Hi All.

I have a SAMBA PDC that uses LDAP as its back end.
The OS, is UBUNTU 6.10 Server.
SAMBA Version is 3.022

The problem is, when a client logs onto the Domain, he presses Control+Alt+Del, and chooses Change Password.
He types in the old password, then the new one, and confirms this.
When he clicks on OK, it thinks for a bit (about 30 seconds) and then says: "The system cannot change your password now because the domain RIVONINGO.HIVSA is not available"

This used to work before, and works fine on another server, with the identical settings.

The log file for the computer says:
[2007/11/27 16:00:11, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_group(2171)
ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error: (No such object)

This says that something wasn't found in LDAP, but doesn't say what or where it was looked for.

(...)

ldap suffix = dc=rivoningo,dc=hivsa
ldap group suffix = ou=smbGroups,ou=soul-calibur,ou=smbServers,dc=rivoningo,dc=hivsa ldap user suffix = ou=smbUsers,ou=soul-calibur,ou=smbServers,dc=rivoningo,dc=hivsa ldap machine suffix = ou=smbComputers,ou=soul-calibur,ou=smbServers,dc=rivoningo,dc=hivsa ldap idmap suffix = ou=smbUsers,ou=soul-calibur,ou=smbServers,dc=rivoningo,dc=hivsa

I didn't understood why did you crated your DIT that way, but ...

*>I have many servers.*

From smb.conf man page:

ldap suffix (G)
Specifies the base for all ldap suffixes and for storing the sambaDomain object.

The ldap suffix will be appended to the values specified for the ldap user suffix, ldap group suffix, ldap machine suffix, and the ldap idmap suffix. Each of these should be given only a DN relative to the ldap suf-
fix.

Default: ldap suffix =

Example: ldap suffix = dc=samba,dc=org

ldap user suffix (G)
This parameter specifies where users are added to the tree. If this parameter is unset, the value of ldap suf- fix will be used instead. The suffix string is pre-pended to the ldap suffix string SO USE A PARTIAL DN.

Default: ldap user suffix =

Example: ldap user suffix = ou=people


(...)

So take a look at the "SO USE A PARTIAL" part, it worth for all organizational units suffixes.
*>I have set to use partial, restarted samba and slapd, and I still receive:
**>"The system cannot change your password now because the domain RIVONINGO.HIVSA is not available"
> or "The system cannot change your password at this time"

> Unable to open new log file /var/log/samba/log.computername: Permission denied

**>Is there something else I can try?***

God bless.
