Hi, yes the tools should be better described as they are in the smb sources
i found it very hard at my first setup ldap smb.
On the other Hand many setups are thinkable with ldap, a description
to the ldap populate is only one way ( fast , working )
to come to a working smb ldap pdc
The LDAP capability is very useful, which is why I am trying to solve the problems, but the lack of usability is a complete showstopper. I cannot install a system that if something goes wrong in six months time, nobody will have a clue on how to fix it.
I have been looking at the smbldap-tools package, and cannot believe at how difficult it is to set up. Most of the information in the smbldap_conf.pm file is already specified in the smb.conf file - this means that down the line when somebody else changes smb.conf, things will stop working, and they won't know why.
The functionality provided by smbldap-tools should be built into Samba
from scratch, I don't see why there is such a need to jump through hoops
like this.

Hi, as you heard the new Book is on the way , samba is very dynamic this times so i found that this running in a very short time if you think about the big work about doku is to do.
i just setup a big smb ldap bdc vpn enviroment , and my failures give me more understand to ldap and windows .
But all info is just right now on the web , for sure in different places
i had to read technet , ldap faq and idealix doku so iam happy to see the book.
After all i will have to write a doku to my setup system which will host over 500 users , but now as iam going to all my failures i am not afraid to write it.
And i have to do it in german and in english .... have you ever tried to translate tec things in german *grins.
dont be afraid , all the stuff i tested worked very nice so push your work and make users happy with their brand new samba.
Regards
