Hi. I'm trying to delete a machine account using pdbedit -x -m and it fails. Any idea why that might happen? The machine account exists.. # pdbedit -Lv 'ts$' Unix username: TS$ NT username: Account Flags: [W ] User SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-3286 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-515 Full Name: Home Directory:

Hi, I have running LDAP + SAMBA as PDC on gentoo and I have problem with adding machine account. Whem I try add machine account with pdbedit -am 'hostname' I have this error: smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=OFFICE.KENS.PL))] smbldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server

Hi, I've tried to search for the problem on the lists without finding a solution. I'm trying to recreate a crashed PDC system on a new system with samba 3.0.4. It is a small domain and I use tdbsam as a backend. No LDAP (yet ;). I could actually retrieve the old SIDs from a backup file, and also the smb.conf file. All other files was though lost :( I managed to give the new domain (PDC)

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

Tony, I am having pretty much the same issue that you were having with your Samba + Ldap setup it is listed below...did you happen to solve this issue or figure a work around ? Thanks, STEVE Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS

Hi everyone, Problem: Windows XP's offline files synchronization fails with an "Access is denied" message, if you have edited an offline file that you have group based access to, but you are not the owner of. (Not using an ACL-compatible filesystem.) In 2.2.x the change appears to be successfully written to the server anyway; subsequent synchronization attempts suggests that the

Please help, I am experiencing a weird error when trying to join a winXP Pro workstation to my samba3 + LDAP Domain. When I specify the account to on my system that has uid 0, I receive a user account cannot be found error. Now I know this isnt the case since I can browse the samba server with this account. Note: it is in tdbsam not ldap When I look for the machine account in the ldap

Hello all, When I try to add a user to my secrets.tdb file on my Samba 3.2.0 PDC, the users are always added under the local machine domain, not the global domain. That is, if my PDC machine name is srv1, and it is PDC for the domain DOM1, then whenever I add a user using "pdbedit -a -u username", then that user gets placed under the local domain SRV1, not the global domain DOM1. So my

Hello everyone, I am having a problem adding a machine account with pdbedit. My setup is the latest samba (3.0.21b) compiled from source on Solaris 10, SUN's latest JES' Directory Server. I am in a beginning stage of setting up this environment, so I may not have done something right. I was following the Samba PDC LDAP howto by Ignacio Coupeau

Hello, I'm doing all sorts of testing with samba 2.0.6 and NT wks domain logons. It is just a test environment, and since deleting and recreating the /etc/MACHINE.SID file nothing is working. If a person deletes that file, what has to be done to get NT wks domain logons to work again? Delete and recreate the machine names in passwd and smbpasswd? Delete and recreate the NT usernames in

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

Hello I have samba-3.0.2 installed into /usr/local/samba/ by means of cd /usr/src/samba-3.0.2/source ./configure --with-acl-support make make install When I run pdbedit -L I get a segfault: oberon root # pdbedit -L Segmentation fault (core dumped) This occurs after samba of unknown version from these two: 3.0.1pre2 3.0.2 has been reinstalled with samba-3.0.2 (gdb) bt #0 0x400f9bf9 in free

Dear Gaiseric, Yes, according to testparm the backend is a plain text file : smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passdb backend = smbpasswd Therefore I wonder where the User SIDs are stored ?! About "getent passwd", yes all users (active users at least) have a Unix account. About the users that are missing in pdbedit, there is not error in smb.log when they log in. (But I

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

[Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ] I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password. If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd" command and it would edit the file. But with a backend, that's not available to me. The "pdbedit" command will

And I must admin that I really don't know where to search. Does someone knows where pdbedit is reading the information displayed ?

I have been working to get pdbedit to expire passwords. I have seen several bugs related to pdbedit (bugzilla bug 4630 for example) on 3.0.25 so I upgraded to 3.0.25a, the latest Samba version as of this writing. What I am trying to do is set a particular user's password to expire on a certain date. If that can't be done, the ability to set it to expire "now" would be my

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000. But when I do: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -m -u somemachinename -U 3000 It does not work as you would think. The account is created but with the RID of the Unix UID*2+1000 not, a RID of 3000 as specificed on the command line. And
