Sorry for the Crossposting, but I feel there is a need to address all users, developers, and others on this. Please, if needed, could someone translate this mail into norwegian or other languages.
And please be sure to post folowups to [email protected] you may find this thread on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.education if you want to follow the discussion, but not join the mailing lists On the Daily built cd, the one that are to be RC3 some day, there is a working solution with samba. At least have all my tests proved this to be working. But if someone else could test this, It would be nice. I think Kurt in Germany told me it worked. There is one thing you have to do before you add win2k/xp clients. you have to run the command smbpasswd root this will set the "samba root password". And according to the samba documentation, this should not be the same as your root account password. Maybe we could preset this to "skolelinux", so that everyone could add the win2k/XP clients to the domain, but I'm not sure. I don't think so. I'm not sure if it is possible to add a group which would be allowed to add clients. The samba documentation says that you have to do this as "root", but by adding other users to the "admin users = " line in /etc/samba/smb.conf, the aditional users are allowed to add users. If so, it could be sufficient to atty the group "@admins" or even "@jradmins" and they would be allowed. But for thos of you that are running samba versions older than 3.0.2a, I'm not able to help you until next weekend. There are some problems on the upgrade path. - there are a new samba schema, so befor an upgrade, please do a slapcat -l old.ldif upgrade samba _and_ debian-edu-config convert the old.ldif using the script in /usr/share/doc/samba.doc/examples/LDAP/convert...gz then edit new.ldif, to move any existing machine account from ou=People and in to ou=Machine,ou=People add the ou=Machines,ou=People to the ldap tree. make sure that the new slapd-debian-edu.conf is in use move the content of /var/lib/ldap/ into ldap.old or some other backup directory. do a slapadd -l new.ldif to add the new ldif. Then go on and write a better howto than this. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/
