Found it. It turns out that the config file for libnss-ldap is /etc/libnss-ldap.conf on my distro (Debian). So NSS was ignoring the config that I had been in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and taking it from /etc/libnss-ldap.conf. The former had this "nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?sub" and the latter this nss_base_group ou=group,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?one. Once I edited group to

Hi, I am not using roaming profiles, but there is a feature in NT 4 where you store a 'Default User' profile under the C:\winnt\system32\repel\import\scripts\. When a user logins into the Doman for the first time, they get a copy of that profile. I have tried having a copy of the same profile to both the netlogon share and the profiles share on my Samba PDC but the profile does not get

Hi, I have Samba 3.5.6 that is running as a PDC for testing purposes. In my production environment I still use a NT4 domain and all the samba member server use domain security. One of the irritations I have with the Samba members set-up is that I have to add the users to the local server so that files created by a domain user are owned by them and not the guest account. Ideally I would like to

Hi, I recently migrated to a Samba3x domain. One issue that has been reported to me is that XP users cannot change their password from their PC. I have done some searching and I haven't seen a straight forward answer to this. My config is ldap primary + Samba PDC on host A ldap slave + samba BDC on host B I see this error in the machine log when someone attempts to change their password:

Hi, I have an existing WinNT domain and, after some labour, a new Samba3x domain. I created the Samba domain with a different name because the WinNT domain name wasn't appropriate. I have about 40 users. Their accounts have been added to the new domain. I'm almost ready to shift everyone to the new domain but I am a bit concerned about the user's profiles. These are local profiles. I

Hi, I am in the process of attempting a NT4 Domain to Samba migration (3.2.5). I have been following the instructions at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html. I am using an ldap backend. I am not convinced everything is set-up correctly. Before I began I removed all /var/lib/samba/*tdb and shutdown smb and ldap. At point 13 where you do `getent group` the Domain

Hi, HP DL 385 G2. CentOS 5.1 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 I have a newly installed server that was running x. It told me there were updates to install. I accepted that all, except sysreport as I always seem to have problems installing. I rebooted, having set the default run level to 3. I then got a red screen with an "illegal OpCode" error message. I have used my CD to boot into rescue

Hi, I have noticed that the Windows 7 machines that I have recently installed and joined to our domain take about 40 seconds on average to go from sign in to the desktop displaying. I can't find any explanation for the delay. When the machine are in a work group they login very quickly and the XP machines login at a normal rate. I have searched and not found any articles that are relevant.

Folks I'm new to ISOLINUX and I've compiled a new Linux distribution of my oppwn (based on LinuxFromScratch). Now I want ot create a bootable CD with it - I don't need swap or anything like that as the bootable CD will simply run a couple of scripts to copy files onto a machine's hard drive. What exactly do I need to put in my isolinux.cfg file? Do I *need* to have a initrd or

Hi, I have been testing out a samba installation and am slowly getting to a point where I am ready to push the project live. I have been playing with a domain member server that uses winbindd. I have created a share in /tmp called public to see what happens with user and group permissions. I created the directory as follows: mkdir /tmp/public; chgrp users /tmp/public; chmod 2777 /tmp/public.

Hi, Suddenly when I add a new workstation to out Samba3 (LDAP backend) domain, I have to give the root username and password. When I set-up the samba3 domain initially, I could use domain\admin user and their password but that has started to give me "unknown user or bad password". This last error is from a Windows7 machine I am currently trying to add. I have merged the registry fix

Hi All, What I would like to do is the following: a) fit a probability function to a measured data set. This would be user specified, e.g., normal, lognormal, etc. and then b) take the probability function and plot it with the histogram of the measured data set. This function would be displayed as a smooth curve. This would involve "re-sizing" the probability function to match

Hi All, Two quick questions. 1) I am using write.table to output data.frames to ascii files, e.g., test <- data.frame(rnorm(2)) write.table(test,file="output") "rnorm.2."
