Hi! How do we provide a password for the domain root? I am using Samba 3.0.3-5 and openldap-2.1.29-1 on a Fedora Core 2
Following the steps found in http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html I issued to command: # smbldap-populate In the howto after executing the command, the entries were added and it asked to provide a password for the domain root. But in my case, it did not ask for a password.

They were being pushed an old IP address that did not exist.

I wasn't quite sure where to send it since it's the interaction between the two packages where the problem appears to be, or I just don't see where it is which is definitely possible. Two final questions, if someone perhaps has an answer as my knowledge of WINS is severally limited. 1) Is there any simple way to determine if WINS is functioning? The fact that over a tunneled connection where bcast is not supported yet names do resolve if I run them via start (ie: \\SERVER) may indicate this. But is there any other way to determine this from a client machine? 2) Does a WINS server allow you to browse computers via My Network Places in an instance when bcast is not supported? - Rory Erickson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig White Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 1:11 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Browsing through a tunnelled VPN connection On Mon, 2005-04-04 at 22:34 -0700, Rory Erickson wrote: Hi there, I am trying to determine the best way for this to be done. I'm currently using a VPN software package called OpenVPN, which I connect to through a tunneled connection. When I connect to the VPN I am given an IP address of 192.168.3.6, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252. The Samba server has an IP address of 192.168.2.101 and has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128. A WINS server address of 192.168.2.101 is pushed to my VPN client when I connect. Once I connect to the VPN I can access each computer on the network, including the Samba server by typing their netbios name pre-pended by a \\. However, I am unable to browse to these computers via Network Neighborhood on my Windows 98 machine, nor My Network Places on any of my Windows XP machines. I believe I had enabled WINS on the Samba server, which I was under the impression it would enable this even though the computers do not broadcast like on a local network or bridged VPN connection. Was I incorrect in this assumption? If so, are there any potential options that I may have available to accomplish this--the cosmetic issue of being able to see the computers on the network via My Network Places even when connected via a tunneled VPN connection? ---- openvpn offers several modes of use. this question might be better handles by openvpn list. assuming that other machines are capable of browsing the network and locating other systems on the LAN via WINS, it would stand to reason that a remote computer via VPN should be also able to browse the network via WINS - if the connection permitted and the remote computer had been set up with the same WINS settings.
