Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
Hi, it is a request feature : Example : - you have a Windows 2003 Domain Controller named "dc1". - you have a linux machine and in smb.conf, a mistake is made : "netbios name" parameter is set to "dc1" if you want to join machine to your domain, and if you use "net rpc" instead of "net ads", the command will succeed. But the DC1 machine object on your 2003 Domain Controller will be replaced by a new object that referred to the linux machine ! At this point, after reboot, your windows 2003 Domain Controller is unusable (DNS down can't contact Active Directory) Solution is to use Microsoft tool : netdom resetpwd It would be great if net rpc detect existing object machine named as linux machine .. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- net rpc command potentially dangerous on Windows 2003 Server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
