Greetings, I'm trying to lock files using a Debian GNU Linux (unstable) and Perl, but looks like the smbpasswd command from Samba is not respecting the lock. Perl has "advisory" file locking using C flock() or lockf() or fcntl(), depending which one is first available on the system. While this is not a Perl mailing list, I need to know which scheme Samba uses for file locking to

Ok fellows, This is my last try. Please, anybody tell me if something is missing on this list! I need to setup on a Linux + Samba (PDC) to restrict just one login per ID (not allow two logins with same id).So: 1 - edit /etc/pam.d/samba -> chaging session line with session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so 2 - in /etc/security/limits.conf: * - maxlogins 1 3 - in smb.conf:

Hello everybody, I?m using Red Hat 7.3 with Samba setup as a PDC, and I?m having a doubt. I am studying the directive "obey pam restrictions" because I would like to limit the number of logins with the same id. The documentation provided by SWAT tells me that encrypted passwords (like used by Windows98SE) will NOT follow these restrictions. Anybody could tell me if this information is

I am confused on the various account creation methods in samba. I am running Fedora Core 8 and Samba 3.0.26a-6. 1.) I can create a user with pdbedit -a I can create a user with smbpasswd -a I can list the users with the pdbedit -L command Where is the file with the users that the above commands create and pdbedit -L lists? 2.) In SWAT under "server password management" I created a use

Hey all, I'm experiencing a weird and annoying issue with my 2-node dovecot replication setup. The setup is based on virtual users in a pgsql database, which is replicated from the master to a slave node. For the mails I rely on the dovecot builtin replication which has been working great for me thus far. However I noticed something was off when looking through my journal yesterday:

Thanks for your help in adance !!! I work with SAMBA HEAD since alpha24. I have running a BDC, PDC, Printserver on 3 separate pc's. In my domain is integrated a nativ w2k Fileserver ( Dell Nas PowerVault 725 ) for fileserving. Passwords are held in LDAP on every (Linux) machine pam-ldap works. Every thing was fine before the last update to BETA 3. Problem : I was updating from BETA 2 to

Hallo, I'm trying to convert smbpasswd to passdb.tdb. cd /etc/samba/private # (where smbpasswd lies) pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb converts all human users, but it converts (or transfers) no machine account. In "smbpasswd" are many entries beginning with (p.e.) mac001$ for these accounts, pdbedit -L -v | grep -i mac shows

Dear Folks, Now trying to get Samba 3.0.0 RC1 up and running only with LDAP, as PDC. I am using openldap 2.1.22-5 from rawhide on RH9. pbedit was able to migrate the user accounts to the existing posixAcounts in LDAP (nice!) but not the machine accounts, which had no pre-existing entries beyond the top-level entry ou=Devices. Since the sambaSamAccount is auxiliary, it needs a structural

Hi all Have an installation that is having problems using samba 2.2.5 on AIX 5.1 When I try to use the pdbedit command I get the following What I ultimately want to do is have samba expire and force the users to change their passwords periodically. I realize that it looks like I am missing a lib here but which one and where do I get it. The company I work for is strict on

I would like to have a wiki that uses Markdown as the markup language (or something very close), I've currently used PmWiki and I really like it but there are some problems with using Markdown so I'm interested to see if there is an alternative that works better for me.

Hello everyone, I am faced with a samba related problem, I have set up a PDC with a ldap backend. This PDC is working perfectly. I have also set up another samba box to act as my BDC. The BDC is working correctly as well. PDC:192.168.1.1 BDC:192.168.1.2 My PDC is currently sharing a few file shares. I would like my BDC to host a few file shares as well. I share the file like this,(this is in

I wanted to use the sambaBadPasswordCount to limit the amount of failed logins on Windows clients within our SAMBA Domain.

Hi, has anyone done a migration from an "old" smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd setup to a "up to date" LDAP ldapsam:trusted setting? (Centos 5.4, samba-3.0.33-3.28, openldap-2.3.43) If so, is there some how to? Or may somewone share his/her experience with me.

Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Dear Samba Users, I have a Samba 3.2.5 Server running on Debian. I use tdbsam as a password database and wonder how I can change the "Workstations" value in order to control the allowed workstations for a particular user. Last year I had a configuration with ldap using the smbldap tools where it was possible to set this value. But how can I set it without LDAP just using pdbedit?

what did I do wrong ? pdbedit can run for hours without any output. Cheer, Ilia Chipitsine sol# pdbedit -e xml:/home/ilia/1.xml No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin Module '/usr/local/lib/samba/pdb/xml.so' loaded I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/ilia/1.xml" Can't load current XML file, creating a new one passdb.xml:0: error : unterminated

Hi All, I just added three users to my tdbsam with "pdbedit -a -u username" (had to do "useradd" first). All three appeared in tdbsam as they should, as verified with "pdbedit -L". But, all three also appeared in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. This is not a mistake, they were not there before. Are "tdbsam" and "smbpasswd" linked? I am confused.
