Dear list, I'm using samba 3.0.2a on a RedHat Linux server. Samba is configured as being a PDC. When I use the usermanager from SRVTOOLS.EXE on my W2K workstation I don't see any groups listed in the window below the userlist.

I am using Samba 3.0.10-1 on Fedora Core 3. Most everything seems to be working as I expect it to except when I try to use the srvtools package to administrate the users and groups in the domain. I want to check and see whether maybe I am just misunderstanding usage as opposed to their being a configuration problem. If I log into my workstation as Administrator, either the local account or into

Hi all, Sorry for distubing you with this minor problem, but: I've configured samba3 for ldapsam and successfuly joined a WinNT Server 4.0 with on the fly account creation (I have root in LDAP). Now I'm able to manage my samba3 with user manager for domains from srvtools, but not nexus :-(. From my point of view the sadest thing is that on 9x no other application can retrive user

Hi, after looking for some time on the web for a solution to my problem I feel really brainwashed and I hope someone here can help me :) I'm setting up a PDC based on this: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS Samba 3.4.7 OpenLDAP backend smbldap-tools and I have a problem with RID allocation. Long time ago (before Samba 3.0.25?) RID was generated this way: uid * 2 + 1000 gid * 2 + 1001 and it was nice

Hi, I've configured samba with ldap support and all is going well with normal users. I wanted to know how to give special right/privileges to users using any windows tool. I tried to use w2k's support tool (Active Directory Users and Computers) and nt's srvtools(usermgr) but none of these worked. win2k says "can not connect to pre-windows 2000 domain" nt connects and

Hey everyone, I've got a Samba server running with an LDAP backend, and for the most part it works great. The only issue I'm having is that when I attempt to use USERMGR.exe on the windows side I get this (typical Microsoft) error: "A device attached to the system is not functioning" I'm running Samba 3.4.5, and OpenLDAP 2.4.21 on FreeBSD 8.0 Here's the relevant

I'm having trouble connecting my windows 7 machine to my Samba server that i set up on a FreeBSD VM. The FreeBSD version is 7.2 and the samba version is 3. I followed the directions here http://www.mrp3.com/windows-to-unix-samba.html to set it up as a domain controller exactly.. except for adding the samba_dns_update script because i didn't find it being asked for in the config file.

Hello All, I am using Samba + LDAP PDC with all latest updates & versions. I have been using SRVTOOLS.exe to manage the domain in the past because my work mates can use that without needing root access to the server itself. It stopped working some time ago, and it was not bbecause of an update either, I don't know what went wrong or understand this error. When I open USRMGR I get the

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've been happily using smbldap-tools all of this time, but when I showed what I do to my hapless trainee, her eyes

I loaded the NT4 Domain Manager tools and tried to use UserMgr to add some users. The add users sections of the menu are grayed out and I cannot do the deed. I've tried a variety of things. The machine was a member of the domain, I was logged in a administrator, which seemed to map as root in Samba, but still all I could do is look, not touch. Any ideas what I did wrong this time?
