admin login / admin samba problem
« on: December 31, 2007, 01:56:50 AM »
I have two real urgent problems, I placed a bug for both problems but no result until now:

http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3613
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2656

Maybe someone in here can help me with that problems or had the same problems and some workaround for them.
It would be really great, cause I need to create a new user but I can't cause I can't login into the server-manager with my admin user.

Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance.

Sebastian

The "best" people seem to have already been involved in your bug report.

A suggestion is to try completely deleting your admingroup, and then see if normal admin access is available to server manager.

From bugzilla:

I've reinstalled a compare system upgraded it like I did the other system. I
have definitly the same problem. My samba admin has no domain administration
permission.

You say you totally recreated the situation with a second sme server and had the same result.
Well try it with a basic unmodified sme install straight from the 7.2 CD without upgrades, and without adding additional groups and users etc etc etc.

It's probably better to add any results of these tests to the bugtracker, rather than scattering the information throughout these forums, and keep in mind this is the holiday season now, so responses may be slow/less.

Thank you for your answer:

My problem is that I need a new user which I can't create cause I have no access to the server-manager. If there is someone who can explaint to me how I create a new user without the server-manager it would help me a lot at least until the server-manager login problem have been solved.

Well I did suggest you try this:
..... completely deleting your admingroup, and then see if normal admin access is available to server manager.

Can you access the text based server manager ie by logging in as admin & selecting Server manager option ?
