[Samba] Trying to 'Upgrade' to Samba 3.0 on RedHat Enterprise 3.0

Here's my situation: I currently have Samba (v. 2.2.7) running on RedHat 7.3, configured as a Domain Controller. Users are logging into the domain and everything is working fine. I must 'upgrade' to RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 3.0. I say 'upgrade', but what I actually have to do is a complete

Re: [Samba] password aging

Still no luck. I set 'obey pam restrictions = yes' and 'pam password change yes', I already had the 'unix password sync = yes'. I can see entries in the log like this : Mar 4 13:13:42 servername samba(pam_unix)[12225]: session opened for user username by (uid=0) Mar 4 13:14:37 servername

[Samba] password aging

What are my options for implementing password aging using samba as my PDC ? I can set the users Linux password to expire, but it doesn't seem to propagate to their samba passwords. I absolutely need this functionality. Is OpenLDAP the answer? Joseph Morin -- To unsubscribe from this list

[Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

Hi Jesse, I didn't get the 'group' policies working. All my users will have the same policy applied, so I just used the default user policy (for both Win2k and WinXP). I did notice a difference between Win2k and WinXP profiles though. I use a different 'default' profile for Win2k and

[Samba] Password expire

Does anyone know if implementing LDAP with samba will help this? I'd like to implement LDAP with samba for this specific reason (password expiration), but I don't want to implement this if it doesn't work. Joseph Morin Dominion Diagnostics -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

Yes, I'm using the ntconfig.POL for XP users. by 'default' I'm referring to the default profile for new users. I use the copy facility to copy a default profile on top of the new users (local) profile on their machine, then log on as that user and log out (which copies the 'new' profile) to

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

John, Thanks for the prompt response. Here's what I have. 1. In TCP/IP is WINS IP Addr. set to the IP Addr. of your samba server? Yes, using winipcfg, the Primary WINS Server is set to my samba server 2. Have you installed the Client for Microsoft Networks? -

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

John, Do I need a machine account for this win98 machine? I have them auto-created for Win2k and WinXP machines, but I haven't created one manually, and it didn't get auto-created. Thanks again, Joseph Morin Dominion Diagnostics

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

John, Thanks for the help! It's working! In my logon script for Win2K users I had a line something like this: NET USE H:\\server\%username% And this wouldn't run in win98. Changing it to what you suggested: NET USE H:/HOME works just fine. I have the NET TIME
