Hi,
I'm running samba 3.2.5 as a domain controller on a Debian Lenny server
with authentication data stored in a local openldap instance. The server
has been running smoothly since I originally set it up on Sarge. I upgraded
to Etch a while back and then to Lenny about a month ago.
I'm trying to add a new Windows XP SP3 client to the domain for the first
time since the latest upgrade and I'm getting the error message "The user
name could not be found" on the client. I've joined clients to the domain
previously with no problems using the "root" account on the server.
Upon examining the ldap entries I can see that an account *was* created for
the computer (named foshan), but it is incomplete as it only has the
following attributes:
cn foshan$
description Computer
gecos Computer
gidNumber 515
homeDirectory /dev/null
loginShell /bin/false
uid foshan$
uidNumber 4905
Steve,
Are you using OpenLDAP? Is it possible that during the Debian upgrade, the
OpenLDAP schema files got changed, and so it's failing because updates would
violate the schema (perhaps, because, the samba schema file is now missing or
not being loaded..?)
Somewhere in there, I think Debian switched from using OpenLDAP with schema
configuration files to schema-over-LDAP updates. If it tried to convert your
schema and failed, or even just flat-out ignored it, that would cause the
problem.
Turn slapd's logging to debug or sniff the LDAP transaction when you try to
join the machine and see what that gets you?
Wes
That sounds likely. I'll look into it.
