[Samba] Fedora Core 3 and Samba
Over the last week I've upgraded one of my samba servers to FC3. I ran into some problems joining XP machines to the domain. Tracing back the problem I've found that FC3 has changed the behavior of the useradd/adduser script. It will no longer allow a UNIX account to be added to the system that has a '$' in it. I've verified this behavior by trying it at the command line, it doesn't work there and give the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED](~): useradd newer\$ useradd: invalid user name 'newer$ Upon speculation we believe this might be to bring Fedora/Redhat user utils in line with POSIX standards. Under POSIX this is the Portable Filename Charcterset which is as follows: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789._- Notice no '$'. But the standard goes on to say extended characters are allowed, but it will result in noncompliant use... This is behaving this way on a test server and the latest Redhat ES (running on our production server) still works fine. But I'm concerned that they'll move ES/AS etc. to behaving the same way. If this is a direction that Redhat moves to, and possibly other distributions (assuming it's truly POSIX standards driving this), this seems like it may have a big impact on Samba when trying to add a machine to the domain. I don't know if this is something Fedora/Redhat has done on purpose or by accident, but it seems to hurt Samba. Any help or info would be appreciated. -- Paul Espinosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT Supervisor The World Company 785/312-6912 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Getting the SID
Hello all, I'm getting ready to upgrade an old outdated Samba installation. Moving to new hardware and Samba 3.0.7. And now I've got a little conundrum. How to I get the local SID from the old samba server. It's running Samba 2.2.2 and it doesn't appear to have the -X flag for smbpasswd that is supposed to be in 2.2.8 and it obviously doesn't have the net getlocalsid command. Any help is appreciated.

[Samba] Problem using Windows User Manager
I am using Samba 3.0.4-1 and am seeing some odd behavior using Windows User Manager. I have Domain Users mapped to users using net groupmap. And have my add user to group command mapped correctly. I can add users just fine to the Linux users group using User Manager. But when I go back to look at membership in User Manager it says the first 31 users are members and the rest of the users are not members. In /etc/group all the users are members of the users group. User Manager is just reporting it wrong.
