I am trying to work out a work around for this...I have used PWDUMP to extract the NT SAM into a smbpasswd file.
Theoretically..one could write a script that would then parse that file and run useradd -u RID to create the local accounts....I have done it manually and it works very well (there is some issue with the groups, but I guess that is a secondary battle) what I would like to do is just circumvemt the need for the local users and pull the password from the smbpasswd...but as I write this I think the reason samba needs a local account for local authentication is the groups.. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Adkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 2:55 PM To: Pasi Holmström; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Samba as BDC in NT domain I have only read that Samba is able to act as a BDC for another Samba PDC system. It is unable to act as a BDC for a Windows PDC due to the secreted method that Microsoft uses to transfer the SAM data to other Domain Controllers.

GW does NAT and it causes that computers/users in subnet 192.168.6.0 cant logon to NT-domain. Is it possible to put Samba in GW machine so that it can be a backup domain controller in NT-domain and it uses username:passwd combinations from PDC and login becames possible? If so, how can it be done? pasi h -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
