Re: [Samba] Replication Ok, or not?

2013-02-12 Thread Michael Ray
I just set-up replication this morning and saw a similar situation. I tested it by simply turning off my PDC and seeing what happened -- and everything worked just fine. I then also added a new user to this alternate DC, brought up the PDC, killed the alternate DC after a minute, and checked

[Samba] AD uid/gid attributes

2013-02-06 Thread Michael Ray
Hey all- I know this kind of post has come up before, but I was unable to get results following previous postings, so if anyone can shed a little light on this, I'd be very grateful: The gist of the situation is this: PDC: Samba4 [4.1.0pre1-GIT-394622e ] Member: Samba3 (being used as a

[Samba] pam.d conf local logins

2013-02-05 Thread Michael Ray
Hey all, I've got a notion of how I think pam.d works and I used guides online to set-it up correctly on various boxes. However, when I tried this configuration (see link) on Ubuntu 12.04 and joined that machine to the domain, the local logins were taking forever to resolve and the whole

[Samba] Group Policy Linux Machines

2013-02-01 Thread Michael Ray
Hey all- So linux machines in my domain, served by a Samba4 PDC, show up in the Administrative Tools. I was testing GP to see if it would apply to linux machines -- a basic one, just trying to deny a user from logging in. It does nothing; though from samba-tool, I can verify this policy is

[Samba] Samba3 File Server + Winbind -- AD Authentication Flaky/Inconsistent/Unreliable

2013-01-25 Thread Michael Ray
Hey all, So, there are about a billion guides on the interwebs about how to have a samba3 file share authenticate against a samba4 AD. However, I am having two giant problems: one problem is that my problems are not consistent and the second problem is that it isn't working (presently).

2013-01-23 Thread Michael Ray
Hello all, I'm in the process of trying to get Samba4 up and running as AD for my company. It's been a bumpy, but productive road. However, one thing that I'd like clarification on before we go live (which hopefully isn't too far out), is the use of MS Administrative Tools. The wiki
