Nt- I don't use the "ldapsam:editposix" option myself, if I understand it correctly it means you don't have to precreate the underlying unix accounts.

However,  I believe you still need to do the following

    Create a samba Administrator account
    Create samba Domain Admins and Domain Users groups.
    Explicitly specify the uid or username for the "guest" user.
Set ldap password for the idmap backend (net idmap secret thedomain xxxx )


"smbpasswd -w" sets the ldap password samba to access ldap for users and groups.
But idmap needs the ldap password set as well eg.

        net idmap secret MYDOMAIN  xxxx
    net idmap secret alloc  xxxx



I don't know if when using the "ldapsam:editposix" option you can use smbpasswd to create the user accounts. Also, I used "net groupmap add...." to create the mappings between the samba Domain Admins group and the unix group by the same name.


If it were me, I would also create local unix groups for "Domain Admins" (e.g. with gid 512), "Domain Users" etc and then use "net groupmap" to map the unix gids to the Windows well known id's.


net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=512 rid=512 type=domain
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=513 rid=513 type=domain
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=514  rid=514 type=domain
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Computers" unixgroup=515 rid=515 type=domain net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Controllers" unixgroup=516 rid=516 type=domain


I would create a unix "Administrator" user in the "Domain Admins" group then use smbpasswd to create the samba Administrator account.

I use Apache Directory Studio for browsing and editing ldap entries. You may find having a GUI ldap browser and editor really useful. You should be able to tell if your LDAP groups have unix gids and samba sids.

This way you can get basic functionality working, then you can start troubleshooting windbind and idmap .

Hello,

I'm trying to use samba v3.3.8 on Centos 5.5 to act as a PDC, using ldap as
the backend for users, groups, and computers.  The ldap I'm using is Centos
Directory Server v8.1.

The setting is a new, never used before, installation of samba and ldap.
There are no users other than what exists by default after a Centos
install.  The smb.conf contains what is my best guess for the desired goal.

The problem at the moment (besides having to guess at what to put in
smb.conf - see below) is that smbd exits about 2 minutes after I start it.
Here are what I think are the relevant bits from the log.smbd:

   ERROR: failed to setup guest info.

winbind is running.  log.winbindd contains nothing useful to me.
log.winbindd-idmap contains lines suggesting it can't bind to the ldap
server:

2011/01/18 13:42:41,  2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(1052)
   failed to bind to server ldap://localhost with dn="uid=samba,ou=Special
Users,

and

[2011/01/18 13:42:49,  1] lib/smbldap.c:another_ldap_try(1231)
   Connection to LDAP server failed for the 8 try!

Why doesn't the smbd log say something equivalent?  In fact, it suggests the
opposite, saying that "The LDAP server is successfully connected".

I did set the samba admin dn's password with the command "smbpasswd -W"
before starting either winbindd or smbd, and also verified that it is
correct using the command "ldapsearch -x -h localhost -s sub -b
ou=people,dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com -D"uid=samba,ou=Special
Users,dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com" -W".

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jon
