I've also been trying to get these tools to work for as long as I've been messing with Samba (5-6 years now?) and no dice. What are the requirements for this to function? I always get "A device attached to the system is not functioning" when I try to use user manager for domains.

Hi srvmgr and usmgr work , but i do not recommand to use srvmgr...but it works
What would you recommend instead?
depending to your pass auth ( ldap...smppasswd ) you have to set
I'm using LDAP as a backend.
the right parameters in smb.conf as well as for srvmgr wiht the add share parameter and a script included in samba sources
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html#id2576258
Can you be more specific or point me to a HOWTO? This link does not cover anything other than where to find the tools which I've already got. I even have hard copy of the Official Samba HOWTO and even that does not adequately cover the topic.
Anyway, thanks,
Jim C.
Hi Jim,
usrmgr will work right out of the box with samba
if you have something like this with ldap in your smb.conf
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1/";
ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=robo,dc=intern
ldap suffix = dc=robo,dc=intern
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
ldap user suffix = ou=Users
ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
ldap idmap suffix = ou=Users
ldap ssl = no
add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m -P "%u"
ldap delete dn = Yes
delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel.pl -r "%u"
add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w "%u"
add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd.pl -p "%g"
delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel.pl "%g"
add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m "%u" "%g"
delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -x "%u" "%g"
set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod.pl -g "%g" "%u"
passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl "%u"
you can also use srvmgr with this
add share command = /usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
change share command = /usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
delete share command = /usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
you may have different paths on your distro
but modify_samba_config.pl makes your smb.conf lokking a little bit strange thats why i said i dont recommend this, for me edit
smb.conf for configure shares is the better way, but srvmgr works
dont forget to start usrmgr and srvmgr as a Domain Admin account user
