I have Samba and LDAP up and running, but I'm having problems editing the password policy using pdbedit. (I'm running 3.0.22) I've had a look at the man page for pdbedit but I don't really fully understand what it does in relation to passwd backends. Does pdbedit update just one backend and expect a user to export the updates to other backends? I think I've set up ldap as

Have IdealX.org lost their domain? it seems to have been pinched by some company selling domains. Site is partially mirrored at Idealx.com but stil links to idealx.org. Replace idealx.org urls with idealx.com but the samba downloadable stuff isn't there at the moment. Duncan

My root account keeps getting locked out automatically. I am running Samba 3.0.25b on a CentOS server, as PDC with LDAP backend. I have accounts set to lock after 8 un-successful login attempts. I zeroed out the bad password count, and then in less than a few seconds the account gets locked again and a /pdbedit -Lv -u root /yields the following: Unix username: root Logon time:

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema.

Hi samba admins, I don?t know is this the right place for my question, but I can?t find a list for my problem. I have some trobble to configure the smbldap-tools. I have download and copy the scripts to /usr/local/sbin. But a /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl testuser breaks with this error message: get_user_dn2: error in ldapsearch : /usr/bin/ldapsearch -x -h _SLAVELDAP_ -D '_BINDDN_'

Not sure if this is the place to post this but....I'm just going through the process of installing Samba and LDAP using the current version of Chapter 6: Making Users Happy (http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2557011 <http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2557011> ) I found one error in the Install and Configure Idealx smbldap-tools

I have a solaris 9 box that I am configuring to be a PDC using the latest version of samba authenticating off of an Openldap db. This machine uses the same ldap server to authenticate the unix users but after following documentation for setting up samba/ldap PDC. Using smbldap-populate populated the database with no problems but when I try and run smblclient -L master I get the following

Hi, I am trying to set up a SAMBA PDC using LDAP for authentication.

OK I'm confused. Can machines be in ou=Computers,dc=somewhere,dc=net ? Every thing works fine if I configure so that machine accounts are created under ou=Users. If configured for machines to be in ou=Computers, I can't add a new machine. Error returned is "The user name could not be found." This is from the w2k machine itself. The release notes for 3.0.11 seem to say adding

I'm running a Samba Primary Domain Controller, with an LDAP backend. I'm currently using the smbldap-tools from IDEALX, and is searching for a GUI to manage the users instead. I've been looking at the IMC Samba-Console, also from IDEALX, but this doesn't have any rpm's for RHEL v4, and building of the source keeps getting errors. An rpm for RHEL or another GUNI would be most

Well, I am still having problems with my samba server. For some reason, I cannot add all of the users in. I am running a batch useradd program. I can get about 450 or so added in, then it gives me an error that the user does not exist when I go to add the last 60 or so. My batch program actually reads in the users name and then does something like: /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -a -u

Hi, I've read a few manuals, and it got me confused on what's the correct way to mimic NT PDC, and I hope someone can help me. According to IDEALX Samba PDC Guide 1) Samba 2.2 deal with only 2 groups, Domain Admins and Domain Users. Are these hardcoded or do I add to the domain admin group? Do I add it such as domain admin group = "Domain Admins"? 2) Seems that from the

I've tried numerous times but cannot get Vampire to bring across all groups or add users to all groups that they belong to. Sometimes I get everygroup except 1, other times not so lucky.

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

I'm trying to configure a Samba3/OpenLDAP2.1.x PDC following the very sparse documentation that is out there with little success. My current issue is finding a set of tools that will work successfully with Samba3 and the new samba.schema that works with OpenLDAP2.1.x. I've been trying recently to get the IDEALX tools to work, but without success. Does anyone have any suggestions on

Hi all, I'm having a problem with an upgrade of Samba running on a Redhat4 Update 4 system. The default installation provides only 3.0.10 which doesn't include the privilege model or a number of fixes including some in 3.0.21a and 3.0.23 which it looks like we'll need. The system runs in PDC mode with user accounts in an ldap database. On a test system which I'm using to

Hello and happy new year :) I have to set up a samba server as a PDC with a openldap backend. My openldap server is fully functionnal and it is not secured yet (so no problems with tls). I must use debian etch or lenny. My server's IP is 192.168.9.10/24. I have set up a dns server (bind9) for my domain named "mik". It's a local domain for testing only. There is a piece of
