similar to: basic LDAP authentication to Samba share from existin g directory

We have an existing LDAP directory in which users have UNIX passwords that are used for a variety of different services. We'd like to keep as close to having a single synchronized password service as possible, but we've run into an issue. There seem to be two ways of doing this, neither of which seem helpful: (1) "ldapsam" >From looking at the Samba documentation

List, Yes...I was missing an equal symbol...I did run testparm on my smb.conf file as well and it did not detect that however? Bug? Also what is the parameter 'socket address = 0.0.0.0'?, is that like 'interfaces'? /B -----Original Message----- From: Joel Hammer [mailto:Joel@HammersHome.com] Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 15:20 To: David Busby; samba@lists.samba.org Subject:

Hi all, I am using OpenLDAP and over have ~800 users in its DB. I would like to simply use Samba as a file server, no PDC. I have been able to export my LDAP DB to a file containing hashes of users passwords. Is there a way I can import this file to smbpasswd or other file that Samba understands so that my 800 some odd users won't have to re register there passwords? I would really love

Hi all, I've compiled samba 4 from branches and it worked like a charm. I'm trying to use regshell to read (remotely) the following Windows registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall I can connect to the remote machine with no problems: ./regshell --remote=192.168.50.142 --user=Administrador%xxx HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>

Okay, so I've just put the sernet repo file in my yum.repos.d directory and a yum update will elevate my samba server to the latest version. Is there any pitfall that is out there that I can avoid before yum updating. Centos 5.3 samba3-3.0.34-37 & related packages openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 & related packages I still have my samba3-3.0.34 packages squirreled away so I can force downgrade

I recently setup a new server with CentOS 5.2. Everything works great on the server except when I try to join the domain it simply tells me: "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "Domain": The user name could not be found. I have researched this error and attempted a number of fixes but have been unable to resolve the issue. I am able to connect to

Due to a up-tick in the amount of SPAM my account has been receiving, I googled my e-mail address, and discovered that my e-mail address, along with the e-mail addresses of many subscribers to the SAMBA mailing list (samba at lists.samba.org) are being published in a harvestable form on your website. Specifically, this page: http://omgili.com/usrmgr.exe-, although there may be more instances.

Hello list, Is it possible to implement machine policies with Samba-3.0.x? Is so, how? I'm asking because I need to update registry settings and tz info for the computers on the domain, but the logon script is executed by the user (which doesn't have privileges to modify the registry entries nor date/time/tz configuration.) Many thanks in advance, Norberto

Is it meanwhile save to use samba over the Internet without using VPN ?

Hi I'm trying to get my samba file server to authenticate against my windows 2008 active directory server , so that there is a unified log in and if anyone logs onto the box the they are authenticated against the a server and there account is created. I'm battling to get my samba server server to join the domain .. I can get any further than this [root@technical-vmlab ~]# kinit

Some default setting have changed. Use: testparm -v from your various versions of samba to detect which parameters may be causing you issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660 "Don't Blend in..."

I'm using the above version of Samba with OpenLDAP. I also use the smbldap-useradd script to add users, like below. I'm finding that I also have to have an account in /etc/passwd for the user to get in otherwise I get the message below. I thought that the ldapsam:ldap://localhost/ would not require the /etc/passwd entry. What did I miss? # Adding a User (doesn't work)

I've been using rsync to back-up user files on samba shares. The idea was to capture the file changes from day to day work, back all changes and new files to a server with limited access. If someone wanted to delete the files, there would be a back-up of their work. While checking logs the other day, I noticed that on the files on the "backup server" where only a partial list

All, Looks like I'm in a predicament. One of our new sites will prompt users (in IE) to display "mixed content". Which is basically asking if you want to display some http in a https site. I have found the solution, (besides having a user go into IE's tools / privacy / custom settings / enable mix content) - with a registry entry. However, the registry entry goes to:

We recently ran into a similar issue. If you have any microsoft "Live" components installed on your 7 box, samba servers must be contacted by numeric IP address rather than netbios (or even IP mnemonic) name. http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/8303-cant-connect-samba-share-via -name-ip-works.html ---------------------------------------------- Tony Hoover, Network

Does anyone have any experience using PGina with Samba for a simple "single sign on" approach using Windows clients? If so, I would love to know how it is working for you. I tried posting here a bit ago for a way to do this ("single sign on") with samba only, but I didn't get any responses and therefore looked into other opportunities. Thanks. Paul

Hi all, I am currently fighting with roaming user profiles which shall be stored on an Ubuntu 8.04 Xeon (64 bit) box. I'm running the stock Ubuntu packages (version 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4). The Ubuntu box runs as PDC with a LDAP backend. Adding a Win 2000 SP4 workstation to the domain works flawlessly. If I log on on the workstation with a root-like account (UNIX user id 0, UNIX

Anyone suggest me what may be the problem. Why samba performance

Hi, Back to a while ago, someone mentioned about taking pGINA code to samba, so samba can work against LDAP authentication, but instead of using the sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword, this way samba can use the userPassword field directly. This sounds very promissing because we can then just use one set of passwords. It may be not usable in a domain enviroment where machine accounts and other
