Hurray!! I'm not crazy after all. There really *is* a problem with the creation of machine accounts in 2.2.7a! What is your best guess as to when this will be fixed? Doesn't matter if it is a week, a month or three months but having a guesstimate will give me something to give to someone else and help me plan my thesis which is on Samba. I hope to have a working prototype for my defense this quarter. I've almost got it but the issue with the machine accounts has been makein me crazy.It most certainly doesn't fix all the 2GB issues, it does fix the smbd issue, but there are problems with smbclient and smbtar. I have packages with patches to fix those two, and a 3rd patch to add referral support for LDAP. However, I won't be releasing RPMS for the samba ftp mirrors until the creation of machine accounts is fixed.
I also have another issue to report. I've been trying to write a bash script that adds a user using ldapadd without using an ldif file. In other words using ldapadd and stdin which is supposed to work. However it does not seem to. To whit from a previous email:
Grrr!!
What gets me is why this doesn't work:
echo -e $output > ldapadd -x -D $binddn -W $pw4binddn
where echo -e $output produces:
[root@enigma scripts]# ./adduser alkjdfal
dn: uid=alkjdfal,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: 501
uid: alkjdfal
cn: alkjdfal
gidNumber: 421
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false
gecos: Machine Account
description: Machine Account
502 <--different echo statement
If I do echo -e $output > test.ldif
and then
ldapadd -x -D "cn=root,dc=microverse,dc=net" -f test.ldif from the command line it works fine!
> Do you think this is a bug in ldapadd?
Worst of all, it does not produce any errors!
How we normally work on samba is as follows:
...
I announce on the samba lists, and hardly ever get any response from anyone ...
It is a little busy. Many things slip through the cracks on the Samba list.
