I am already using a script as a mediary to my smbldap scripts on the PDC. I can simply add in to replicate changes to the second LDAP database on the SLOX server. I don't really want to use my SLOX server as my PDC so...
The schemas are different enough that integrating both of them would be a big job. Just an FYI but i have Samba3.0.2 up and running on my SLOX server without any issues :) -----Original Message----- From: Simon Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 6:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba3-LDAP PDC and SUSE OpenExchange Board, Clint wrote: >I have setup a Samba3 PDC and BDC with an LDAP backend to replace my current >NT 4.0 infrastructure.

The LDAP schema is fairly easy to see, so I guess the first step would be to compare the schemas and see what is missing/different. If you can't reconcile the schema differences, would it be practical to configure replications to transfer key elements (such as password) between the two LDAP servers ? OK, not ideal, and you would still need to add users in two places, but it would allow you to have a single password for each user. It should be possible to write a script that would take any new users from one database and add them to the other, adding any extra fields with default values. * We are using it with XP, at first we had loads and loads of problems, but our vendor upgraded Samba to 2.2.8a, so now we only have loads of problems :-( Simon -- Simon Hobson, Technology Specialist Colony Gift Corporation Limited Lindal in Furness, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 0LD Tel 01229 461100, Fax 01229 461101 Registered in England No. 1499611 Regd.
