[Samba] Getting user info
Hi all I am looking for a way to get samba to display all avalibel information for a given user (like email, name, ou). I am aware that this is not information directly accesible though active directory unless you use ldap. But I was thinking that someone in here must know a way to retirve such info given a specific domain username. Regards.

[Samba] Samba getting user info from NT PDC
Hi! My boss asked me to be able to share some directories on a FreeBSD Samba server with users already created (and used) on a NT 4.0 PDC server. So I followed http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 I just replaced the Windows 2k part by adding the NetBIOS name of the machine to the NT PDC. When I did the smbpasswd trick it worked like charm: testsmb# smbpasswd -j CH-DOMAIN -r PDC 2003/02/11 10:11:23 : change_trust_account_password: Changed password for domain CH-DOMAIN. Joined domain CH-DOMAIN The trouble is when I make a share on my Samba server and I try to access it from a Windows machine connected to the NT PDC it keeps asking the password and never enters the share. What I need to do is to share a directory. Try to enter it from a Windows machine which is connected to the NT PDC. Samba asks the NT PDC if the user is valid and if so it enters the share. But it doesn't work at all. Any idea ? Thanx ! Here is my smb config file: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = CH-DOMAIN netbios name = TESTSMB server string = TESTSMB Server interfaces = 10.41.0.39/24 security = DOMAIN password server = PDC encrypt passwords = yes update encrypted = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* remote announce = 10.41.0.255 log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 load printers = no os level = 0 preferred master = False local master = no domain master = False wins support = no wins server = 10.41.0.16 hosts allow = 10.41.0. dns proxy = no [www] comment = www root directory path = /usr/local/www/data/ browseable = yes writable = yes -- Pierrick Brossin IT Swiss - QUARK Media House 6a Puits Godet, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland Mail Prof: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

RE: [Samba] Samba getting user info from NT PDC
Hi, 1 caveat for this to work is that the smb user must have an /etc/passwd entry. It can be null login null pass and null home dir (all the gecos feilds can be blank) but the name must exist. I also had to tweak the uid/gid feilds too. Atleast thats what I had to do with v2.2.7. Bri- __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Samba] Samba getting user info from NT PDC
RE: [Samba] Samba getting user info from NT PDCThanx for your answer. It worked after I added the username to the samba server... I read that on samba.org just after I sent the mail to the mailing list ! Now, someone told me I could use winbind to avoid having to add the users to the local machine.. I'll see that on thursday afternoon or friday.

RE: [Samba] Samba getting user info from NT PDC
winbind seems to work OK, the only problem that I had with that was length of the groups (characters). eg. group DOMAIN+Everyone Trying to give a linux directory DOMAIN+Everyone rights ls -l displays only the first 8 characters DOMAIN+E of the group, if you have alot of groups it makes it difficult to figure out which one is which. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to fix that.
