Breaking it down more specifically, what values are needed for LDAP authentication in SAMBA, in the smb.conf file? I have the following set in /etc/sfw/smb.conf:
# Backend to store user information in. New installations should # use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards # compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration. passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://xxx.xx.x.x:xxx ldap admin dn = ??=??,?=??,?=?? ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap user suffix = ou=people ldap suffix = ?=??,?=?? ldap server = xxx.xx.x.xx ldap port = 389 # ldap ssl = no domain logons = no The x's and ?'s are to mask the real IP addresses and sensitive LDAP information. The smb.conf worked great when using /etc/passwd as the authentication database. Here's a bit from the SAMBA log.smbd log file, the same message repeated 15 times: smbd/server.c:(1057) ERROR: failed to setup guest info.
