[Samba] User list
I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it only shows up to certain number of users. The others are there though and they work fine. IE: I created the user 'johnsonz' as one of my last users. If I do a 'gentent passwd | grep johnsonz', then I do not see this user anywhere at all, but if I do 'id johnsonz', it shows his information. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen? Everything seems to be working alright besides this, but I would like to be able to extract a list of users or groups at certain times. At this point, I see no way to do it since there is no /etc/passwd or /etc/group to check.

[Samba] Sync win2k local user list with samba user list
Hi all, I want to be able to at logon sync the windows 2000 userlist with the samba user list, so that each user that is added to the samba server is automatically added to each workstation with appropriate permisions ie admin, power users, etc. Is it possible to do this and if so how. I am running latest samba as PDC with roaming profiles.

Put each user in a domain group, and put that group into the local 'administrators' or 'power users' alias. So far, I've done this with the GUI. It should be possible to do this with remote tools like rpcclient, or with local scripting too.

[Samba] user list
G'day, I have a samba server acting as an nt pdc. My windows machines login tp the server with no problem. However if I create a folder on one of the windows clients and wish to share it a list is not returned from the server and I get a server not available error. However I can use the server for files and have been able to logon so seeing it is not a problem. Can someone point me to the documents I have missed please, or can samba give a client a user list??
