[Samba] Group SID problems?

Looking at their system config, I notice that the SID's for the groups look. odd. The users group ends in 3005 but each user's PrimaryGroupSID is a group with a SID that ends in 1201, and there is no group that I can find with this SID. This site uses a LDAP backend. The question is - what specifically should I look for in the logs to verify that incorrect mapping of group SID's would cause the issue with sporadic connectivity?

Re: [Samba] Samba 3 by Example Migrations
I agree on the migrations and Samba 3 - but I suppose the Samba team would appreciate it if rather than just requesting it, maybe some of us should provide some content, eh? Basically, with smbpasswd, if you take the /etc/shadow, etc/group, and /etc/passwd, the contents of /etc/samba, and I believe /var/lib/samba and move it to another machine, you've effectively migrated to that machine. One key here is keeping the host name the same so that the SID's remain intact. You could change the hostname if you restore the SID use the net getlocalSID - but keeping the SID intact is the key to keeping your domain structure intact. I'd do the upgrade to ldbsam (or ldap, if inclined) after you did the migration to new hardware. Good luck..

Re: [Samba] Samba over ssh ?
[snip other stuff] Thanks for your suggestion. I have installed openvpn and the lzo library on which it depends. One nagging question that I still have is : Does using openvpn (or any VPN solution in general) obviate the need to open these vulnerable ports ? The little documentation that I have read so far talk a lot about encryption. While that is important, I also need to think about the ports (strangely, the firewall does not open any of those ports but nmap -P0 run on the machine reveals that these ports are open : 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds ) Anyways, another concern I have is that while I have the samba server up and running and all my users are happy with it, how much disruption and user effort can I expect when I implement openvpn ? Like typical windows users, they value ease of use over security. Don't take me wrong, I will definitely implement this if it contributes towards security, but I need to know this to be able to tell my users what to expect. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you want to place the VPN connections between your firewall and the mobile/end user, but not on the Samba server? I am assuming that you're not talking about the firewall on your server itself, but your firewall on the Internet/public connection. Those ports are particularly nasty because of the Windows operating system on which they typically run, not because of problems on linux. There's always the possibility of DOS attacks, or of some buffer overrun exploit being discovered, but I believe the chances of those happening are far less than your users being angry because you've tightened security to the point it's difficult to use the network.

[Samba] upgrading existing tdbsam to ldap
moving a system to SLES9 w/OpenLDAP. Existing system used tdbsam. Set up new server, configured w/openldap and LAM. Things appear to be working fine with the new config, but there are problems in migrating user and machine accounts. The new domain, nor users are recognized in LAM. The machine accounts are listed as existing, but hostnames are not showing. I suppose that this is due to the fact that the migration using the pdbedit -v -i tdbsam -e ldapsam did not properly assign machines to the proper OU, and users to the proper default groups, etc. The pdbedit command was done after the ldap db was populated with the IDEALX smbldap-populate tool. I had built the new server, then simply moved the /etc/samba and /var/lib/samba/*.tdb files into place before doing the pdbedit. Is there a method of moving the existing accounts and machine information into the proper groups, or do I need to start over and do this in a different order?

The samba server would server roughly 50-60 people. We have 3, maybe 4 departments that I would need to setup shares for (obviously, not all departments would need access to all the shares.)

What would be the recommended method for putting user accounts on the system? I know I have a few options, but is there one I should consider morethan the other? All the machines on the network are windows desktop. I would simply just map a drive to the shares needed for each user. I'm not going to setup this up as a PDC at this time.

It was set up by an engineer here at Raytheon Missile Systems Company and he left the company about 2 years ago. I've inherited the administration of it. Last week the Alphaserver's unix (TRU-64 V 4.0F) boot-drive crashed and a replacement disk was built from a (5 day old) backup tape.

I can get Samba up and running with security = server and password server = PDC,BDC,Alphaserver. But the Samba-functionality ceases after a while, even though the Samba-daemons are still running.

