Can someone point me to some documentation on scripting samba user and group management from python? I'd much rather not do this via calls out to samba-tool, and if I could do this remotely (via LDAP like calls) I'd be even happier. Cheers, Geoff

This might be a crazy idea, but it just popped into my head, and I wanted to know if it''s possible. Perhaps not possible right now, but possible in a theoretical sense. Is it possible that puppet could be modified to be used to manage switches that have a command line based interface? When I manage our Allied Telesis switches (which have a CLI similar to cisco IOS) I wonder if I could

To those who will eb able to assist, Platform: On Ubuntu 12.04 I have used the latest Git version. I have installed isc-dhcp-server and bind9 from the plain apt repositories and have configured DHCP and BIND9 so that DHCP can update DNS entries via the hmac-md5 as so: key rndc-key { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==";} allow unknown-clients; use-host-decl-names on;

Since I don't seem to be having any luck with the classicupgrade, I decided to try starting from scratch and then adding users. I ran the command: /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision --realm=<my realm> \ --domain=<mydomain> --adminpass 'mypass' --server-role=dc \ --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ Then I tried both adding and changing users. In neither case can I

Hi We are thinking of Developing a corporate Directory application the would pull user information from Samba4 Ad. However for our needs we need some additional User attributes that don't seem to be available as part of the AD-schema, such as "Hire Date" or "Emergancy contact information", so it seems to me that I would need to Extend the Schema to make this user

Hi everyone I'm trying to join an Ubuntu 12.04 client to a 12.04 Samba4 DC. xp and win7 clients can join fine. Here is my minmal smb.conf realm = POLOP.SITE workgroup = POLOP security = ADS Kerberos is working: kinit Administrator Password for Administrator at POLOP.SITE: But then it tell me that the DC is _not_ a DC: net ads join -UAdministrator Host is not configured as a member server.

Reading Whatsnew.txt in samba I understand that If I use s3fs, as it is set by default in the provision step, I won't be able to modify GPOs later, right? So I have a couple of questions: - What's the advantage of using s3fs over ntvfs in new installations? - If I'm planning to deploy a new Domain, probably needing to change GPOs later, should I select ntvfs??? Best regards, Felix

Hello, does any one knows how I can force samba4 to be the logon server against windows server 2003? I have below in my smb.conf but it doesn't help: ? domain logons = Yes ? domain master = Yes ? preferred master = Yes ? os level = 255 Best Regards, Innocent.

Hi everyone I have a S4 DC with a S3 fileserver. I want to create users and their UninxHomeDirecory on the fileserver. I can do this with a script which uses ldapmodify. Fine so far. The user shows in getent passwd on the DC and in wbinfo -u on the S3 box but does not show in getent passwd on the fileserver. The user has been created with all his rfc2307 attributes but is invisible to

Hi All Experts, I am about to extend our production Samba4 schema to add a few intra-organizational attributes (Employee ID,Passport No., Date of Joining, Date of Leaving) . How can I make change in my samba4 schema. I have already make a post in the forum, but got no reply. Sorry for posting again. But precaution should be taken in to prevent the server from any damage. Kindly help. With

Hi I just joined a Samba 3.6.3 machine as a file server for a Samba4 domain. Normal users can login and reach the shares apart from the domain Administrator. After Administrator has logged in, any attempt to reach the file server results in a username and password prompt. Supplying the correct information still will not allow share access for Administrator. Using s3fs under Samba4,

Hi, I am still experimenting with Samba 4 and I'd like to serve both Windows and Linux clients with Samba (standalone AD server). The Windows-side is already working well. For serving Linux-clients I need to store the users' uidNumber and gidNumber in the Active Directory. This is how I do that: 1. Create a user "test" with samba-tool 2. Get the internal UID which was assigned

Hello Folks, This directive works with Samba3 but does not seem to work with Samba-4.0.5: winbind use default domain = Yes I want to get a username that does not contain the domain (GIGL). Instead here's what I get: [root at roquefort ~]# getent passwd | grep GIGL GIGL\Administrator:*:0:100::/usagers/%U:/bin/bash GIGL\Guest:*:3000002:3000003::/usagers/%U:/bin/bash

I'm lost in documentation. I setup a samba4 AD, and configured winbind so I can have local authentification using pam, I can now login to AD users v?a ssh. I want to achieve the Holy Gria of 1 source of users and password, for both, linux and windows machines, but I'm lost in documentation. So far I know: samba4 cann't use openldap as backend. samba4 ldap doesn't really is a full

I've used the Samba AD DC HOWTO <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO> to install Samba 4 as an Active Directory/Domain Controller. I've successfully configured the domain/realm and DNS (as far as I can tell) and worked my way through Testing Your Samba Domain Controller <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO#Testing_Your_Samba_Domain_Controller>
