I believe the README is out of date. Their website says that something like .80 and up work on 3.x. I have used .84 to populate a 3.0.2 server just fine making only configuration changes like server locations, containers, and domain SID. I did have to hack one script for my purposes, but that was only because my primary ldap server is over a greater-latency-than-local-lan link and replication takes a couple seconds.

I have downloaded the updated set of scripts, but the readme file says they should be modified to work with Samba 3 (I have 3.0.2), since they have been made for Samba 2.2 Is this information outdated?

I don't think you 'have' to, but you'll get more functionality if you do.

You should go grab the newest idealx LDAP management scripts, you don't
say what version of samba you have, but the scripts are probably newer
than what you have if you installed from the RPM that came with the base
Fedora install.  There's a script in that set called something like
smbldap-populate that will create all the users and groups you need for
Windows equivilency.  You will also want to delete the old ones when you
put the new in place.  At some point they changed from *.pl to just *
for the script names.

Make sure you edit the config files in the smbldap-tools package before
you start monkeying with them, particularly the LDAP container names and
your domain SID.

Hi All,

I know this must have been discussed around here a million times, but I
really didn't find this info anywhere else and I'm on a deadline here.

I already have an FC1 server with a working LDAP directory  in production.
The same server runs a Samba PDC, but not with LDAP functionality yet.

All I need to know right now is if I have to include some standard user
and group accounts, like Adminstrator and such. Also,how do I generate
the NT and Lanman password hashes so I can include them in the uses'
ldifs?

And please, don't point me to that Samba-LDAP howto 'cause it did nothing
but confuse me more.

Thanks,
