Recently, something broke in Samba, my user, lorenl, is no longer an Administrator on any local workstations. I am the only administrator for this network, and there's nothing I've done related to any Samba configuration changes recently. On all workstations, I've checks that DOMAIN\Domain Admins is listed in the Administrators group. I ran this command from the Command Prompt

I am trying to get ntlm_auth working for Authentication against the local Samba PDC which is running on the same computer. I am using samba 3.0.28a on Ubuntu 8.04.1. smbd, nmbd, and winbindd are running and Windows clients have no trouble logging into the domain. Running ntlm_auth --username=myusername reports No logon servers. I ran the command as root and according to strace, it looks like

I am looking for some good tools to manage Samba users in LDAP. It looks like there are several good tools mentioned on the Samba Wiki, but I am concerned mostly with the proper addition of new users to LDAP, in particular, generating unique SIDs. smbldap-useradd, for example, generates the SIDs for primary user and group based off of a simple formula based on the UID and GID, whereas Samba

I just set up a fresh Samba PDC using OpenLDAP as the passdb. When I start smbd, I notice some log messages about failing to create some builtin groups: Administrators and Users. Is Samba trying to run a group add script which I have not setup or to create posixGroups in LDAP which it does not have permission to do? I turned up debugging output and saw that it complained about not getting gids

I'm seeing timestamps off one hour in Windows 200 and XP clients that were modified earlier this year before the +1 hour daylight savings time. They show correctly when views from the Ubuntu Linux Server running Samba 3.2.3-1ubuntu3.8. As a test, I created three files in Linux at 00:13, 01:13, and 03:13. I could not create a file during 2 am as that time does not exist in the local

Hi ! I would like to remove from listing the "Icon?" files created by mac user when they customize their folder icon. So I did in my smb.conf : veto files = /Icon?/ ok it's working, but "Icone" "Iconx" "Icons" will be removed too. I tried veto files = /Icon\?/ but it's not working, Is there a way to use question mark (?) but not as a wild-card ?

There are ''official'' plan (by Samba Team, but also by Microsoft) to officially ''decommission'' support for NT-like domains? Thanks. -- dott.

A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Greetings, I have a Suse 9.3 server running 3.0.9 as a PDC, using OpenLDAP as the passdb and idmap backend. I also have a 3.0.9 server set up as an OpenLDAP slave, but it only serves files. I decided that I'd like to set this other server up to service logins as well. When I add the "domain logons = yes" in this server's smb.conf file, I get some rather strange behavior.

Hi Scott, Good to see 64bit, I would suggest doing something like this as follows> logon to a BDC that is currently accepting domain logons and is replicating the database from the PDC. as root > slapcat-v -l ldiif-transfer.txt ; to dump the database. root > scp ldif-transfer.txt root@RHE4BDC:/dir root > net getlocalsid | cat sidtransfer.txt # vi and check the file for sid number

I am trying to execute a program under rh 7.2 with an application switch '/'. Though the documentation states this is possible I have been unable to execute with success. I have tried many escape variations for the slash but that has not worked either. Any thoughts? Thanks! Loren

Hi, I am trying a test of migrating a NT4 Domain to Samba 3 Beta 3 configured to use LDAP on Redhat 8. Is this possible? Details ------- I previously had Beta 2 on LDAP running as it's own domain controller without problem and could create users (in LDAP) with smbpasswd -a. XP clients could join and login OK. Now I have flushed that setup and have loaded Beta 3 configured to use LDAP,

Hi, I'm new to R. I'm trying to install R-0.64.0 on FreeBSD 2.2.8 (also new to FreeBSD). First, I run ./configure and then make. Make gives me an error message because it cannot find "eda.so" when trying to link it with line.o and smooth.o (see output below). I would appreciate it if somone could help me to fix this error. Thanks. Loren AFTER RUNNING CONFIGURE: R is now

I'd like to use the resources() function described on p. 151-152 of S Programming by Venables and Ripley (2000), but I don't have access to S and don't know whether R's memory functions (e.g., gc()) can be used instead of mem.tally.reset() and mem.tally.report(). In order to implement the resources() function in R, should I look for the C source for these S functions and wrap them

I'm using a NT4-style domain on my home network, with Samba 3.5.3 acting as PDC. I would like to transfer PDC responsibilty to a different GNU/Linux machine so I can retire the original PDC. With Windows DCs, I understand this is simple -- just create a BDC, promote it, and remove the old. However, an analogous approach would be problematic here, because in Samba going from one DC to two is

Thanks for your help Duncan. Your last comment helped me to figure out what FreeBSD was doing differently than Linux/Solaris. This fix worked on a machine with Python 2.1, R 1.3.1 and FreeBSD 4.1. Here are the details: The pthreads fix: I added '-lc_r' to the PKG_LIBS definition in src/Makevars.in. The FreeBSD 'man pthread' page suggests that adding -pthread to the gcc statement