[Samba] disappearing files
Samba 2.2.7-3.7.2 on Redhat 7.3 Have a samba server setup that has been running for over a year now. fairly simple configuration - it is functioning as a stand=alone server with smbpasswd backend. Everything has been working properly until recently - now randomly some directories do not display their contents. There are files in the directory, I've checked the ownership/rights on the files themselves - the logged in user owns the files, and the directory. They have rights to the Samba share by the valid users parameter. The directory (in this case) that isn't showing up is three levels deep: /Sambashare /ME /Tempstuff this directory of files isn't showing up. I've set the log level to 10, and I'm not seeing anything glaring going on there, either. I cannot upgrade this server to 3.0x, otherwise, I'd probably go in that direction.

[Samba] problem destroying /dev/null
Working with Samba 3.0 on rh9. Set up samba to use tdbsam (small network, maybe 30-40 users tops) and be a PDC for the internal network. Will be joining machines to this domain. My smb.conf file has been configured to use tdbsam as the backend, and with an add machine script, add user script, etc. However, using the command: pdbedit -a jdoe results in could not create account to add new user jdoe running the useradd script manually (as found in smb.conf) results in the user being added. running pdbedit -a -m jdoewks results in tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (jdoewks$) with no RID! unable to add machine! (does it already exist) However, running the machine script adds the machine to the user list (/etc/passwd), but obviously not the tdbsam. If I then use the RH9 user and groups tool to delete the machine account, it asks if I wish to delete the user's home directory, which is /dev/null. Deleting this is bad, basically destroys the system, and leads to recovery. Ouch. I'm missing something.

[Samba] clarify issues on joining Samba PDC, machines, RIDs,
I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to time/budget - we're not integrating this one with LDAP. We'll be sticking with smbpasswd. I'd like clarification on some things: - I did the net groupmap add commands, attempting to map a unix-created group - ntadmin - to the Domain Admins group. However, when i do a groupmap list, I get a double listing for the group, as is shown below. Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-4140922544-3110978470-4188555357-2005) - ntadmin Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-4140922544-3110978470-4188555357-512) - -1 I assume this will cause problems when attempting to join machines to the domain, as one or the other SID will be recognized as a member of domain admins. Am I correct, and if so, how do I fix this? - If someone goes in and deletes the unix user - say jimmy without using pdbedit or the samba tools, pdbedit later complains that jimmy no longer exists, but will not allow me to delete him using pdbedit -r. How can I clean this up so that jimmy can be fixed - I'm not finding any info on how to rebuild or fix the samba information. (Administration of this system will be turned over to someone else, and I need to be sure I can help them fix if they do this).

[Samba] role of Idealx scripts
trying to get Samba 3b3 working with opendap - getting rid of the need to use /etc/passwd file. My confusion comes in where the idealx scripts comes in - i know that they are not updated to be used with samba 3.x. From my understanding - under samba 2.x - the idealx scripts provide a means of adding users to the system, by properly adding them to both the smb and the ldap configurations, correct? When using samba 3.x - if we do not have the idealx scripts - isn't it possible to accomplish the same thing by using something like gq, provided we get the new user template correct (the correct ldap attributes)? What am I missing that the idealx scripts might provided otherwise? As you can guess, I'm fairly new to this configuration. Thanks for any assistance/clarification.

[Samba] Offline Folders Samba
I've inherited a samba server providing file services to a group of Windows XP workstations. Samba is 2.2.7 -security-rollup-fix security is user level. I'm trying to configure the ability for the XP laptop users to use offline folders. The folder will synchronize, but not fully. When the XP user disconnects, the files are not accessible (Access is denied errors). I resolved by chmod'ing the files to 777, although this still didn't take care of all of them. It does synchronize some of the files, but not all. If we go into windows attribute, and change any of them, they will synchronize. Questions: - can someone confirm offline folders works with samba? - what is the typical create mask on a folder set to? - any configuration ideas are certainly welcome.

[Samba] Best configuration?
Have a site in which we currently have samba deployed, but I do not like the existing configuration. What I'd like to do is deploy it in such a manner that the environment can be made redundant, not necessarily clustered - but in the case of a server crash, another server could easily be brought up to replace the main server. What I'm looking at is how to store user information for redundancy - with regards to samba, which is better for this situation - interfacing samba to OpenLDAP or NIS/yellow pages??
