" ldapsam:editposix"-Is as I can tell not a good solution whenever I tried
this it did not
Work right. And there is nowhere a good and new howto about this feature. No

Hello,

I can't join a winxp box to my samba domain.  I just have one samba
server, meant to act as a PDC for domain='CHI'.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot and/or remedy?

Thanks,

Jon

Context:
------------
samba v3.3.8 on CentOS v5.5, using ldapsam backend.  Domainname ='CHI'.
smbldap-tools v0.9.6.
I 'populated' the ldap with 'smbldap-populate'.

I try to join the winxp box, authenticating to the domain as user
'jdetert', which is a member of the 'Administrators' group:
# smbldap-groupshow Administrators
dn: cn=Administrators,ou=Groups,dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com
objectClass: top,posixGroup,sambaGroupMapping
gidNumber: 544
cn: Administrators
description: Netbios Domain Members can fully administer the
computer/sambaDomainName
sambaSID: S-1-5-32-544
sambaGroupType: 5
displayName: Administrators
memberUid: jdetert,root

What happens:
----------------------
a failure dialog window pops up on the winxp box with this message:
'The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "CHI":
The user name could not be found.'

-- snip --

I am working through a similar setup at the moment.

Looking at the smbldap-useradd source, status 9 is "user must not exist
in
LDAP", so I assume from that that the workstation userid already exists?


Turns out you are correct.  So, I deleted the 'user'="testfsclient$"
from the ou=Computers, and retried, but it failed with the same error,
and it re-created the user object.

Any ideas how/why joining the domain is not fully working?

Thanks,

Jon

A couple more things:
1) smbldap-populate initializes the sambaGroupType for all the
S-1-5-32-* SIDs to 5.  This is incorrect.  It should be 4, but this
probably isn't causing this issue.
2) I think that root needs to be in the Domain Admins group in order
to join a machine to the domain, not the Administrators group which is
a local group.  At least that is how I am set up.
3) Depending on the details of your implementation you may not need to
use smbldap-tools at all.  Have a look at the ldapsam:editposix and
ldapsam:trusted on the smb.conf man page.  Note that using
ldapsam:editposix is one case where winbind is required on a Samba PDC.

Exactly how did ldapsam:editposix not "work right"?

I thought that the smb.conf man page described things well enough.

I have converted my test set up from using smbldap-tools to using ldapsam:posixedit and so far it is doing everything that I was using smbldap-tools for correctly. I am using the SerNet 3.5.6 RPMs.
