[Samba] Samba PDC+LDAP on FreeBSD

[Long-Sheng Kuo]

Hello,
I am trying to use Samba (2.2.7a)+ LDAP (2.0.25) as PDC on FreeBSD 4.7. But it turned out that LDAP is not easy-going!!!

Without LDAP, things seems fine. I can join the Win2000 machine accounts and the shares are all right. However, when configurating samba with ldap support, then smbpasswd couldn't work anymore. I can only use
# smbpasswd -w secretpassword

to add the password for rootdn. Nothing else.

I read some articles online but very few are especially for FreeBSD. In addition, a lot of articles about samba+LDAP didn't detail about the CA certificate. I am wondering if there is anyone could help me out this problems. I think I need to know:

1. What packages/ports do I need to install? Because most papers of LDAP online I could find mentioned little about Openssl. However, as I know, it's necessary for the option "ldap ssl = start_tls" in Samba . Also, I didn't find any ports of nss_ldap, but nss_ldap was mentioned by all samba+LDAP combination. What's wrong with that? nss_ladp didn't support FreeBSD? Without nss_ladp, can I still achieve my goal: Samba+ LDAP as PDC?

2. Individual configuration/setting for every package.

3. How to start every service?

Any response would be appreciated.
