[Samba] Setting AD password from Linux

2004-08-18 Thread Massimiliano Mirra
I'm migrating an AD service over to OpenLDAP. There will be a transitional period where logins will still be served by AD, but address book/mail/etc. will be authenticated against OpenLDAP, so I'd like to provide the AD admins with a way of creating users in OpenLDAP and having the change replica

[Samba] Separate PDC and file server

2002-11-08 Thread Massimiliano Mirra
First of all, sorry, this must have been discussed before but I couldn't come up with a good set of keywords for googling. Feel free to slap with a msgid or an URL. :-) I successfully set up a PDC that authenticates a small Win 2k/XP LAN. It fetches auth info from a LDAP server and also serves ho

[Samba] obtaining domain sid

2002-10-13 Thread Massimiliano Mirra
I've read on usenet about using `smbpasswd -S' from the latest 2_2 to get the MACHINE.SID of an existing PDC into the secrets.tdb of a soon-to-become BDC. I've also noticed `net setlocalsid SID' in alpha20. Is there any way to do the same on alpha18? (I'm staying with alpha18 for now because, fo
