Morning, I have three machines, two xp and one win2k, that join the samba pdc fine. I have tried to join others to this same samba pdc using the same accounts for authentication without success.

I have Samba 3.0.24 running on CentOS 4 as a PDC with an LDAP backend. When I first set everything up, I could join workstations to the domain automatically with the Windows Network ID Wizard.

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

I have a samba 3 domain running for a while and have noticed that desktop.ini is displayed often on login and that my personal desktop is not being sync'd with my repository. Last week I was building a new box for a user and am converting this same user to a domain profile at the same time. I have found that the user's romaining profile is not being created on the samba server. The user

Hello, I have installed a new server with mandriva 2007 free edition, with samba 3.0.23d on it. It is good but a new nmbd appears every 5 minutes and they don't die when I stop samba. So, I compiled samba 3.0.24 and ... idem. This is not my first install, on my other servers they're only 2 nmbd. With this install, after one day, I have more than 250 daemons, it is the hell ! What

Hi, I'm running into weird problems after switching from tdbsam to ldapsam user backend. I have transferred all local unix and samba groups with the sambaldap-tools scripts. The 'net groupmap list' command prints all group mappings correctly, and I also can use all the groups present in LDAP for setting local file ownerships. However these groups don't appear in the windows

I'm using the above version of Samba with OpenLDAP. I also use the smbldap-useradd script to add users, like below. I'm finding that I also have to have an account in /etc/passwd for the user to get in otherwise I get the message below. I thought that the ldapsam:ldap://localhost/ would not require the /etc/passwd entry. What did I miss? # Adding a User (doesn't work)

I have a Samba PDC and a file server (domain member). They are both running CentOS 4, with Samba3-3.0.24-30 and LDAP 2.3 (on PDC). Domain authentication seems to be running fine and file access on the file server works also. I have one share on the file server that gives me trouble. Whenever I access files from this one directory, the network seems to lock up for close to a minute. I get 64%

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database.

Hello everyone, I am operating a migration of samba from 3.0.24 (mysql passdb backend) to 3.5.6 (openldap passdb), samba working as a domain controller (PDC) and file share.
