[Samba] samba account question
In our ldap, we have people who are in the following objectclasses top person inetOrgPerson posixAccount shadowAccount customObjectClass: by doing a comparison of the exported .ldif files from a (test) person's entry before and after using 'smbpasswd -a' on a machine that is configured to make those changes back into the directory (instead of in the smbpasswd file) i discover that in addition to objectclass: sambaAccount i also have the following attributes rid: displayName: logonTime: 0 primaryGroupID: 1201 objectClass: sambaAccount acctFlags: [UX ] logoffTime: 2147483647 kickoffTime: 2147483647 pwdLastSet: 1043292599 pwdCanChange: 0 pwdMustChange: 2147483647 I'm trying to build a php page that will promote a user to objectclass: sambaAccount -- my question is: Can I just populate those attributes with the above default values? DisplayName can be generated from cn or gecos. Do i need to use a specific algorithm for generating an rid? Or can I just pick from a range of available numbers? thank you very much in advance for your time, ~c -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] dns
My problem is almost certainly that I've screwed up my local bind configuration (I have bind running on my LAN behind a NATted gateway). Until last week, samba was working just fine. Obviously at some point last week I made a change to my zone files which meant that my yip.yay addresses no longer resolve (yip.yay is just a name i picked out of a hat -- i don't own the domain or anything, but since this is a private network i don't think it matters). When I try to connect with another machine (prometheus -- 172.27.5.3 in this case) i see the following in /var/log/samba/log.prometheus: [2002/12/03 20:20:45, 0] lib/util_sock.c:matchname(900) sys_gethostbyname(prometheus.yip.yay): lookup failure. [2002/12/03 20:20:45, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_name(967) Matchname failed on prometheus.yip.yay 172.27.5.3 I definitely want to figure out what I did wrong with my bind configuration, but in the meantime is there a way that I can ask samba not to query dns so that samba will be usable until I get this fixed? thank you very much in advance for you time, ~c -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
