Here's my question: I have 1 Samba 3.0 server with LDAP 2.1.23 running on backend from the same machine. These are both RedHat 8.0. I have 2 other servers I would like to use the same LDAP directory. I used net join to join the servers to the domain. Prior to joining the domain the the servers had no SID. After using net join they got a new SID (net getlocalsid). In the LDAP directory what SID base should be attached to users and computers that I add? The original Domain SID?
I may have messed this up. What I want to do is set up the second 2 servers as member servers in the domain, and put user accounts with home directories on them. User uses LDAP to authenticate to member server. So far I can create an account and login in but I am unsure if I m using the SID for the user correctly. What is a recommended for master slave LDAP servers that are used primarily for authentication to Samba servers. Should I set up a slave LDAP server for the member servers? These member servers would be located in separate buildings. The main server has about 1000 user accounts, and member servers about 120 each when finished. At any one time I anticipate 20-30% will be logged in during peak hours. Any help that anyone can give me on this I'd appreciate. This is a fairly large installation that eventually will span 8 building each with there own Samba server but authenticating to a single OpenLDAP directory. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
