I have been having a problem with 'net getdomainsid' on a machine that I set up to be a BDC. # net getdomainsid Could not fetch local SID tdbdump shows that there is no machine SID in secrets.db, so I'm thinking that I overlooked the step that creates a machine SID. What creates the machine SID and when? Also, is it the hostname or the netbios name that samba uses as the machine

Hi, Confused and bewildered as usual, so ask the guys who know. samba4wins is now implemented and part of the samba4 package? Is there a configuration guide? I guess nbd_server needs to be part of the equation so could you point to some resources on setup as I don't think I have noticed anything in the wiki? Probably just me :) Many Thanks Stuart

Hello I'd like to configure Samba on a test host running Ubuntu so that I have full read/write access from XP to a sub-directory of the root filesystem. The host is located on a LAN behind a firewall, so security is not an issue, ie. I'd like to configure Samba with no/minimal security. Currently, I can read but can't write. Between /etc/passwd, smb.conf, and access rights to the

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC.

Hi there, I have just purchased a new PC that came with Windows 8 Pro (Shudder...). I have been trying to add this machine to my Samba3 based domain.

Hi, Is there a tool to debug SIDs on a samba domain. To check that there is no problems with SIDs on the samba server, windows client or user? After an upgrade/reinstall of the samba server, I get an error message on the windows client saying that the profile could not be synced, when the user logs out. There are probably a problem with the machine account or the users SIDs. But I'm new to

I'm running a Samba domain (Samba 3.4.7) with OpenLDAP. I also have an Server 2003 AD domain, and want to set up an external trust so that AD users can access resources on the Samba domain, but not visa versa (I believe this is called a one-way incoming external trust). I'm not finding a lot of information out there that makes sense. Does anybody have any hints? -- Aaron Clausen

Hi, I've got samba3 on ubuntu 12 up and running with one exception. I try to get password complexity working to no avail. I understood I needed crackcheck, which in turn needed to be compiled.
