Hi everyone,

I installed a Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS with OpenLDAP 2.4.9 and Samba 3.0.28a to authenticate both Windows XP users and Ubuntu desktop users. However, I cannot login to my Windows XP desktop PCs via authentication through the aforementioned ubuntu server. I observed the following on the server.

When I typed "net groupmap list" on the server, I had the following:

Domain Users (S-1-5-21-4094830598-1919084798-598250124-513) -> Domain Users

After I created a user account "peter" with primary group "Domain Users" using "smbldap-useradd", I typed "pdbedit -v -L" on the server, and observed the following:

User SID: S-1-5-21-4094830598-1919084798-598250124-61064
Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-217487775-1352538329-3199194353-513

It seems that the Primary Group SID is different from what I saw using "net groupmap list". Why? I am confused. I think that might be the reason why the server cannot authenticate users from Windows XP PCs. Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Peter

Try looking at MS Services For Unix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_Services_for_UNIX) (SFU). The current version is 3.5

Thanks for sharing this. But I'd like to fix the aforementioned problems on my server. Do you have any suggestions?
