Hello, I want to use samba v3.3.x to implement an NT4/Win2k style domain: a samba PDC and a samba BDC, using ldapsam for the 'passdb backend'. I plan to use RedHat Directory Server v8.2 as the ldap server. I'm trying to sort out how user/group management and nss will work. I'm confused about how/when the samba-supplied ldap schema is used (I mean the schema that's in the

I started with one dc, 'dc1', running samba v4.0.21, in subnet1. I successfully added two more dc's, 'dc2' and 'dc3', both running samba v4.0.24, both in subnet2. There are several firewalls between subnets 1 & 2. I continued to make firewall holes on behalf of msad after I added dc's 2 & 3. I.e. when they were added, there were patterns of communication

Hello, I can't join a winxp box to my samba domain. I just have one samba server, meant to act as a PDC for domain='CHI'. Any ideas how to troubleshoot and/or remedy?

Hello, I'm trying to use samba v3.3.8 on Centos 5.5 to act as a PDC, using ldap as the backend for users, groups, and computers. The ldap I'm using is Centos Directory Server v8.1. The setting is a new, never used before, installation of samba and ldap. There are no users other than what exists by default after a Centos install. The smb.conf contains what is my best guess for the

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4.

I am trying to create a CF card that boots 686 CentOS 6.3 On boot I get a message about /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f where \x2f is "/" cannot be found. Adding rdshell to the boot line and booting up sure enough the /dev/disk directory does not exist. What "creates" that early on in the boot process? My CF card was changed from UUID to LABEL. So I edited grub.conf and make

Dear CentOS users, I installed CentOS 6.2 x64 in a Sun Fire X4450 machine, it has 4 disks and I configured them to be a single volume (no RAID). The installer sees the volume perfectly, its 570Gb. I created two ext3 partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. In the logs I see they are formated correctly. All the files are installed. Then when I reboot, I get to the GRUB menu. Choose the first and only

Any ideas what is wrong? It works if I change the group to

I had to update all these packages on CentOS 6 for a project. Everything works great on CentOS 6 - except - Copy/Paste between applications. Anyone - know which application below might control that function? Example I cannot have firefox running and copy and paste text into thunderbird. Both applications - actually all applications work - I just cant copy/paste. I'm thinking I did not

When winbind is configured without the 'winbind nss info =' statement (i.e. such that winbind maintains its own local map of SIDs -> UID/GIDs), the following works fine: # cd ~detertj # getent passwd detertj detertj:x:10008:10000:detertj:/home/MSOE/detertj:/bin/bash but when i try to make winbind use sfu for the mapping of SID -> UID/GID, username lookups are
