Looking through this chapter today and ran across the following inconsistency under the section NT4 Migration Using LDAP Backend. Step 3 says "3. Create a file called preload.LDIF as shown in Example 8.1. Edit the contents so that the domain name and SID are correct for the site being installed." Then step 4 says "4. Preload the LDAP database so it is ready to receive the

Now, TOSHARG-ChangeNotes.xml translate to Japanese finished(3.4.0 base). And some typo found. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assume that a group named <emphasis>developers</emphasis> exists with a UNIX GID of 782. In this case this user does not exist in Samba's group mapping table. It would be perfectly normal for ----group?

Hi All, Has any one got an idea of how to make clients automatically find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running by Samba authenticating again a LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. I can see that the replication is of

Hi. I'm having some trouble when trying to join a SAMBA machine, acting as a member server, to a NT-style domain server managed by a SAMBA PDC using an LDAP back-end. Both machines are running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.1 Update 3 for AMD64. When trying to add the member server to the domain, it fails with an error message. However, if I try to add it again, the

Hi there, I am reading the Samba3-By-Example dated 29Dec2005. I've found that there's no information on telling how to make a successful deployment on interdomain trust, but this is the missing Chapter that I am really looking for. Anyway, my question is beside Winbind, do I need to configure krb5 on Samba (Domain A) when talking to Win2003SP1 on Domain B? Best Wishes and Happy New Year

I have spent a solid two weeks trying to implement the "Secure Office Networking" example in the book "Samba-3 by Example, to no avail. In the example, the system sets the server up as a Samba PDC, and also as a router for two local subnets. There are three network interfaces on the computer: eth0 for the WAN/Internet, firewalled; eth1 & eth2 for two LAN subnets, bound to

Hi, I got samba 3.0.26a on my Fedora 7, and when i try to add users with smbpasswd -a username, it only works if the user exists as a linux user... i got a Centos 4.4 system with samba 3.0.10 and it works even if the user doesn't exists on the system. Can anyone explain me why this happens? is it from this new version (3.0.26a) or may be a problem of Fedora 7?

We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc. We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those

Hi All, I am going through a setup of a test samba3 box with rh9 with my self rolled copy of 3.0.10. I have removed the old rpm version of samba. I compiled 3.0.10 with all defaults except for the install prefix which I set to /usr/local/samba3. I followed the steps given in Chap 6 - making users happy in the online html version. I changed a few things. Instead of MASSIVE as the PDC name I

Hi, I'm tyrying to set up a Samba PDC with LDAP backend, i followed the excellent samba guide on the chapter making users happy, the problem is according to the guide when I execute the smbpasswd -w "secret" command, the expected outcome is Setting stored password for "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" in secrets.tdb but what i get is Setting stored password for ""

Hi all, Will keep this brief :-) Just trying to clear some things up regarding winbind. wbinfo -u returns "Error looking up domain users". I'm only using winbind for ntlm_auth which works fine. I'm not using AD or any Windows server-based domain. Samba only. There don't seem to be any obvious errors in the winbind log. Do I need to worry about that error? Should it

Hi, I am using Samba 3.0.10 PDC with LDAP as password DB. Before we use smbpasswd as passwd DB and every time I need to add a machine account into /etc/passwd so that the mahcine can join the domain. My understanding for LDAP is, this step is not needed any more since we will put all machine account into "ou=Computers". But I am proved to be wrong. Is this the way Samba works? I

I am testing out Debian Etch, and ran into an issue granting SeMachineAccountPrivilege to an account... which granting that permission had been troublesome in the past. The command I am issuing is: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege And I try running the command with an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins" group. The command returns: Failed to

I am looking for the most efficient way to replace all occurrences of NaN in a data frame with NA. I can do this with a double loop, but it seems that there should be a higher level and more efficient way. With is.na, I could use ifelse, but if.nan seems not to have similar capabilities.

I upgraded a server from Debian Sarge to Etch the other day. Today I discovered a fairly major issue... All the shares I had set up for guest access have stopped working. The shares are meant to be writable by me and a few others, and read only for guest, but it's flat out refusing to authenticate anyone using guest (or unknown users which should be mapping to guest). SMB.conf is below

Hi, I had to install a new Samba server (3.0.23b). Home dir and account were copied. I join a machine to the domain, but the stored profiles do not work. How can I debug that (in which log files)? I checked the usual suspect: permissions; they seem ok to me. Thanks, Marc Delisle
