valley Forge, PA 610-531-5442

Hi, (I posted this question about 6 months ago and never really got anywhere with it so I thought I'd try again.) We're using Samba as a WINS server. Windows servers appear to correctly register themselves and I can look them up e.g. with nmblookup. However some servers lose their registration after 5 days. And it's the same servers, about 4 (of about 25 servers and 200

update: - fixed smbd for win95-style profile-locating (it now works, thank you to everyone who sent in log files to get this fixed) - various modes tested and confirmed as working: * ROLE_STANDALONE security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain master = no domain logons = no * ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain master = yes
