[Samba] usrmgr samba 3 rc1
Hi all,
For my long struggle to take samba working as pdc , and do admin with usrmgr
now useradd do not longer work after the update
userdelete never worked so it is yet...are ther any ideas , is there a signifant
change to the scripts ( i dont found any in the man)?
in my oppinon this is not a real release if
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u
do not work !
i checked several times my posted bug at bugzilla, but nothing seems to happen,
special to delete user script which i never saw working
if its invoked from usrmgr
now this works:
add group works
add user to group works
delete user from group works
add machine works

[Samba] Prompt Windows User for Password Change
I want to create a script which runs each time a user logs on, as well as periodically via a cron, that opens a window on the user's XP computer to prompt him to change his password, if needed. I already know that password changes can be made either with PAM or by a user taking the initiative to press Ctl-alt-del to change a password (assuming Unix password sync is turned on). But, I want to issue the prompt and have the user to be forced to respond to it before proceeding with anything else in Windows. Of course, once the user responds, both Samba and Linux passwords need to be changed in concert. So, what is the script; where does it go; what, if anything needs to be done in Windows; and, besides the script, what else has to be done? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

For Windows boxen you either install the drivers on each client separately and specify them as THE drivers when you connect the printer or you dig a little into docs and install the Windows drivers in the PRINT$ share and let the clients automatically and transparently pick them up at connection time. There's only a small rub that since about 2.2.6 there are 2 nasty little bugs in rpcclient utility which make it impossible in most cases to use the automagic way.

It's unbelievable that Microsoft would cripple their product this way. One of the test runs is available at http://www.mixdown.ca/~andrew/win2ks-win2kp.png. There are three transfers. Ignore the first. The second is an ~1.3GB transfer from Samba to Win2kServer, and the third is the same transfer but to Win2kPro.

[Samba] Report: NT4PDC to Samba3beta3 working
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Heyya all. I have posted here in the last few weeks with various questions regarding samba 3, so I thought you'd all like to know, i've got it working. The setup is: Samba 3.0beta3 running on a Debian Woody box (with a few tools backported from testing) with an LDAP backend (OpenLDAP 2.1) Samba is setup: * with posix file attributes (see http://acl.bestbits.at) * as a Primary Domain controller. I pulled all the user accounts and group accounts accross and kept the same password, etc. The only thing I couldn't do was carry the files accross with the right acl entries. (I tried with windows (using scopy), but got access denied errors(?!), and couldn't find a linux tool for it). I will try and produce a document discussing all the things I found later, but for now, here is a brief overview of the procedure. Compiled samba 3.0 using debian package scripts (bug: There is a makefile patch that needs to be deleted first) Backported OpenLDAP latest to woody. Setup LDAP authentication (eg pulled all the user/groups into ldap using padl tools, nsswitch, pam, etc). Configured samba to use the ldap server (another bug I noticed further on was a problem with 'ldap group suffix', it works better if you leave it blank). During this whole time, I spent quite a bit of it with high debug levels, and looking through logs, its not for the faint of heart). The biggest problem I had was the 'net' tool crashing, turned out (see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278) after a long time spent learning the samba source, debugging, etc, that the 'ldap group suffix' needs to be nothing. I'm not sure why that was. Anyway, after playing around a bit with some manually created accounts, I setup the "add user script", "add group script", "add machine script", and "add user to group script". (I custom wrote those scripts, what most of them do is call adduser/addgroup with sane settings). (btw - I got a ldap enabled adduser for debian from someone who's name escapes me.. if you hunt through debians BTS, you'll find someone talking about it, he has it). The "add group script" script was written in perl, and took the windows requested group name (eg "My Users Group_This is the one!" (which unix would throw a fit over if you tried to create a group with that name)), and "safed" it. (coverted to lowercase, replaced spaces, underscores, etc, with dashes). Once I had all the scripts working, and I could use windows's usrmgr.exe program to add/remove/alter users and groups without problem, then had some fun pulling the user/group lists from the old NT4PDC. (another bug to note: For some reason, I can add and remove users from groups in usrmgr.exe under the User properties, but if I bring up a groups properties, and try to add/remove a user from the group, it fails. Never did find out why, didn't really need to). First, I added the samba server as a BDC, then found the NT4's sid (as per the migration documentation), and then I _ALTERED_ my samba's sid to be that. Rather crudly, I dumped the ldap database to a ldif file, the sed 's/samba_sid/nts_sid/g' < ldap.ldif > new.ldif Hey, it worked. (I think I needed to redo smbpasswd -w ). Then I did the net vampire bit... Wow that was fun. Many errors came up, but after investigating each of them, I either determined that they were harmless, or I fixed them. (btw - I found its perfectly safe to vampire the user/groups over and over again till you get it right). After that, another dump of the ldif, and a quick fiddle with sed/perl/grep, etc. In the end, I got it working... finally. Oh, and samba3 with posix acls works like a dream. Users can use the ACL lists in windows with very few problems, and generally don't notice anything different from NT4). It took the better part of 2 weeks of work to get it fully working. Admitadly, I have a rather custom setup, so that plays a part in it. My experience before this trial: I am/was a coder, and have messed with large programs before, debugged, etc, and consider myself pretty good at coding and debugging. So if you can't code, I would advise caution before attempting something like my experience. I frequently used the samba source to answer questions where the documenation failed, or to figure out why samba was reporting various things in the log. If anyone would like any of the tools/scripts I mentioned, please feel free to send me an email, however it will take a few days to get organized enough to send the tools/scripts. I will also CONSIDER posting my smb.conf and ldap servers .ldif dump, but they will be heavily editted for security reasons. If anyone has any questions of me, please remember a few things: 1) I'm not a samba developer, I don't even play one on TV. 2) Your questions will, I'm afraid, be a low priority for me. I have a very busy work schedule, so you may not get responses back for awhile, however, I will try my best, especially if
