Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

i have a samba/ldap pdc with smbldap-tools and i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser's machine. the groups were created by smbldap-populate, i didnt do it myself, so i think it's fairly normal. could anybody confirm ? regards samba 3.0.22 openldap 2.2.23 smbldap-tools 0.8.7 -------- Message original -------- Sujet: Re: USRMGR.exe not working properly Date: Mon,

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase

I've been having this problem on one of my PDC's where when using usrmgr from a windows box, I get the error: The group name could not be found. Since all of the groups samba is interested in exist and since they are all mapped to the appropriate posix groups I'm not sure where to start with this one. A 'net rpc group list' gives the following: Domain Guests Domain Admins

Hello, All! I have domain network. But user managing via USRMGR.EXE is impossble. When I run USRMGR.EXE I get a window: The tag is invalid. Do you want to select another domain to administer?

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Heya all, So I've finally got a machine on this Samba 3 domain. Yey. Its an XP Pro box, so I grabbed the UsrMgr.exe and SrvMgr.exe programs from Microsoft, and hoped to at least use UsrMgr to see lists of users, maybe even as a full User manager, since I can't find a decent one that does all the samba3 stuff. Anyway, I'm on the domain, and I run the UsrMgr.exe program and I get an

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

I try to admin Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1pre3 (tried both versions) NT4.0 PDC with NT4.0 machine and NT4.0 USRMGR.EXE and get persistent error message 1) The group name could not be found 2) The user name could not be found 3) The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Loggin into domain under name: root I can see the user and group listing. When I click on a user to see his

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

Hello, I am trying to find and easy way for end users to add Samba accounts to a Linux server. Some of my end users are schoot teachers, and they have to add tens of students to their Samba servers. I have a running Linux with Samba, configured upon the directions of Samba-3 by example, chapter 3, "Secure Office Networking", this is Samba with tdbsam, not LDAP. I can create accounts

I am trying to get two Samba PDC/Domains setup with a trust between them. They are separate domains because they are separate companies (one is a subsidiary of the other) located in different cites. I am using Centos 5.1 x86_64 and Samba 3.0.28a packages built by me from Fedora 8 source RPMs. Based on what I have read, in order to do the trust thing I need to use Winbind/idmap to handle the non

Hello I have usrmgr.exe (form NT server ver.5.1) to manage user accounts of samba.(one year ago) I set logon hours from 8:00 to 16:00.

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.1 with LDAP backend running as a PDC here. When I start up usrmgr.exe from Windows NT, it will read all the users (or computers, for srvmgr.exe) in the domain and report them back correctly. However, whomever I am logged in as ( including gid 512 users) it will not let me see details or change anything. In the logs after trying to view a users details I will get

I have a Samba3 PDC/LDAP/PAM/NSS running in a lab. Everything works great. I am using the smbldap scripts for in smb.conf so i can use usrmgr.exe. Last night I was testing to make sure it was all working ok. I added about 6 accounts throught usrmgr.exe with no problem. The smbldap scripts added the user to LDAP, and then samba 'extended' them to samba accounts. Then I tried to add an

WHAT I HAVE: I've inherited a production debian system. uname reveals kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4. I am now running samba 3.0.14a with a completely "stock from source" install (as part of my troubleshooting activities). The machine acts as a PDC for win2k clients. It uses smbpasswd for the password back end. There are approx 20 users. It also serves dhcp, ntp, mysql and apache. WHAT I
