I'm running samba4 as an AD DC, built from git (built ~3 days ago), with about ~20 Windows 8 clients. I've noticed a number of errors in the logs, pasted below. That group of errors repeats pretty consistently for a lot of different client machines. [2013/09/08 08:12:14.539679, 2] ../source3/smbd/reply.c:592(reply_special) netbios connect: name1=SERVER-NAME 0x20

I'm not sure when the last time I run smbpasswd to change the user password, however when I run it only change NT and LM hash attribute, not the unix passwd attributes. smb.conf: ... passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1" unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/passwd.pl %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n

I have been trying to get the password sync working for Redhat 6.1 (samba 2.05a rpm). I got the PDC working this morning, so I'm happy. The FAQ section on the samba site was very helpful. The password sync was the only sticking point. The default passwd chat script didn't work well passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passw

I'm trying to use a DNS server independent from Samba (non BIND, on a different machine/system). Beyond the two simple records of: SRV _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com and SRV _kerberos._udp.samdom.example.com If I maintain all the A records for individual hosts (& the server.samdom.example.com machine), should that work? Are there any other special / SRV records that Samba4's

Hi, I noticed that when using (on debian unstable, samba 3.0pre): passdb backend = ldapsam the "unix passwd sync" in no longer performed, even if "pam password change" is on. Is ther a way to keep the userPassword (samba), lmPassword(samba), ntPassword(samba) fields synchronized with smbpasswd? Thanks in advance, cheers, -- ldm@apartia.org

Hi. Ive had UNIX passwd sync working using win95 clients and a samba (latest) SCO server. Then it stopped. Here is a snippet from the log file:- ============================== Invoking '/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/bin/passwd tnichols' as password change prog ram.

Hi, I'm using samba-3.0.28-0.fc8. I'm trying to build a file server for 100 users. I created a perl script that automatically adds the 100 users plus their passwords with success. Now I'm having difficulty creating a script using the smbpasswd command because passwords must be entered in stdin. I also tried smbpasswd -s option but it asks passwd in stdin. Is there a way that I can use

Hi, I want, that the unix password ( stored on LDAP ) gets changed when a user changes his samba password ( stored on LDAP ). So I set ldap passwd sync = yes, but the unix password does not get changed. The samba password is updated. Smbpasswd shows this error machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the (anonymous) password change: Error was : Wrong Password. Failed to change password for user1. After

Hi, we've have a NT domain with samba 3.0.7 on FreeBSD 5.3 and windows XP clients. We use NIS as the Unix backend for user authentication. The User home dir are setup on a other serveur and shared via NFS. Everything used to work fine but since few days the users are unable to change their password either via windows dialog box (the get the usual message "You don't have the

Hello, For Unix Password Sync, I am curios how Samba can provide the passwd program with an unencrypted password. If a Windows user presses Control+Alt+Delete and changes their password, are the passwords sent over the network in plain text? Does Samba decrypt the password, then provide it to the passwd program? Thanks, Charles

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs. Everything work very fine when running the scripts in shell mode... but! In smb.conf : ============= add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u This line don't work and it should, because when running

Hello, how can I change the user-passwords correctly in my OpenLDAP during Windows-password-change? My problem: The script does only change "userPassword", but not the field "shadowLastChange", so my unix-passwords expired. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /etc/samba/scripts/ldap_userPassword_change %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *Success*

Hi I am struggling with unix password sync. My samba works good but it cannot sync the password . My [global] look as follows:

hi list ! i am a complete newbie, but having searched the archives roughly (i do hope, that Mailman will add searchable archives sometimes...) i couldn't find any answer to my problem. if this is the wrong list, please tell me, where i should post instead:: my setting: debian-woody, samba-2.2.3 (+ldapsam support) as PDC, LDAP-2.0.23 (+TLS support) i am administrating a

Hey all, I'd like to be able to sync up the smbpasswd file with the unix passwd file. I've read that I can do this with the option unix password sync set to yes. Here is the part of my relevant smb.conf: encrypt passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n unix password

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my password databases. I'm using my self-made Linux installation (LFS, http://www.linuxfromscratch.com) and I'm trying to make it a Samba PDC. I'd like to keep both UNIX and SMB passwords synchronized. I managed to make passwd adapt both passwords (using some PAM-configuration). However, if I want to change my password using smbpasswd I get the

1) where's this list archived? i looked through my "joining" email and the web pages it sent me to, it says i might be better off reading the archives, but i can't find 'em.... i've got a feeling my problem is old news, if i could just find the archives. 2) config: samba 3.0.0 red hat 9.0 i WANT to fix it so a unix password change gets propagated to the

hi, in the beginning i want to say you that i have a working samba-ldap PDC (samba 3.0.2a, openldap 2.1.27, redhat linux 9, why redhat ? because slackware don't use pam and i didn't find a way to make samba-ldap work without pam). i want to make a synchronization between user password from samba (this is mail password, too. i use qmail-ldap) and user password from a database server
