Hi guys, I've installed openldap-2.1.25 and Samba-3.0.2 and configured everything with no TLS on a Slackware-9.1 Linux box.
To manage the LDAP backed I've used smbldap-tools-0.8.4. After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be working correctly. My only problem is that I cannot seem to get a machine account added correctly. I've added the PC name to /etc/passwd etc. with "useradd -s /bin/false -g computers pc1$" and also run "smbldap-useradd -w pc1". When the computer attempts to join the domain it receives an "unable to join domain" error. It seems that "smbldap-useradd -w pc1" seems to add only a posix account to the LDAP backend ?: ----------- pc1$, Computers, domain.net dn: uid=pc1$,ou=Computers,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount cn: pc1$ sn: pc1$ uid: pc1$ uidNumber: 1007 gidNumber: 553 homeDirectory: /dev/null loginShell: /bin/false description: Computer ------------- I've missed something somewhere for sure ? Perhaps I need nss_ldap ? I've also tried using the smbldap-tools that come with samba-3.0.2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] KZN's first and only pure Linux solution provider ____________________________________________________ LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's shell provider.
