Dear Folks, Now trying to get Samba 3.0.0 RC1 up and running only with LDAP, as PDC. I am using openldap 2.1.22-5 from rawhide on RH9. pbedit was able to migrate the user accounts to the existing posixAcounts in LDAP (nice!) but not the machine accounts, which had no pre-existing entries beyond the top-level entry ou=Devices.
Since the sambaSamAccount is auxiliary, it needs a structural objectClass to work with. What structural objectClass should samba add? Do I need to write a script to add the machine accounts? I thought of a hierarchy like this: ou=People, and ou=Group and ou=Devices under the root of the hierarchy, then under ou=Devices, have entries with the objectClasses device and sambaSamAccount. Is that the intention? How does the "adding a machine" operation work with LDAP (or how is it intended to work)? The HOWTO seems not to explain these points, or have I missed it? -- Nick Urbanik RHCE nicku(at)vtc.edu.hk Dept. of Information & Communications Technology Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) Tel: (852) 2436 8576, (852) 2436 8713 Fax: (852) 2436 8526 PGP: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B ID: 7529555D GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
