similar to: samba 4 as a pdc and /etc/passwd

I currently have a samba 3.6 pdc. I would like to migrate that to a samba 4 dc. I haven't been able to google out all the 'samba migration' hits that meet my specific use case. Sorry if there is something blindingly obvious on this topic. Is it possible to set up a samba 4 dc, and have it capture the sambe 3.6 pdc info? Currently, samba uses tdbsam. (no ldap) It runs on an Centos

Thank you for the excellent advice. so an lxc container should be a privilege vm. Do containers share the same file system like a BSD chroot jail? Or do they have a virtual disk image like vmware or virtual box? Sorry to be dense here. If you know of any good tutorials on making lxc containers, I'd like to read them. My thinking was that I would make an lxc container for the addc instance

Hi David Thanks you for reply, are you sure about this? Windows and Samba SMB byte range locking feature doesn't allow this by locking regions of a single file ?

Is there a list of GPO functions that are known not to work with samba 4.1 ? We have a case where some settings in a GPO will get applied, and others don't. -- David Bear mobile: (602) 903-6476

Sorry to ask a windows question her but I didn't know if a windows group would know about the sticky bit. I have a windows server that is our primary file server in our samba domain. I am hoping that windows as something like the sticky bit that can be set on a folder where in only the creator of the file can modify the file. Any easy way to do this using ntfs acls ? -- David Bear mobile:

Will a samba 4.1.9 work fine if there are newer samba 4.x AD DC in the domain? I compiled samba 4.1.9 from source on ubuntu 14 server. Now I am wondering if I can use the debian backports repo and get whatever samba is current there --is is amba 4.1.11 ? Not sure if its worth it to compile samba for each of my addc's, or if I can be lazy and use the deb from a repo. Would love

I have been wanting to allow our routers to continue to serve dhcp thinking this would give us a safer fail environment. Now we are learning that our routers can handle creating a whitelist of mac addresses to use for dhcp leases. So we need to look at alternatives. I am wondering how many samba AD DC's also run dhcp -- and if there is a samba 'good practice' for managing dhcp. Yes, I

A "good" acl manual. http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/ACL/linux-acl.html As i do prefeer the debian os, but i do really like the archlinux wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Access_Control_Lists Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Namens Frank Kahle > Verzonden: dinsdag 2 augustus 2016 13:55

my first round of trying to compile samba 4.2 from source in an lxc container. Host OS is ubuntu 14.04 lts, and lxc template was the ubuntu template. This is a privileged container. good news, is the container seems to function well. Bad news is missing dependancies. So, in tracking down depenancies, here's what I installed in to the container apt-get install python apt-get install

Understanding that a samba 4.x ADDC should be run on a an os separate than a samba 4. file server, I was thinking of virtualizing both. Is it common to have a single physcial server with two VM's running samba? If some is there a recommendation on how much hardware to start with and how much virtual hardware to give each VM. I'm wondering about virtual nics and if there may be a

I want to have samba be the back end provider for authentication to a radius server. I found https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/VPN_Single_SignOn_with_Samba_AD and wanted to see if this is 'current' and works with samba 4.1.8 -- or if anyone is using it. I want to use RADIUS authentication on a firewall and have Samba be the source for the user accounts. I am using a pfsense firewall.

Hello everyone I hope this is the right place to post this question. I have all but eliminated all Microsoft servers in my current work environment, expect two boxes, which are our PDC and BDC, they also are the DNS, Dial in With Rocket Port Card, DHCP, Winslookup servers. I would like to remove these NT boxes and replace them with a nice shiny new Linux box running Samba. Reading some of

Hi, Does someone know how will all my client machines find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running Samba with LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. The replication on all domain controllers are perfect. I went as far as making BDC

I think winbind is required for file service isn't it?

I'm helping out a small office upgrade their NT 4 PDC to Samba. It's a small office of 6 people, so tdbsam is being used. They keep having tape backup issues and other problems, so one of the reasons for the Samba migration is to allow me to SSH into their box and remotely administer it from home on evenings/weekends. Currently I'm testing the move using two dummy machines, and

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always

I dont know much about Solaris, but i found this. There are problems with ACL's across platforms: the uid has to match numerically the gid has to match numerically the NSF mount has to support the ACL operations, e.g., if the ACL grants write, but the remote file system is read-only then the ACL can not be honored.

Can somebody give me a quick education on sync'ing users, passwords and groups between 2 linux servers. Im using Redhat 7.1 as PDC and BDC using Samba. I want to sync mainly /etc/passwd, /etc/smbpasswd, /etc/group to get a consistancy going in the domain... please guide me sync'ing passwords between them ..BOTH WAYS.....if a user changes a password on one computer it gets changed on
