Hi, I am trying to upgrade Samba from 3.3.2 to 3.3.9 for Win7 compatibility issue. It is running on Redhat 9.0 (I've planned to upgrade to Centos 5.5 in a second setp) and without any ldap backend (tdbsam actually). As I have already done in the past for upgrading, I have done the following procedure : 1) Compile 3.3.9 . My configure option are : ./configure --with-acl-support

Hello, All! I found that Samba checks description fields encoding at various tdb files to late. Case 1. FreeBSD with UTF-8 support. At some cases FreeBSD's adduser script can save incorrect UTF-8 sequence to GECOS /etc/passwd field. (Here is example http://www.acc.tula.ru/~acc107_3/samba/miscoding/gecos.txt) When user is added to Samba, Samba reads GECOS field "as is" without

Dear list, I have two problems managing groups from Win2kSP2 client using UserManager for domains. My Linux user and groups are stored in OpenLDAP using pam_ldap+nss_ldap from Padl. Due to the fact that the groups using the ou=Group organizationalUnit, I have set in smb.conf the "ldap group suffix = ou=Group" (using ldapsam as passdb backend). So the Linux group and the

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Heya all, So I've finally got a machine on this Samba 3 domain. Yey. Its an XP Pro box, so I grabbed the UsrMgr.exe and SrvMgr.exe programs from Microsoft, and hoped to at least use UsrMgr to see lists of users, maybe even as a full User manager, since I can't find a decent one that does all the samba3 stuff. Anyway, I'm on the domain, and I run the UsrMgr.exe program and I get an

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

I was experiencing the same problems as detailed below. I found that my OpenLDAP Samba (samba.schema) in /etc/ldap/schema was out of date; I have now replaced it with the latest version from the Samba source (3.0.23d). The correct number of domain groups are now reported with 'net rpc info' and the groups are visible from the Windows XP dialog boxes and USRMGR. Regards, Jon

PLEASE HELP!! I have got strange problem on samba-3.0.28-0.fc7 with logon hours and passwords policies .I use tdbsam backend. After changing time form winter to summer client's (windows XP) cannot login after 8:00AM ( time zone Warszawa/Poland UTC ). Linux and windows clients correctly changed time to summer (+1 hour)!!.

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

Hi Samba users, First I can't open/create local group with usrmgr. Second creating global group and user is working, [third] but adding users to this [global] group failed.. I do this as yaya that has policy rights for everything, like "Domain Admins" has, and when I do it as root, it still doesn't work. Here's some infos: [root@sma-server-1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba

I'm having problems adding users with usrmgr. I can run the scripts from my smb.conf fine from command line and do what I need to. But, when adding users with usrmgr, the login script and path statements are not identified and I have to go in and edit them manually. Does adding a user with usrmgr not use the add user script from Samba? Or must the user environment variables be added

Hi, We are running samba 3.0.28 on RHEL 5 as a PDC serving around 1000 active users . This domain was vampired from aWindows NT 4 domain a few years ago. OpenLDAP 2.2.13 is used as the back end user database. One of the problems we have is that usrmgr.exe does not display any groups. I can use usrmgr to create users, delete users and create groups. But I cannot use it to delete groups

Hi, I've now got my Samba 3 domain successfully configured apart from a minor detail. When I use USRMGR to try and add a new user I get "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". About 10 minutes ago I successfully joined this machine to the domain and tested that the server correct adds all my details to the LDAP server. I'm confused, if you tell

I am running samba 3.0.0. When using USRMGR most functionality works, but I can't get it to create a group. If I run the script by hand, it creates the UNIX group and echos out the GID. In Windows the error message is: "The following error occured creating the global group groupname: The group name could not be found" The delete user and delete group functions work, but give an

Hello, I am trying to find and easy way for end users to add Samba accounts to a Linux server. Some of my end users are schoot teachers, and they have to add tens of students to their Samba servers. I have a running Linux with Samba, configured upon the directions of Samba-3 by example, chapter 3, "Secure Office Networking", this is Samba with tdbsam, not LDAP. I can create accounts

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase

i built a samba/ldap pdc. i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser. it was made by a 'net rpc vampire' because i have to migrate from an NT4 domain. so if i understand well, 'net rpc vampire' creates unix groups with blank spaces but shouldnt ? unix groups are at the right of the groupmap list ? exact ? Do i have to correct unix groups in the ldap base and put
