hello & thx for your fast response! i need a way to create samba shares without creating system user accounts: - add users via smbpasswd with unique password - no need for a corresponding useraccount in /etc/passwd - access to the corresponding shares should be independent from any domain (i.e. the share should be accessable via windows client) to come around the useraccount-restriction (as

Hello all, I've added my windows7 client to the domain (samba running as pdc), having applied the registry changes identified here (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7). Partial success - domain users can login and see shares etc, BUT: 1 - the registry settings in ntlogon/NTConfig.POL are not applied. Am I right in thinking that windows 7 ignores this policy?

Hi all, I am migrating a Samba 3 domain from an ageing server to a new server. I've exported all users from the old server and imported them on the new server using the following command (LDAP to TdbSam): pdbedit -i ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 -e tdbsam:/tmp/tdbsam.agix scp /tmp/tdbsam.agix new.server.local:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb I've set the same SID on the new server.

I am writing this here because I did not get a reply to my help requests earlier and managed to solve this by myself. I have a Win2003 server and a Linux box running Samba 3.0.5 as PDC. The problem I had was that domain users could not log in through Terminal Services. Local users could use TS just fine and even domain users could log in locally, but not through TS. In addition, there were

Hi all, I have been trying to get my RHEL 4.0 machine to act as a Windows NT domain controller so that I can get rid of some old NT 4.0 servers. I have the shares and permissions working without issue. The only problem is that I cannot get a Windows 2000 workstation to register to the Samba domain controller. I have gone through everything that I can think of, and have gone through more

What is the recommend method with a samba pdc to give users local administrator access to their workstations? In Samba4 / Active Directory I can use a group policy. For Samba I can add 'Domain Users' to the local administrator group following these instructions. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/groupmapping.html#id2598630Is there a better way to do this?

Please help, I am experiencing a weird error when trying to join a winXP Pro workstation to my samba3 + LDAP Domain.

Hi, recently I got my samba/ldap/pdc setup up and running with xp clients. Server: centos 5.5, openldap-2.3.43-12 and samba3x-3.3.8.
