similar to: One user can't login on PDC without a network connection

I've setup a Samba PDC (3.0.28a). I can join the domain with a Windows XP sp3 laptop and logon with no problems, but if I try to logon while the laptop is not connected to the network, it will not allow it. "The system cannot log you on now because the domain DOMAIN is not available." I have the following policies set on the windows machine: Interactive logon: Number of previous

I am having troubles getting the user manager to add users. It gives me an incorrect parameter. I am using samba 3.0 final. I am also using the tdbsam backend. I noticed in pdbedit it does not have the [u ] under account flags. It adds the user, but it does not show up in the user manager for domains (but it gets put inside of the pwdb and /etc/passwd) here is my config. log

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 all. I've just installed samba-3.0.1-rc1 as a PDC and I can add computers ( win2k ) to the domain, but when users log on, they get an error: ... windows cannot locate your roaming profile ... or words to that effect. My smb.conf is: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NUS server string = Samba Server %v bind interfaces only = true interfaces =

Hi all, I've been using samba for a few years now on a couple of file servers with a tdbsam backend for our user accounts. We use openldap for the vast majority of our identity management, so I would love to be able to tie into this. We recently started using sambaNTPassword in openldap for radius authentication, so this is populated for most of our users now. >From reading through

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

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles. I used the smbldap tools. First there is the question if I should use add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" with the -a (is a Windows User) option. If I don't, then windows account

I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to

High there ... I cannot join my Samba PDC any longer with my XP-machines, I mean I'm not be able to create new machine accounts. The existing machine-accounts in the tdb-database works properly, all the existing XP-machines are joined without any problems. Only it isn't possible to joint the Samba PCD with new machines... My first Samba PDC-Configuration with this tdbsam as the passwd

Dear Samba Friends, I've a problem to join with Windows2000-Clients a Samba-PDC. When I join the samba-pdc with a WinNT4.0-Client it is no problem, first I create a machine-account for the machine: 1. in /etc/group exists the group: machines:x:515: 2. useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c nickname -s /bin/false neuch205$ 3. pdbedit -a -m -u neuch205 In this way, it isn't a problem to join

I'm trying to set up a samba PDC. I've been following the directions in "The Official Samab-3" book. I still don't understand how to add users! I'm using tdbsam and I set up all the add user scripts and what not in the smb.conf. pdbedit won't let me do anything unless I add the user with adduser(what's the point of the scripts?) and even when I add the user by

I'm having trouble setting the Workstations value on a tdbsam backend using pdbedit. I can't seem to find the correct syntax to accomplish this. I found some references in an older version of the HOWTO where there existed "Chapter 10. Account Information Databases". This whole chapter is missing from the current HOWTO even though it is referenced in the newest version (a

Hi, I've recently reinstalled our Samba server with a view to getting it working as a PDC using the tdbsam backend.
