-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How does samba get Computers out of the Computers OU with out going through nss_ldap and doing getpwent? Isn't this pretty much the only way that Samba can get Machine accounts? I'm looking for a way to hide them from the Linux server. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------- | I can be reached on the

Hi all, We have a somewhat crufty Samba 3 PDC NT-style domain backed on to an OpenLDAP server that we use for both Linux and Windows 7 authentication, thanks to the magic of ldapsam and smbk5pwd. I am investigating the feasability of moving to Samba 4 and have tried upgrading with the classicupgrade tool in both the Samba 4.0.0 packages in Debian unstable and also with GIT v4-0-stable

Hi, We're being hit by occasional very high load (up to 23 on a SUN Fire v440) on our LDAP server coming from a query of (objectClass=posixAccount). This currently returns over 54,000 entries ... This is coming from the getpwent() call in util_getent.c:getpwent_list() This is coming from srv_samr_nt.c:get_memberuids() But we're having trouble working out what triggers this call: it

Hi, I'm trying to run samba 2.2.6 + OpenLDAP as user/group database ( not /etc/passwd). nss_ldap+pam_ldap is installed and working OK, as I can login using ssh, or trough console with one of ldap user. But trying to connect to samba, when samba is ran as #samba -d 2 -i I get: ... init_sam_from_ldap: User [ldapuser] does not ave a uid! pass_check_smb failed - invalid password for user

It seems my logins are taking a long time to get logged in. I am guessing that it is worse when classes start and a lot of the kids try to login at once. My old server did not seem to have this problem though and we have the same number of students. Where should I start looking at this? I am guessing that it is ldap, but want to make sure. If I log in at a computer and go to start->run and

Hello, We have some strange problem which could be related to authentication here. All our user info is in an openldap directory. We normally use pam/getpwent in dovecot to access our user accounts, via nss_ldap/pam_ldap, but we tried to connect directly to the ldap server, with the very same results. We have one user (out of 100) which just cannot use dovecot with pop3. His

* distro: ubuntu breezy ( 6.06 ) * samba version: shipped version with updates ( 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 ) * no ssl * openLDAP is running on the same machine as samba, and referenced as localhost/127.0.0.1 where applicable ( 2.2.26-5ubuntu2.1 ) * nscd is not installed, much less running I've set up a samba pdc with ldap by following the Samba Guide very closely, adapting it to Ubuntu/Debian where

Hi list, I've seen this error now many times (at my own setup and in the archives): sam_account_ok: Checking SMB password for user Simon Dassow [2004/03/05 12:54:19, 1] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(821) User Simon Dassow in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

Hi, It seems that the user account must also be in the /etc/passwd when I autentication in Ldap/samba. I have in my Ldap database the Posixaccount. My samba log file: [2004/03/18 07:22:56, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(674) init_sam_from_ldap: User [marcone] does not ave a uid! If I have this user in /etc/passwd the autentication is Ok, but I will only autentication in ldap

I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it only shows up to certain number of

When I try to join a domain from a win2k client to a samba 3.0.5 PDC, I get the message "User not found". I use ldapsam, which works fine in all other respects. The strange thing is that the smbldap-useradd scripts terminates with 0, the machine account is created under "ou=systems" in the ldap database - all looks fine. Then a ldap search is triggered with a base

Hello, I have a question about machine accounts. I using Samba 3.0, OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and Berkeley 4.2.52 on backend on RedHat machines. I also have 3 slave/BDC's and 1 master/PDC Right now all of my users and groups exist entirely in the LDAP directory. I have a few accounts in addition to the normal system accounts that are used for emergency access. All authention and group enumeration uses

Hi, I'm using Samba 2.2.4 with LDAP support (OpenLDAP 2.0.23), and with pam_ldap included in the rpm nss_ldap 1.86 from Redhat (I'm on Linux Redhat 7.2). All these things are working well (I use the same object SambaAcount under PosixAccount in order to authenticate all these things), but a problem appears when I'm trying to list all the accounts and groups from my Win2000

On our campus, we have an AD forest. Our particular department has a number of samba servers that authenticate to one tree of that AD forest. All of our users have accounts in LDAP for unix and AD for windows. We don't want/need winbind for authentication. However, we would like the ability of setting ACLs on the samba server from windows clients. So, I assume I need a mapping of unix

Hi, I would like to create samba only domain and have centralized samba+system users database in LDAP (using posixaccount+sambaccont). Does samba uses NSS to find users/groups info? I mean, can I have system with users in LDAP, but not in /etc/passwd? Thanks, -- Saulius Gurklys

hi list, may be it's a stupid question, because it's written in smb.conf but i don't understand the description of the following parameters ** winbind enum users (G) On large installations using winbindd(8) it may be necessary to suppress the enumeration of users through the setpwent(),getpwent() andendpwent() group of system calls. If the

I think this might be caused by glibc 2.28. I saw a similar error with the "doveadm purge" command after upgrading my system to that version.

Hi guys, I've installed openldap-2.1.25 and Samba-3.0.2 and configured everything with no TLS on a Slackware-9.1 Linux box. To manage the LDAP backed I've used smbldap-tools-0.8.4. After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be
